2 WORKING PROCESS 1 When a new aircraft or satellite launcher project is launched, SABCA receives technical specifications to develop and produce structural parts or actuators.

8 2 WORKING PROCESS 1 When a new aircraft or satellite launcher project is launched, SABCA receives technical specifications to develop and produce structural parts or actuators. Within these specifications, working methods, development, engineering or design tools and communication are clearly defined and fixed by the customer 3 Each customer has his own working environment, and we have to create a new working configuration for each program. The main engineering development tool is a 3D digital mock-up like CATIA system and shared by all contributors

Within these specifications, working methods, development, engineering or design tools and communication are clearly defined and fixed by

9 WORKING PROCESS 1 During the preliminary phase Preliminary design The project is divided into phases with the passage of milestones. Detail design A team of SABCA engineers, typically 20 persons, located in the client's offices work in an integrated way with the customer's network: - Major trader off - Learning product method & Tools - Personal contact

10 Working process Preliminar y design 2 During the detail design phase Work continues on our premises. At this time the design & development office has 2 customers: The project is divided into phases with the passage of milestones. Detail design The end customer needs an up to date definition to insure concurrent engineering between the different development & design teams. The manufacturing plant. Testing Certification phase Manufacturing For both of these customers receiving constantly updated informations is critical. Following illustrations show the volume and variety of shared information.

16 CONCLUSION The products and development we conduct, requires this way of working. Advantages: - A significant time saving by parallel working among several teams - A high quality final product - Active link with our manufacturing throughout the complete aircraft s development process. However - Large financial and human investment is necessary - A solid organisation, tools and well-tried methodologies are essential for success.

product - Active link with our manufacturing throughout the complete aircraft s development process.
