The PTC Product Development System solving the Unique challenges of the a&d program Lifecycle Integrated product data Management Integrated product data management is a holistic approach to the challenge of managing the artifacts of the product development process, often across a globally dispersed, multidisciplinary network of partners and suppliers. Here, the digital product definition (requirements, software, mechanical and electrical) is integrated as a single entity either as a product structure or bill of material (BOM). PTC’s Product Development System (PDS) provides the process and technology foundation to help A&D companies gain control of disjointed and fragmented inter-site and inter-disciplinary design and development programs. The PDS allows electrical, mechanical, and software design teams to easily identify cross-discipline issues, capture dependencies, and enable design validation early in the design phase, preventing many late-stage changes and quality issues. supported processes: • Detailed Design • Verification and Validation • Change and Configuration Management Integrated digital environments Responding to dynamic security considerations and tightening budgets, government agencies worldwide are demanding more aggressive schedules and lower costs without compromising ever-increasing product and program performance. PTC’s PDS solves these challenges via Integrated Digital Environments (IDEs), which provide a boundary-less environment where all program and product information is accessible to appropriately cleared personnel across the enterprise and supply chain. supported processes: • Program Management • Requirements Capture and Management • Change and Configuration Management • Design Outsourcing Key capabilities and Benefits: • Collaboration among all program disciplines via secure, controlled, Key capabilities and Benefits: • Integrating and synchronizing mechanical, electrical, and software and shared access to program and product information for acquisition and logistics • Integration of multiple business systems and enterprise information design in a single enterprise system • Improving cross-discipline collaboration, resulting in higher quality repositories • Lifecycle management of program and product development infor- products and fewer late-stage changes • Identifying interdependencies and interrelationships between mation and processes design disciplines during the early design phase to avoid costly late-stage rework NASA Windchill – Integrated Collaborative Environment (ICE) Currently used as the authoritative system for the Vision for Space Exploration.

Yesterday’s conventional ‘supply chain’ has been replaced with collaborative supply ‘networks’–teams of companies collaborating on a global basis. Design partners beyond the firewall and national boundaries need to be securely integrated, and have real-time access to accurate design information while protecting intellectual property. The unique complexity of A & D product development processes and products requires advanced tools to meet the collaboration challenge. supported processes: • Program Management • System Design • Requirements Capture and Management • Change and Configuration Management • Design Outsourcing advanced configuration Management A & D program information is often disconnected and spread across many organizations, making configuration management a laborious, error-prone, and time-intensive process. With rigorous traceability demands and government contracting requirements, A & D product development is truly unique – and extremely complex. Advanced configuration management is needed to track the detailed evolution of a product’s definition throughout the full lifecycle. Related initiatives, such as Integrated Product Data Management and Secure Collaboration, are predicated on a foundation of robust and thorough configuration management, which leverages interrelationships to ensure changes are implemented correctly and securely. Industry leaders like Airbus, Boeing and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries deploy PTC’s Windchill technology to manage the manifestation and transformation of BOMs over the product lifecycle. supported processes: • Change and Configuration Management • Variant Design and Generation • Manufacturing Process Management Key capabilities and Benefits: • Improving innovation and cycle time by sharing the latest information across globally dispersed teams, external partners and customers • Protecting intellectual property through secure collaboration with Key capabilities and Benefits: • Managing multiple design options and variants in a single outsource partners • Managing design data internally and across multiple companies unified BOM • Managing BOM views derived from a single source (As Designed/ and geographies with one system, thus reducing IT complexity and cost while improving operational performance • Providing access control at the file/object level utilizing process As Planned/As Built/As Supported) over the full product lifecycle • Complying with configuration management standards, such as and technology to satisfy ITAR and international export control requirements “The army’s future combat systems program is perhaps the most challenging and complex acquisition program ever undertaken. as such, it is going to take a different way of acquisition business to accomplish this task. one of the tools this program is using is the concept of advanced collaborative environment (ace). The ace is our web-enabled, netcentric environment which we use for collaborating and sharing our program information.

Design Partner Engineering Project Mgt. Design Partner Internal Contributors External Contributors program and project Management In Aerospace & Defense, all product development activities occur in the context of a ‘program’ and/or a ‘project’. That’s why it’s a clear advantage to have a single, integral and interoperable environment where interrelated product data and program/project artifacts can be stored, secured and shared. The challenge is to provide a process capability and technology solution that can manage project and program management data and associate them directly to the product development process. supported processes: • Program Management Product designs and associated technical information can be developed and updated concurrently, so that upstream and downstream users can achieve faster time-to-market.

But a company’s ability to execute against these business objectives and drive corporate value is dependent upon their process proficiency in product development. Attention is now being focused on the dramatic cost and innovation improvements available in up-front product development. Due to the pressure of getting products to market faster, companies need to evaluate and redesign processes to most effectively identify problems up front to avoid late-stage changes that delay a product’s market launch, increase costs and diminish product quality. Cross-discipline issues, such as MCAD-ECAD concurrent engineering, or hardware-software integration, are the key drivers of many late-stage change issues. Solving these issues can be achieved by optimizing product development processes, particularly by integrating data and by securely sharing relevant content with global partners at every stage of the product lifecycle. The fact is, the paradigm has changed; companies that re-engineer and optimize their product development processes will become truly differentiated and will realize exceptional value. The key question: where do you begin to optimize your processes? pTc Value roadmap charts the course Based on decades of experience and an unparalleled body of intellectually property, PTC has developed the PTC Value Roadmap to help customers identify and realize value from PLM.
