Each project will involve a different configuration
The ‘Virtual Enterprise’
Different partners use different systems

Eurofighter PDM Data ExchangeThe Challenge
• Partners use different PDM systems– ProductManager (BAE SYSTEMS,
Alenia), – MetaPhase (EADS-Germany)– Optegra (EADS-CASA)
• Exchange required to support– Configuration management– Product Structure release– Design/Build Standard exchange– Links to electrics– Exchange of modifications
![Page 5: Affordable Air Dominance PLM for the Eurofighter Typhoonproceedings.ndia.org/3AF6/Howard_Mason_2.pdfHoward Mason IT and eBusiness BAE SYSTEMS ... – Elimination of manual BoM extraction](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af70b907f8b9a4d4d9138c0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Requirements
• Manage Product Data using a PDM system
• Support Collaborative Engineering in a Partnership
• Deploy a solution reusable across projects

Eurofighter PDM Options
• Each company runs many projects
• Common downstream infrastructure
• Any proposal to all use the same PDM system is:
•NOT AN OPTION
![Page 14: Affordable Air Dominance PLM for the Eurofighter Typhoonproceedings.ndia.org/3AF6/Howard_Mason_2.pdfHoward Mason IT and eBusiness BAE SYSTEMS ... – Elimination of manual BoM extraction](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af70b907f8b9a4d4d9138c0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Data exchange options
• Use our own data exchange format– will not carry over to the next aircraft programme– significant work in defining the data exchange
format– need a translator for every exchange pairing
• Aerospace industry common messaging (AECMA)– does not cover scope of data– European not International standard
![Page 15: Affordable Air Dominance PLM for the Eurofighter Typhoonproceedings.ndia.org/3AF6/Howard_Mason_2.pdfHoward Mason IT and eBusiness BAE SYSTEMS ... – Elimination of manual BoM extraction](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022514/5af70b907f8b9a4d4d9138c0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Strategy
• A single technical solution for all uses
• Reduce costs for all of our virtual enterprises
• Use of standards
• International acceptance

Challenges
• PDM Schema was State of the Art – PDES, inc & ProSTEP still working on interpretation
• Increasing Vendor support– BAE SYSTEMS needed new skills– Scarce resource
• Exchange exposes quality of process & product data
• Process ownership
• Deployment challenges– New tools - Enovia*PM – API limitations– Changes to process

Building on success
• Supply chain– only exchanged PDM data at a partner level
• CAD– Exchange of solid models for manufacturing
• Technical Packaging– packaging up data to send to suppliers
• Analysis– Structural analysis etc.
