5 Key Takeaways What you should remember l A&D Products are complex and have a long lifecycle; the PLM solutions that support A&D products are also complex but have a comparatively short life; as a result, one or more refreshes of the PLM solution during a program s lifecycle is unavoidable and the associated cost and risk of data loss are high l Heavy customization and numerous and complex integrations are key drivers of the cost of technology refresh, and proprietary data formats to support advanced features increase the risk of product data loss l The A&D PLM Action Group research program has develop requirements to help solution providers address obsolescence issues l The Group has distributed a white paper for solution provider comment incorporating their feedback for an Oct 2017 release Copyright 2017 by CIMdata, Inc. 9 About the Research Sponsors Facilitating cooperation within the industry l Founded in 2014 l Members PLM ACTION GROUP l l An association of aerospace OEMs and aircraft engine providers within CIMdata s globally recognized PLM Community Program, which functions as a PLM advocacy group to: Set the direction for the aerospace & defense industry on PLM- related topics that matter to members (including promoting, not duplicating, the work of standards bodies) Promote common industry PLM processes and practices Define requirements for common interest PLM- related capabilities Communicate with a unified voice to PLM solution providers Sponsor collaborative PLM research on prioritized industry and technology topics CIMdata administers Group operations, coordinates research, and manages the progression of policy formulation Copyright 2017 by CIMdata, Inc. 10 Page 5

6 Research Report Out Agenda Introduction Objectives Challenges Desired State Compliance Requirements 11 Introduction Obsolescence Management Our Goal Minimize the pain associated with managing and reusing data in our long lifecycle products How to reach it? Provide a set of requirements to PLM Solution Providers 12 Page 6

7 Context Scale and complexity of A&D programs Product Development between 5 to 10 years Hundreds of software applications from many solution providers used to create and maintain the data Product Support can span 30 to 100 years Hundreds of suppliers Thousands of data creators Tens of thousands of data consumers Across a global footprint All this needs to be sustained over decades! 13 Context Scale and complexity of product data Product, manufacturing & service documentation Multiple views of configuration As- Specified / As- Designed As- Planned / As- Manufactured As- Delivered / As- Maintained Millions of lines of software code Hundreds of thousands of unique physical components Regulatory certification data Over a million component instances Complex relationships between data elements Change management data All this needs to be sustained over decades! 14 Page 7

8 Data Retention Through Program Life Challenge 1 Issues Data lifespan between 30 and 50 years Large volume of data implies high cost of upgrade Consequences Hard to leverage IT technology improvements Risk of out- dated processes & user interfaces Hard to leverage legacy data 15 PLM Platform Generational Changes Challenge 2 Issues Supplier platform generation changes Supplier goes out of business (rare!) Consequences New projects for customization, interfaces, and data migration Business training, learning curve, lower productivity Loss of data assets Increase of investment on legacy solutions, increasing cost of upgrade 16 Page 8
