The Course
Step into the world of configuration modeling with a hands-on course that introduces you to cpq.se's proven methodology, built on years of combined experience in CPQ and product modeling. This course will equip you with the fundamental skills to master Tacton Studio and develop smart, constraint-based product models that simplify even the most complex customizations in manufacturing.
You’ll start by learning the basics of our approach to product modeling, which emphasizes structure, clarity, and reusability. Using Tacton Studio, you’ll be guided through creating your first product model, applying intelligent rules that drive configurations, and ensuring that only valid combinations are possible. Our methodology is built on a deep understanding of how constraints and dependencies can streamline the configuration process, allowing you to confidently model products that are both flexible and robust.
In our light truck modeling training, we take a holistic approach to teaching participants how to manage complex product configurations using real-world scenarios. The light truck example demonstrates how to structure and organize a wide range of customizable options—such as components, features, and modules—while applying intelligent constraints that ensure compatibility and accuracy in every configuration. Through hands-on exercises, participants learn key concepts like modularization, which simplifies complex product structures by breaking them into manageable, reusable parts. This practical, methodology-driven training equips participants with the skills to handle intricate dependencies, set up effective product rules, and streamline the entire configuration process from sales to production.
What you will learn
I created the Tacton Modeling course with a strong focus on methodology, specifically designed for those new to product modeling within the Tacton CPQ system. The course is built to ensure a smooth learning experience, guiding you step by step so you can easily follow along and understand how the methodology applies to real-world use cases. Each lesson builds on the previous one, helping you grasp the intricacies of Tacton’s powerful configuration engine without feeling overwhelmed.
Throughout the course, we explore best practices for structuring models, emphasizing how to manage complex product configurations effectively and efficiently. You'll work through real-world examples that show how using the right methodology simplifies even the most complicated configurations. In addition, the hands-on exercises will reinforce your understanding, allowing you to apply Tacton modeling techniques with confidence.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills to build flexible, robust models within the Tacton CPQ environment. The methodology you’ll learn will not only give you precision in your modeling but also a strong foundation to innovate in your own product setup. And, with the support of our community, you’ll have guidance every step of the way.
