7 Starting Point: Analysis Forschungszentrum Informatik (Karlsruhe), Vector Consulting and Siemens IT Services were commissioned to perform a study on: the potential of PLM-Solutions available on the market their possible impact on harmonizing processes and tools across sites achievable benefits based on the current state of affairs Resulting PLM focus areas and recommendations: Configuration Management 4. Engineering Processes Design 7. EDM Tool Integration 2. Change Management 5. Engineering Process Implementation 8. Manufacturing and Service Integration 3. CAD Tool Harmonization 6. Document Flow 9. Partner Collaboration Selected system: SAP PLM 7

8 Launch of the PLM Introduction Mission: By introducing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) at Diehl Aerospace all relevant product information as well as information pertaining to their generation and use will be kept in a central data repository throughout the entire product lifecycle. This will ensure that the correct information is made available where it is needed exactly when it is needed. Goals: Improve the efficiency within the company, specifically of the NPI process. Strengthen process assurance and subsequently minimize costly deviations. Reduce tool & process support cost and provide greater flexibility in resource allocation to projects across sites. Facilitate an effective partner management

22 Configuration Management Change processes Initial situation and goal Initial situation The change processes are handled different at each location. The processes are normally paper based. Long duration cycles. Serial process. Goals To create, to monitor an to realize the changes centralized and paperless in SAP. Reduce the cycle time to 50% Improve the inventories significant parallel process. PLM BOM Engineering Change Request CAD Drawing Layout 22
