Rick Zuray has been with the Boeing Company for 28 years with the majority of those years in the CAD/CAM/CAI and IT arena. For the past 17 years Rick has been involved in the long term archival and retrieval of digital product and technical data, product lifecycle management, data interoperability, data exchange methodologies, and preserving the integrity of those data entities. Rick is a Technical Principal and co-leads the LOTAR International consortium which is made up of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) AeroSpace & Defense Industries Association of Europe -Standardization (ASD-Stan), PDES, Inc., and ProSTEP iViP. This working group is writing a series of International Aerospace Standards designed to provide the capability to store, manage, exchange, and distribute digital product and technical information, including 3D CAD, Product & ManufacturingInformation (PMI), Composite, and PDM/PLM data, in a standard neutral form that can be read and reused throughout its lifecycle, independent of changes in the IT application environment originally used to create it. The multi-part standard covers both the information content and the processes required to ingest, store, administer, manage, and access the information.
The Guide is designed to help potential PLM users evaluate the applicability and payoffs of PLM in their enterprise, and to help existing users of PLM monitor the impact it is having on their product programs.
