Collaboration Management System (CMS) User Experience Engagement Kick off

A Complimentary Webinar from the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group

15 June 2023
10:00 EDT | 07:00 PDT | 16:00 CEST

Plan to participate in the User Experience Engagement (UXE) to evaluate and provide feedback on the A&D PLM Collaboration Guidelines and a new CMS application

Collaboration among Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their product design and manufacturing engineering partners and suppliers is key to any major aerospace and defense (A&D) program. Currently, the exchange methods for long-term collaboration between OEMs and suppliers are independent and utilize exclusive environments and protocols, each unique and complex. Improving the consistency and efficiency of establishing and managing OEM-supplier collaboration can significantly improve cost, schedule, and quality across all phases of the product lifecycle.

A project team staffed by Aerospace Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) company members defined a new “Desired State” for OEM-supplier collaboration through the application of and adherence to a set of guidelines defined by the project team. The A&D PLM Collaboration Guidelines lay out eight standard and repeatable steps for establishing and managing the environment where OEMs and suppliers collaborate. To facilitate the adoption of the A&D PLM Collaboration Guidelines, the project team engaged with a software provider to develop an open-service Collaboration Management System (CMS) web application. The CMS encapsulates and provides navigation through the eight-step guidelines and offers the potential to improve OEM-supplier collaboration consistency and efficiency within the A&D community.

This presentation includes a description and brief demonstration of the CMS application and concludes with instructions for participation in the User Experience Engagement (UXE) to evaluate and provide feedback on the A&D PLM Collaboration Guidelines and the CMS application.
