Aerospace and Defense Digital Thread
Aerospace program management
Achieve program planning and execution excellence with a model-based approach to aerospace program management. Integrate cost, schedule, risks and technical requirements into a fully planned, resourced and budgeted program management solution to ensure long-term success.
Why is aerospace program management vital to success?
Cost overruns and schedule delays directly impact the bottom line for aerospace and defense organizations. Establishing a digital thread for program management can help ensure consistent program planning and execution excellence. By taking a model-based approach to aerospace project management, organizations can mitigate risks, avoid overruns and stipulate technical and sustainability requirements.
Realize aerospace project management excellence
A traceable chain of data ensures faster decision-making, a model-based approach creates seamless, secure collaboration and integrated test data reduces the impact of change and enables continuous improvements. Explore our solution paths to take your aerospace program management to the next level:
To manage programs efficiently, you need to base decisions on data rather than assumptions. This requires setting up a trustworthy traceable chain of data. Having a single view of the acquisition process and program data in context of the statement of need and requirements enables fast and accurate decision-making. A traceable chain data helps you meet key program objectives, such as crafting the mission needs statement, identifying capabilities critical to program success, integrating all program requirements and collaborating with OEMs and suppliers across the supply chain. Learn more about establishing a traceable chain of data.
Once a traceable chain of data is in place, you need to enable seamless, secure collaboration among all internal and external program stakeholders, including defense agencies, OEMs and suppliers. A model-based approach to program acquisition and pursuit helps provide the most current configuration data across all stakeholders. It also enables you to detect and address potential issues early, continuously iterate and more effectively collaborate on designs. Learn more about a model-based approach to program acquisition and pursuit.
Reduce the impact of change by integrating test evaluation data. Tie test data back to the original program requirements and make it available during the acquisition process. Template reuse, configuration control and access to test configuration reduce the impact of change and speed up delivery of assets, increasing process efficiencies and more expedient certification.
