Illustrative case study

48 V industrial lithium battery module.

This case is entirely fictional and is shown only to demonstrate the type of DPP preparation output a real engagement could produce.

Starting point

The fictional manufacturer has an ERP export, a BOM, a Declaration of Conformity, a technical datasheet, several supplier declarations and a set of performance test reports. The information exists, but it is not organised around the passport requirements.

Before

  • Evidence spread across unrelated files.
  • Supplier dependencies mixed into email threads.
  • No single owner for several fields.
  • Unclear implementation handover.

After

  • Requirement matrix linked to source IDs.
  • Seven supplier dependencies tracked separately.
  • Missing/verify items assigned to owners.
  • Structured output ready for DPP implementation decisions.

Want to do this with one real product?

The pilot is intentionally small: enough to reveal the actual data and supplier work before committing to a full catalogue rollout.
