Airbus supply-chain & delivery model is evolving from a “Built-to-Print” model to an “Integrator” model with an RSP strategy

Airbus

System Integrator

Airbus as an A/C integrator.

Focus on overall A/C architecture and requirements

for structure, systems & cabin.

+70% of all A/C parts are developed by suppliers.

Sourcing of major components from a network of

D&B risk sharing partners (“extended enterprise”)

High degree of vertical integration.

Development responsibility mainly on Airbus.

Local sourcing of BtP packages in an

“extended workbench” approach.


PLM Information System “Ten years of evolution”

What is Mixed (Augmented) Reality?


Page 16

“Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or an indirect view

of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are

augmented by computer-generated sensory input.”

What

does it

mean

?

source: Wikipedia

What

is it

for

(us)

?

Bring the Digital Mock Up into the aircraft production environment, enabling us to compare the manufactured with the designed product.

Support, enhance and sustain production activities, making a bridge between Engineering and Manufacturing.

Improve product quality while reducing costs & lead time.

New architecture Backbones and Right use of COTS


Business

Driven

organisation

A Backbone is a target technical solution to implement functionalities in a way to ensure harmonization,

cross Program convergence, reusability and future upgrade at limited cost.

Based on the “Right use of COTS” policy, new architecture will support all PDM/CM processes:

PDM Airbus Single and Simplified (PASS) – is a Windchill based PDM with only agreed customization

Airbus PDM Services (APS) – is an Oracle / java based solution to support Airbus specific processes

As a main aspect of the new partnership setup to strengthen PTC/Airbus collaboration :

Support PTC’s “Product/Market Fit” by allowing valuable competitive differentiators retrofit in Core Product

Allow Airbus to anticipate Major Technical Changes and get a visibility on forecasted OOTB new Functionalities

cost

• Reminder ….

• Our Product platform last more

than 40 years

• Includes the Supply Chain

• Impacts for PLM Software

• Product cycle times have to

be longer

• Migration has to be at “zero

cost”

Conclusion

Summary & conclusion

• Full value of PLM comes through integration across disciplines

and through covering the complete life cycle of products

• Airbus don’t believe in a monolithic system

• Impossible to align the product range on one system

• Airbus don’t want a monolithic system

• To high dependency on one Vendor

• Need to be able to use best-of-bread technology


Page 28

Openness & Standards are the key to success

“Compete with content not interfaces & data formats”


This is what it is all about …..
