# UNS Hierarchy — Corporate AI Portal Queries > **Purpose:** factual lookup questions to send to the corporate documentation AI portal. These are distinct from [`QUESTIONS.md`](QUESTIONS.md) — that file holds *design / convention* questions for a human owner; this file holds *factual* questions whose answers exist in corporate documentation (site directories, ERP plant master, MES, asset register, plant-engineering docs, etc.). > > **How to use:** fire each question at the portal independently. Paste the response under the question (in the **Response** block) as it comes back. Once a question is answered, fold the answer into the relevant subtree file (`warsaw-west.json`, `warsaw-north.json`, etc.) and/or into [`QUESTIONS.md`](QUESTIONS.md) if it resolves a design question. > > **Drafted:** 2026-04-30. **First answers folded in 2026-04-30** from OpenText Content Management CE 25.3 (`livelink.nam.zimmer.com`) browse session — the AI portal does not index OpenText, so this content was extracted via browser automation against folders we have access to (read-only, no downloads). > > **Source convention:** answers tagged `[OpenText: ]` cite the OpenText folder/document path; `[AI portal]` would be from the corporate AI portal (none yet). ## Priority - **High** — directly unblocks a per-site subtree file (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q6, Q7, Q9). - **Medium** — shapes equipment-leaf walk and naming conventions (Q11–Q15). - **Low** — confirms existing-standards alignment, low risk if unanswered (Q4, Q5, Q8, Q10, Q16–Q19). --- ## Site list & site codes ### Q1 — Site list (High) — SUBSTANTIALLY ANSWERED What is the authoritative list of manufacturing sites for the company, including which ones are active vs. planned vs. decommissioned, and which region each one belongs to? **Response (partial — corporate-entity folders, not necessarily all manufacturing sites):** Top-level folders at `[OpenText: Enterprise]` representing Zimmer business units / sites: - Zimmer Manufacturing B.V. (ZMBV) - Ponce - Zimmer Shannon - Zimmer TMT (Trabecular Metal Technology) - Synvasive Reno - Zimmer Austin Orthopedic - Zimmer Beijing - Zimmer Biomet Guaynabo (Puerto Rico) - Zimmer CAS - Zimmer Dental - Zimmer Spine - Zimmer Surgical - Zimmer Trauma Plus regional/grouping folders: Asia Pacific, Canada, Departments. The **Warsaw, IN headquarters** (with West Campus and North Campus) does not appear at this level — its content lives under `Business Teams > Real Estate and Facilities > Warsaw Real Estate and Facilities`. **Galway is not visible at this level either** — likely under Asia Pacific or another structure. **Caveat:** these are *content folders*, not necessarily an authoritative manufacturing-site directory. A real site directory likely lives in HR / IT / ERP master data, not OpenText. The folder list here is best treated as a **lower-bound** of distinct business entities with documentation in OpenText. **Update (2026-04-30, post-download of `Global Real Estate Information.xls`, 580 KB, 2014 vintage = pre-Biomet-merger Zimmer-only data):** master "Global Real Estate" worksheet has 198 rows covering 45 country sheets. **Manufacturing-classified sites globally** (filtered on Primary Use): | Country | City | Address | Sq Ft | Notes | |---------|------|---------|-------|-------| | Switzerland | Winterthur / Zurich | Sulzer Allee 8 | 251,339 | **Active major site** — plan currently classifies as "not yet integrated"; needs reclassification | | USA | Allendale, NJ | 80 Commerce Drive | 22,654 | **ZTMT Offices / Manufacturing** — TMT is here | | USA | Calabasas, CA | 27030 Malibu Hills Rd | 35,719 | not in plan | | USA | Carlsbad, CA | 1900 Aston Avenue | 44,757 | not in plan | | USA | Cedar Knolls, NJ | 48 Horsehill Road | 23,198 | **ZTMT Offices / Manufacturing** | | USA | Dover, OH | 200 West Ohio Ave | 138,000 | not in plan | | USA | Livingston, NJ | 100 Navlon Ave | 7,500 | not in plan | | USA | Mercedita, PR | Mercedita Plant | 112,800 | **Separate from Ponce** — PR has 2 sites | | USA | Parsippany, NJ | 10 Pomeroy Road | 112,000 | **ZTMT Offices / Manufacturing** — largest TMT site | | USA | Ponce, PR | Parque Ind. El Tuque | 12,054 | matches plan's Ponce | | USA | Statesville, NC | 2021 Old Mountain Rd | 80,001 | not in plan | | USA | Warsaw, IN | (9 addresses, 1,141,003 sq ft total) | — | see Warsaw breakdown below | **Warsaw, IN — 9 manufacturing addresses (2014 legacy-Zimmer only; pre-Biomet-merger so does NOT include North Campus lettered buildings):** - 1800 West Center St — **552,230 sq ft** (main HQ campus — the numbered buildings 2–20 are on this property) - 508 Detroit Street — 24,820 sq ft (matches "Detroit St" PDFs in OpenText) - 1610 W Armstrong Road — 30,764 sq ft - 1612 Armstrong Road — 20,134 sq ft - 1625 Armstrong Road — 16,378 sq ft - 1639 Armstrong Road — 5,875 sq ft - 320 Hepler Drive — 30,838 sq ft - 400 S. Zimmer Rd — 19,000 sq ft Several of these are likely the "Cessna" and "Detroit St" buildings that appeared in the OpenText `Zimmer Biomet Buildings` folder but didn't fit either the numbered or lettered scheme — they are auxiliary Warsaw, IN production buildings outside the main 1800 W Center St campus. **Notable absences from this 2014 doc:** Shannon, Galway, Berlin, Jacksonville, and the lettered (Biomet) buildings — all of these are post-2015-merger acquisitions or sites that came in via Biomet. **Implication for UNS / plan:** the plan's "Other integrated sites" list (Shannon, Galway, TMT, Ponce) is correct as the SCADA-integrated subset — most other sites in this list are not (yet) on the SCADA system. **However**, two corrections to the plan are warranted: 1. **Winterthur, Switzerland is a major manufacturing site (251K sq ft active)**, not a "smaller footprint" not-yet-integrated site as `current-state.md` currently classifies it. Onboarding it via the standardized stack is a significantly larger effort than the plan currently implies. 2. **TMT is in New Jersey (Allendale, Cedar Knolls, Parsippany)** — three sites totaling 157K sq ft. The plan's `tmt` site shortname is fine but the location is NJ, not Indiana, not Japan (Japan is a separate registration). Mercedita, PR is separate from Ponce, PR. --- ### Q2 — Site code system (High) Does the company use a standard site-code or facility-code system (for example a 2- or 3-letter code used across IT, ERP, HR, or finance)? If yes, what are the codes for **Warsaw West**, **Warsaw North**, **Shannon**, **Galway**, **TMT**, **Ponce**, **South Bend**, **Berlin**, **Winterthur**, and **Jacksonville**? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q3 — TMT meaning (High) — ANSWERED What does the abbreviation **TMT** stand for as a manufacturing site, and what is its full official name? Where is it located? **Response:** **TMT = Zimmer Trabecular Metal Technology, Inc.** — wholly owned subsidiary of Zimmer Holdings, Inc. Also does business as "Zimmer" and "Implex" (a/k/a "Zimmer Trabecular Metal Technology, Inc dba Zimmer and Implex"). Zimmer Biomet Canada is the contracted manufacturer for TMT-listed devices. Registered as a foreign medical-device manufacturer in Japan with establishment number BG30401579(TMT). Source: `[OpenText: Enterprise > Zimmer TMT > ... > TMT ISO (SGS) Certificates / State of NJ... > SGS Reports > Past Reports]` — the SGS audit reports `2023-10-03-AUR-SGSGU-F002993 SIGNED MDSAP...` and `2021-09-27-AUR-SGSGU-F002993 SIGNED MDSAP...`. **Sub-finding:** site has its own dedicated top-level folder `Enterprise > Zimmer TMT` with subfolders for Document Control (57 items), Quality, Sourcing — created by Virendra Atri in 2013, suggesting India-based ownership. **Implication for UNS:** the site shortname `tmt` aligns with the corporate naming; long-form display would be "Zimmer Trabecular Metal Technology" or "Zimmer TMT". --- ### Q4 — SAP plant codes (Low) What are the **SAP plant codes** (or equivalent ERP plant identifiers) for each of our manufacturing sites? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q5 — Camstar MES site codes (Low) What are the **Camstar MES site codes** in use, and how do they map to the physical sites? