Business process accelerator is designed to help
aerospace designers ensure compliance with OEMs, suppliers and
industry standards.
Dassault Systèmes yesterday announced the availability
of Aerospace Supplier Collaborative Hub (ASCH), a business process
accelerator (BPA) for aerospace risk-sharing partners and suppliers
who have program design responsibilities. According to the company,
ASCH's mapped business processes help designers to efficiently ensure
compliance throughout the supply chain and with industry standards,
quickening the approval process and ultimately speeding time to
market. The BPA is based on ENOVIA SmarTeam's collaborative product
data management platform and embedded within CATIA PLM Express,
Dassault's virtual design solution.
"Nowadays, building an aircraft is more complex than ever. OEMs are
taking on the role of program integrator and outsourcing large
percentages of design work to risk-sharing partners and high-tier
suppliers," said Bruno Latchague, executive vice-president, PLM
business transformation, Dassault Systèmes. "At the same time, the
expected timeframe from conception to first flight has shrunk from
eight to ten years to four to six. Aerospace Supplier Collaborative
Hub makes this possible as the backbone for all stakeholders to work
in a truly collaborative environment."
"Aerospace Supplier Collaborative Hub provides middle players a
collaborative infrastructure, allowing them to work smart, building
loyalty with OEMs, and freeing bandwidth to expand business,"
explained Stephen Shibel, director of aerospace industry solutions,
Dassault Systèmes. "With tight program deadlines, designers must be
able to launch the design process in a format that seamlessly
communicates with OEMs' systems and can pull down the right component
information from master 3D data sets. This avoids designers
integrating out-of-date or no-longer-compliant parts and having to
make unnecessary reworks."
