After decades of individual action, a key group of aerospace and defense (A&D) companies decided their common PLM pain points could best be remediated through joint action. Examples include obsolescence management (i.e., mitigating the cost of technology refresh and the risk of data loss), design chain and supply chain collaboration, the flow of digital product definition from development to manufacture to service, and managing the multiple views of product configuration. These companies came together not to stifle competition and innovation but, on the contrary, to shift their spend profiles, increasing resources available for innovation by reducing redundant spend on common problems. And to exercise the power of speaking to the PLM solution providers with a single voice.
Over the years, the A&D PLM Action Group has funded and staffed multiple project workstreams resulting in the publication of research reports, direction statements, position papers, and, most recently, the report on a yearlong collaborative effort with leading PLM solution providers to benchmark the capability of commercially available technology to satisfy multiple-view bill of materials requirements. These publications have been released to the public and have been downloaded by the thousands via the Group’s website.
Do PLM user companies in other industries experience similar frustrations, and would the cooperative approach adopted by these A&D companies be an appropriate remedy? This webinar begins with a review of the A&D PLM Action Group’s mission and operational model. We then trace the evolution of the Group’s project workstreams, review the results achieved to date, and look to the future. We will close with a guide for self-assessment of whether a similar cooperative approach would work in your industry and suggested steps to follow if you have an interest.
PLM program and project managers, PLM program planners, product engineering process and tools decision-makers, manufacturing engineering process and tools decision-makers, service engineering process and tools decision-makers, corporate strategic planners, corporate IT planners, PLM software and service providers, and anyone interested in learning more about this topic.
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
The Guide is designed to help potential PLM users evaluate the applicability and payoffs of PLM in their enterprise, and to help existing users of PLM monitor the impact it is having on their product programs.
