Collaboration among Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their product design and manufacturing engineering partners and suppliers is a key aspect of any major aerospace and defense (A&D) program execution. Process analysis by the A&D PLM Action Group (AD PAG) project team has shown that many different data formats, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software systems, and enabling infrastructure technologies exist across the OEMs and their supply base. This paper explores the need to enable frictionless operation between OEMs and their suppliers.
