Aerospace and Defense

Smarter decisions, better products The aerospace industry is expected to experience continued growth in most segments for the foreseeable future. Commercial airlines continue to purchase new aircraft to lower the cost-per-seat-mile cost.

aerospace1The challenge today, whether it’s a commercial program or a government contract, is to deliver a product that meets all the technical and performance require¬ments at cost and on schedule. This challenges OEMs and their suppliers to continuously transform their extended supply chains to optimize total productivity while maintaining a highly dynamic and virtual work force.

With this in mind, the unique value of Siemens PLM Software is the ability to:

  • Fully integrate technical, performance, cost and schedule requirements into a single work pack with full traceability to customer requirements throughout the entire lifecycle – concept to retirement
  • Plan and execute to the plan, with full configuration management of not only designs and documents but all program management artifacts
  • Virtually “verify” technical, production and in-service performance prior to committing to hardware
  • Seamlessly and securely share knowledge and best practices across a total value chain
  • Capture best practices and lessons learned that can be leveraged to create new and better product families
  • Establish a single master source of all data and 3D images that can be used to define today’s most complex aerospace platforms and synchronize a global virtual network of designers, developers, manufacturing engineers, production specialists and service/support teams
