Schematic diagram of the Aras PLM tool for the production of bespoke medical equipment. The first row highlights the product life stages. The second row identifies the personnel roles at each stage. The third row shows the workflow of tasks and activities. The roles associated with each task or activity are identified by the corresponding numbers (top right corner of each task box) e.g., the first task in the “data gathering” stage has numbers 1 and 2, meaning it involves NHS Medical Physics personnel, and personnel working at the interface between the NHS and the engineering organisation. The fourth row outlines the data output.
