Our solution provides a foundation for the creation, collaboration, delivery and update of 3D technical data packages in a secure and compliant digital environment.
Aerospace and defense customers require the highest levels of performance, quality and reliability, and products must adhere to the stringent contract and regulatory requirements. The OEMs must achieve all this while interacting with a global design and manufacturing supply chain involved in all aspects of business, including purchasing, engineering, compliance, quality and manufacturing. This poses significant design and collaboration challenges that the OEMs must solve, while also being under great pressure to get products to market faster.
Our solution provides a digital thread approach to managing interactions with suppliers and partners, whether they are inside or outside of our PLM environment. It allows OEMs to coordinate processes and manage information, both internal and external, across all stages of the product lifecycle. Supplier information can be managed in context with the overall facility structure to provide holistic views of a facility or operation. These tools enable early supplier involvement in product development and provide visibility into accurate supplier information across departments.
Our reliable supplier analytics lead to better decisions about purchased components, increased productivity, and reduced risk of non-compliance.
Explore the key areas of this solution.
Automate supplier declaration data processes via a secure supplier web portal. Aggregate declaration data from suppliers to the product structure.
Manage engineering BOM definitions - from simple CAD structures to complex product definitions - across globally distributed design teams. Create multiple product configurations using multi-CAD design data stored anywhere.
Initiate an exchange process with suppliers that includes information such as CAD designs, specifications and JT files leveraging a secure web portal.
Understand cost drivers and supply chain impact early. Enable efficient bidding, supplier categories, controlled processes for managing events, automatic tracking and communication, detailed cost breakdowns, bid analysis and award nominations.
Establish closed-loop processes with suppliers, including collaboration with those outside your PLM environment. Provide an intuitive web portal for suppliers for collaboration and program management.
Authorize and securely collaborate across sites with suppliers. Enable them to participate in OEM’s PLM processes, and only work with data they are granted access to.
Plan and execute supplier projects within the context of an overall program. Gain visibility into and traceability of supplier deliverables to reduce cycle times and shorten time-to-market.
Manage suppliers and their data, reporting and supplied parts in your PLM environment. Aggregate supplied parts into the product structure of the facility or operation.