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Warsaw campus building maps ### Q6 — Warsaw West buildings (High) — ANSWERED What is the authoritative list of buildings on the **Warsaw West** campus, including building number, building name, primary purpose (production / office / warehouse / lab / utility), and approximate footprint? Specifically, are buildings other than 5 and 19 used for production? **Response (partial):** The Warsaw campus has **far more buildings than just 5 and 19.** Authoritative folder `[OpenText: Enterprise > Business Teams > Real Estate and Facilities > Warsaw Real Estate and Facilities > Facility Information > Zimmer Biomet Buildings]` (objId=4638251) contains 31 floor-plan PDFs, one per building/floor. Building inventory: - **Numbered buildings**: 2 (1F), 3 (LL/1/2/3), 4 (1/2), 5 (1/2), 7, 8 (1/2), 10, 14 (1&2), 15 (Z Hotel — 4 floors), 17, 18, 19, 20. - **Lettered buildings**: A (3 floors), B (2 floors), C, D, E, I (2 floors). Likely a separate sub-campus — they appeared together earlier under `Asset_Management_Warsaw > BLDG A_009 > BLDG A CASE 6 SHELF 3_01` with a `Mikron_Main Campus Map.pdf` reference, suggesting these may be the **Mikron** facility / older building-letter naming convention. - **Named buildings**: Cessna (1F & 2F), Detroit St-1 floor, Detroit St-2 floor (Detroit Street is in Warsaw, IN, so "Detroit St" buildings are Warsaw addresses, not Detroit). **West Campus / North Campus split is real** (parent folder `[OpenText: Real Estate and Facilities]` has both `North Campus Training` and `West Campus Training` subfolders), but the building-to-campus assignment is **not visible from folder names alone** — it lives in the PDFs `Zimmer West Campus.pdf` (161 KB), `Warsaw Facilities Location Map.pdf` (117 KB), and the Excel `Zimmer Warsaw - Building Use Descriptions.xlsx` (12 KB) under `Facility Information`. Opening any of these requires an explicit download permission. **Authoritative facilities contact (2019):** Vrushali Pandya, Sr. Facilities Specialist, Facilities Department, 1800 W. Center Street, Warsaw IN 46581 — `Vrushali.Pandya@zimmerbiomet.com`. Sourced from email `[OpenText: 01-Zimmer Warsaw-Establishment No.-18225... > Establishment Registration > Map 3 mile radius > RE List and Map of West Campus Buildings.msg]` (objId=56700739). **Implication for UNS:** the original draft assumption of "Warsaw West = bldg-5 + bldg-19" is too narrow. Need either the West Campus PDF or the Building Use Descriptions Excel to finalize. Some "buildings" are office/hotel (Bldg 15 = "Z Hotel"), not production — purpose breakdown is critical before committing to UNS Areas. **Resolution (2026-04-30):** project owner confirmed verbally that **numbered buildings = legacy Zimmer = Warsaw West Campus**, and **lettered buildings (A, B, C, …) = legacy Biomet = Warsaw North Campus**. This corresponds to the 2015 Zimmer-Biomet merger of two physically adjacent Warsaw, IN sites. The Building Use Descriptions doc (downloaded 2026-04-30) enumerates the numbered buildings 2–20 with use descriptions: | Bldg | Use | |------|-----| | 2 | Printing Services, Bone Cement, **Packaging Clean Rooms** | | 5 | **Main manufacturing facility** (Foundry, Mfg, Packaging, R&D, Quality, Engineering Services, …) | | 7 | Tool Support Center, **Upper Extremity Manufacturing** | | 10 | **Hip and Knee Manufacturing**, Packaging Clean Rooms | | 19 | Trauma Corporate HQ + **Trauma, Instrument, and Knee & Hip Manufacturing, Foundry** | | 20 | Scrap Salvage, **Sheet Metal**, Warehousing | Non-production: 3 (Executive offices), 4 (Distribution Center), 8 (Global Events), 14 (Airport Hangar), 15 (Z Hotel), 17 (IRS Offices), 18 (Residential Housing). **Resolution applied to `warsaw-west.json`:** Warsaw West Areas = `bldg-2`, `bldg-5`, `bldg-7`, `bldg-10`, `bldg-19`, `bldg-20` (production buildings only; non-production 3, 4, 8, 14, 15, 17, 18 excluded per the goal-state design that Areas at Warsaw campuses are production