    • New - Manufacturing Engineering for Collaborative Development: Problem Statement & Go Forward Plan

      The Aerospace and Defense (A&D) industry requires zero-defect standards, yet gaps in the industrial system lifecycle lead to inefficiencies, budget overruns, and program issues across a shared supply chain. Solving these problems requires a holistic strategy built on integrated processes, digital infrastructure, and end-to-end collaboration. To address these challenges, the A&D PLM Action Group’s ME4CoDev working group—comprising 18 experts from 13 companies—has defined a common view of these operational gaps (Phase 1) to establish a foundation for a future strategic roadmap toward operational excellence.
