2 Information Management Critical to Maximizing ROI Over the last several years, mergers in the aerospace & aviation industries have become commonplace. In addition, these industries are the most highly regulated and dataintensive in the world. Given this challenging marketplace, how can information be effectively accessed, integrated and managed to achieve your business goals? IHS offers integrated solutions to help manage information through all phases of your management process, providing valuable time and cost savings. We are the world leader in providing technical standards, specifications, regulatory and advisory information, validated design methods, logistics and parts information. IHS can deliver a custom solution that will best fit your organization s information requirements. Maximize Return on Investment with an IHS Solution IHS provides the most current and relevant information at your fingertips for: Reducing the risk of errors and redesign costs Controlling design expenses with less need for physical prototypes Meeting design review deadlines Reducing maintenance turnaround time Curtailing maintenance and repair costs Avoiding fines for noncompliance with regulations Saving time spent locating parts and suppliers Information Solutions for the Aerospace and Aviation Industries For over 40 years, IHS has collected, organized, indexed and distributed engineering information for technical professionals. We now serve over 55,000 customers in more than 90 countries.

3 Proactive Systems Engineering ROI There is an optimum amount of time you spend throughout your program activities in order to achieve the best return for the time you invested. IHS can help you streamline your workflow processes with a single source to help you manage required information more easily and efficiently. Optimum TIME Not enough time spent - errors - rework or redesign - increased costs Too much time spent - no further gains - product delays - loss of competitive edge - increased costs Difficulty of identifying a problem Cost of changing a design Design Development Release Phase Phase Phase The cost of redesign and failure to meet timelines grows exponentially as a project progresses. The earlier in a project a design error is discovered, the easier and less costly it is to correct or to make adjustments. IHS has the information and tools to significantly reduce the number of redesigns and delays in product releases.

4 Critical Information for All Phases IHS can provide a comprehensive information solution for every phase of your workflow process. Save time, curtail costs and increase efficiency with IHS products and services related to the aerospace and aviation industry including aviation regulations, government/non-government standards, engineering design methods, supplier catalogs, parts information, integrated information solutions and more. Engineering & Manufacturing Process Collaboration among Program Management, Research & Development and Design is critical fo Program Management The more time saved at the beginning, the more time that can be dedicated to other phases of the workflow process. Having immediate access to relevant information and tools will help efficiently identify the market needs or opportunities and formulate a Statement of Work (SOW), a Statement of Requirements (SOR) and Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) for a new project. Develop SOW Develop SOR Project Timelines A S H C E U Research & Development Determining the feasibility of the project based on identified needs and issues, requires accurate information from reliable sources.