buildings). **Outstanding sub-questions (low priority, not blocking):** - **Cessna** and **Detroit St-1 / Detroit St-2** PDFs were in the same `Zimmer Biomet Buildings` folder but are neither numbered nor lettered. They belong to neither West nor North under this rule. Likely separate auxiliary buildings or a third Warsaw facility — verify during the walk. - **Lettered building purposes** are not yet known (no equivalent of the Building Use Descriptions doc was found for North Campus). All six lettered buildings are included in `warsaw-north.json` pending the walk; non-production ones should be removed once identified. - Lettering jumps from E to I — verify whether F, G, H exist, were demolished, or follow a different naming. --- ### Q7 — Warsaw North buildings (High — primary blocker) — ANSWERED What is the authoritative list of buildings on the **Warsaw North** campus, including building number, building name, primary purpose (production / office / warehouse / lab / utility), and approximate footprint? **Response:** **Lettered buildings (A, B, C, D, E, I) = Warsaw North Campus = legacy Biomet site.** Confirmed verbally by project owner; corresponds to the 2015 Zimmer-Biomet merger of two physically adjacent Warsaw, IN sites. Six lettered buildings visible in `[OpenText: Warsaw Real Estate and Facilities > Facility Information > Zimmer Biomet Buildings]`: A (3 floors), B (2 floors), C (1 floor), D (1 floor), E (1 floor), I (2 floors). Lettering jumps from E to I — F, G, H not visible; verify during walk. **Resolution applied to `warsaw-north.json`:** Warsaw North Areas = `bldg-a`, `bldg-b`, `bldg-c`, `bldg-d`, `bldg-e`, `bldg-i` — all included pending verification of which are production vs. non-production (no equivalent of the Building Use Descriptions doc was found for North Campus). Walk should remove non-production buildings. --- ### Q8 — Multi-floor production buildings (Low) Are any **Warsaw campus production buildings** split across multiple floors with distinct production processes per floor? If so, which buildings and what's on each floor? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Production lines & cells (per site) ### Q9 — Production line inventory (High) What are the named or numbered **production lines** currently operating at each integrated site (Warsaw West buildings 5 and 19, Warsaw North, Shannon, Galway, TMT, Ponce)? Looking for: line identifier, what the line produces, and where it physically sits within the site/building. **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q10 — Existing plant taxonomy (Low) Is there an existing **plant taxonomy** or **work-center hierarchy** documented anywhere — for example an ISA-95 model, a Camstar work-center tree, an Ignition project structure, or an Aveva System Platform Galaxy hierarchy — that already defines Site / Area / Line / Cell / Equipment for our sites? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q11 — Line naming convention in use today (Medium) When a single physical production line is described across our internal documentation (engineering drawings, MES, capacity plans), is it named by a **number** (Line 1, Line 2), by a **product or process** (Assembly A, Packout, Injection 2), or by an **internal code** (e.g., MX-204)? Looking for the convention(s) actually in use today. **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Equipment naming & asset tags ### Q12 — Asset-tag format (Medium) What is the company's **physical asset-tag format** for production equipment (e.g., the printed/engraved tags on machines)? Looking for: the format pattern, what each segment means, and whether the format differs across sites or equipment classes. **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q13 — Asset register / CMDB (Medium) Is there a **central asset register or CMDB** that lists production equipment by site, including asset tag, manufacturer, model, and location (building / line)? What is it called and who owns it? