Slide 3 Agenda / Overview. 1 OEM & supplier ecosphere 2 Overview of challenges 2 IT challenges 3 Process challenges 4 IT solutions 5 Process solutions 6 Example for an OEM supplier environment bases on Aras Innovator 7 Discussion & Questions
Slide 4 OEM & Supplier Ecosphere. OEM Supplier for Moduls (front of car, gearbox, airplane kitchen) Production Retail Parts (standard parts) Supplier Engineering only (engineering center) Recycling Engineering and production responsible for components OEMs Development partner Production planning Complete product outsourcing of a complete product IT Design center OEM Prototyping

Slide 7 IT Challenges. Options for collaboration Environment Online connection within supplier ecosphere (unfortunately does not work) Same PLM platform and identical data model and processes Online with different copies of database Offline Definite need for a synchronization Identical data model is a prerequisite Data exchange immense amount of data has to be managed every day Synchronization between sites. IP Protection is possible (exchange only what OEM, supplier needs) Experiences: Depending on your need you normally need all types of collaboration types (Online, online copy, offline) Within an environment there is always a need to exchange data with offline capabilities.

IT Challenges. Global view Online PLM access: Works, but dependent on env. D Online PLM access: Easy to connect. T D Online PLM access: Could work, very limited D Experiences: Green: connect online Yellow and Red: Better use own installation. D Copyright 2012 Aras. All Rights Reserved. Slide 12
Process challenges. Typical scenario 3 Each OEM delivers different data exchange package 1 OEM PLM Backbone from different IT service providers, and with different versions 2 General conditions: Large amount of data. Content dependent on project phase. Content has to be checked (quality). 4 Content of data exchange package is defined. Own PLM strategy with flexible toolset with best value for supplier Supplier Copyright 2012 Aras. All Rights Reserved. Slide 13

Slide 15 Conclusion. IT Challenges Worldwide challenges (build your own ecosphere). Handle with different OEMs and toolsets. Changes within IT Toolset of OEM. Process Challenges Multi OEM handling. Different content of data exchange packages. Documentation of data exchange (what is new, changes within toolset, ) Supplier needs a simple and flexible solution to fulfill the requirements of all OEM s and be able to keep own processes.
Slide 16 Example environment. T-Systems Aerospace Supplier Package powered by Aras Innovator Four Software Components within one package. Basic Aras Innovator. Engineering configuration management. Data exchange toolset. CAD Integration. Every component is pre-customized and optimized for aerospace suppliers.
