Development of a highly integrated large scale product requires a great deal of coordination across various organizations as the size, shape, work statement, spatial coordination, and initial design occurs. Coordination is critical in an environment of compressed schedules and concurrent engineering practices. This presentation covers configuration change management of the Floor Beam, as the aircraft design develops from Aero through creation of lofts, Master Geometry definition, authoring of interface control models, spatial allocation, and managing part instances for each airplane unit. Emphasis will be on product development over time, and how change is managed using the DS suite of tools.

This presentation will discuss how the Configuration and Change Management tools within ENOVIA LCA complement the lifecycle of the Floor Beam  part.  Discussion will focus on configuration and change management capabilities that span the entire product lifecycle, from Actions to Change Orders (COs).  These tools are designed ensure that the change processes are tightly integrated with product definition and to help ensure users that changes to products and related production processes are properly authorized, validated and tracked throughout the lifecycle.

During the design, development, certification, and support of a new aircraft, a great deal of analysis data is generated. The analysis covers many different aspects of the design, fabrication, and lifecycle and is developed by many organizations for a verity of reasons. This needs to be kept, cataloged, approved, and attributed so that is available for the life of the airplane. In the case of the 747, that’s 40 years. This presentation discusses how Boeing has addressed those issues using a Floor Beam as an example, and ENOVIA as a storage medium and to link the design and analysis.

Manufacturing Engineering performs producibility analysis of engineering designs, communicates recommendations, and documents agreements to update the product and process structure with an integrated change process with Design Engineering. The Floor Beam assembly and installation will be used as an example. After product definition release, Manufacturing Engineers will perform Installation level planning by assigning Product Definition (consuming parts) to Installation Plans in the build sequence. Partner ME’s at the BOM level only, creating the proper End Items. Downstream and Final Assembly ME’s consume these End Items and complete the engineering intent.

Building parts, Installing them, Conforming and Disposition of errors are part of any manufacturing process. This presentation addresses Boeing use of the V5 Tools to view engineering and manufacturing intent of the Floor Beam product definition. Engineering intent can include FT&A, Captures, as well as Engineering Notes defined in ENOVIA/CATIA. Manufacturing intent includes Work Instructions that define the manufacturing steps to perform during build and installation. This information is critical to the Conformity Process to ensure the parts/assemblies are built and installed correctly. This presentation covers how the conformity process is accomplished along with how to disposition a repair area.

ENOVIA and DELMIA manage data in relational design. One of the challenges faced by the Boeing Company has been to extract and distribute files to partners and suppliers while maintaining that relational design. To illustrate the complexity of the release, packaging and distribution processes, this presentation will walk through the release and distribution processes for a 787 floor beam

Stone tablets to interactive 3D models the preservation of information has been important part of us since mankind could write. Mankind has used many forms of media to preserve history and important information and over time has replaced the medium on which it was stored due to its own obsolescence. We still face that same problem today the main difference being that we replace the medium much faster as the technological obsolescence boundaries diminish at a more accelerated rate. This presentation will show how the Floor Beam product definition will be preserved throughout the lifecycle of the airplane product.