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q14 — Existing System Platform / Ignition naming (Medium) What naming convention is used for production equipment in **Aveva System Platform** (Galaxy object names) and **Ignition** (OPC UA tag paths) today? Are the conventions consistent across sites? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q15 — FANUC CNC count and locations (Medium) How many **FANUC CNC** machines do we have, broken down by site and building? (The FANUC CNC class is the pilot for the new equipment-class template work, so a count by location would shape rollout sequencing.) **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Existing standards ### Q16 — Existing UNS / ISA-95 standard (Low) Does the company have an existing **Unified Namespace (UNS)**, **ISA-95 hierarchy**, or **manufacturing data model standard** documented? If so, where is it published and who owns it? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ### Q17 — Enterprise shortname `zb` confirmation (Low) — ANSWERED Is there an existing **enterprise-level shortname or stock-ticker-like abbreviation** used in IT systems, document headers, or domain names that we should align our top-of-hierarchy `zb` segment with? (We're using `zb` today; want to confirm it matches an existing convention rather than introducing a new one.) **Response:** Confirmed: `zb` aligns with **Zimmer Biomet** as the company name (the OpenText instance is at `livelink.nam.zimmer.com`; documents are signed off by `@zimmerbiomet.com` email addresses; the corporate signature uses "ZIMMER BIOMET" as the brand). NYSE ticker is `ZBH` but `zb` is a clean two-letter shortname that matches both the legacy "Zimmer" and the post-merger "Zimmer Biomet" brand. **No change needed** — keep `zb` as the top-of-hierarchy enterprise segment. --- ### Q18 — Non-production equipment classes (Low) Is there a **non-production equipment class list** (compressors, chillers, HVAC, lab equipment) maintained at the corporate level, and which of these surfaces are typically connected to SCADA / monitoring at our manufacturing sites? **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Cross-site / shared resources ### Q19 — Shared resources across sites (Low) Are there any **shared production or test resources** (calibration labs, central inspection equipment, mobile test rigs) that are physically located at one site but logically serve multiple sites? If so, list them with their host site. **Response:** _(pending)_ --- ## Resolved ### 2026-04-30 — first pass against OpenText - **Q3 (TMT meaning)** — fully answered. `tmt` site shortname stays; long-form name "Zimmer Trabecular Metal Technology" or "Zimmer TMT". - **Q17 (`zb` enterprise shortname)** — confirmed. `zb` aligns with Zimmer Biomet brand; no change. - **Q1 (site list)** — substantially answered. 2014 Zimmer global real-estate inventory shows 12 distinct manufacturing sites (legacy Zimmer only); plus Biomet-acquired sites (Shannon, Galway, etc.) added in 2015. Reclassifications applied to `current-state.md`: Winterthur is a major site (251K sq ft), not a "smaller footprint" site; TMT is in NJ (3 addresses); Mercedita is separate from Ponce. - **Q6 (Warsaw West buildings)** — fully answered. Numbered buildings = legacy Zimmer = Warsaw West. `warsaw-west.json` updated with 6 production Areas: bldg-2, bldg-5, bldg-7, bldg-10, bldg-19, bldg-20. - **Q7 (Warsaw North buildings)** — fully answered. Lettered buildings = legacy Biomet = Warsaw North. `warsaw-north.json` created with 6 Areas: bldg-a through bldg-e and bldg-i (purposes pending walk; non-production to be removed). ### Open OpenText follow-ups - Source a **current-vintage** manufacturing-site directory (the Real Estate workbook is 2014 and pre-Biomet-merger) — likely lives in SAP / HR, not OpenText. - Optionally search OpenText for "Galway" and "Shannon" specifically since those Biomet-acquired sites are not in the 2014 real-estate workbook. - The `Global Site Pictures` (21 items) folder is unexplored — could yield labeled campus photos useful for verifying the West/North split visually.
