The Manufacturing Standards Explorer is where manufacturing standard business objects are created and managed.

Windchill MPMLink Explorers are where manufacturing objects are viewed, modified and organized. Each Windchill MPMLink Explorer consists of a multi-pane panel, which displays all Windchill MPMLink objects. The left-side navigation panes displays manufacturing structures (such as process plans, resources and standards) in a tree table. The right-side panels display various explorer specific tabs that can be used to view and configure manufacturing objects. You can perform tasks on plans selected in the navigation pane by selecting from the menus or icons at the top of the window. For more information about tabs, see About Task Tabs.
