Managing your product throughout its lifecycle engages many domain specific teams. When those teams are disconnected or unable to get product data they fall into what we call the “PLM Underground” – using uncontrolled home grown tools to perform duties. Vincent Soumier from Airbus describes this as the “excel syndrome.” The "excel syndrome" causes loss of data, a lack of version control and overall security for your document; something Aras PLM can remedy.
Due to using a GreenHouse environment to empower domain teams, Airbus has created a successful incubator environment to create new data driven applications within Product Lifecycle Management. The GreenHouse ensures all of their product development decisions are made using the most recent configuration controlled data.
Using Aras PLM, Airbus created an agile development platform therefore enabling rapid prototyping of applications and tools within their GreenHouse.
Hear how Airbus created a project pipeline that leveraged Aras agile development capabilities and upgraded their process with The GreenHouse. (1:13)
Application Success WITH ARAS PLM
Together with Aras, Airbus has currently been successful completing three applications, Test Information Management (TIM,) Hatrack and MOD Validity Extension.The TIM application is the first application developed using Aras. TIM is a structural test management system resulting in a successful upgrade.
The second successful application developed is Hatrack. Created to manage overhead storage compartments, Hatrack’s biggest challenge was to answer business needs in an agile way. The application, delivered in 8 months, became a major breakthrough for Airbus and as a result convinced the cabin business to do more with Aras.
The third application developed using Aras is, MOD Validity Extension. This application is a configuration management tool with a follow up to modification. Again Airbus received positive feedback within the business and completed the application with success.
In the video, you will gain an overall understanding of the project pipeline and center of competence within the Airbus GreenHouse.
Consequently, with the success of these applications, the Greenhouse gains Airbus more demand from the business using Aras PLM.
