Session 1A2 - Keynote Presentations
Senior Engineering IT Executives from Ford, Honda R&D, and Nissan Motors
will present their company's progress, successes and continuing challenges
in deploying and integrating PLM.
SPEAKERS
Toshikazu Kishimoto, General Manager, Engineering IS Department, Global IS Division, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
Hideyuki Tanaka, Manager, Computer Integrated Systems, Tochigi R&D Center, Honda R&D Company
Richard Riff, Henry Ford Technical Fellow, Virtual Product Creation & PLM, Ford Motor Company
Mr. Toshikazu Kishimoto, Mr. Hideyuki Tanaka and Dr. Richard Riff will
review the systems and processes they have put in place to accelerate
bringing to market innovative new vehicles while at the same time containing
costs and improving product quality. Remaining competitive in the automotive
industry demands that large numbers of such vehicles be brought to market
every model year. As many in the industry have found, this cannot be
achieved using traditional methods. Ford, Nissan and Honda have integrated
and deployed the most modern CAD, CAE, PDM and BOM systems in order to
achieve their business goals, and are continually upgrading them. As the
automotive business has become more globally integrated, the complexity of
these systems has grown and so have the challenges of implementation and
deployment.
These presentations will help you understand the challenges of large-scale,
global PLM deployments and the benefits they bring, both at the enterprise
level and the departmental level. It will provide all those deploying PLM in
their company important real-world examples of what can be achieved, the
time it takes, an indication of cost, and how well it's working. |

it going forward.
SPEAKERS
Bernard Charlès, President & CEO, Dassault Systèmes
William Weyand, Chairman of the Board & CEO, MSC.Software

Session 1P1 - VPD: Managing CAE Processes and Data for Integration into Mainstream PLM
So far, correlating CAD and CAE information and deploying it to all
interested parties while maintaining version control has been a challenge
for which there have not been good solutions. This session will highlight
the nature of these challenges from the user standpoint, and offer solutions
and details of successes in managing collaborative VPD in-house, as well as
managing outsourced VPD.

Session 1P2 - PLM Implementation Best Practices
This session focuses on two areas of PLM implementation:
1. The implementation of a system that efficiently and cost-effectively
publishes 3D product design and associated product manufacturing information
(PMI) enterprise in the PDF format without compromising security. You’ll
hear how suppliers understood design intent faster and therefore increased
component reliability sooner; how manufacturing assembly instructions were
developed earlier in the development phase and enabled faster ramp-up time
to production; and how support training and service manuals were developed
faster and sooner so that field service and support call centers were ready
when products first shipped.
2. The implementation strategy for NASA’s Integrated Collaborated
Environment (ICE). This is a web-centric environment which will be used by
industry, academia and government for sharing, collaborating, integrating,
accessing and controlling management information and product data defining
all of the products which are part of Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD). ICE will provide a secure data repository with the
necessary access control for data protection in conjunction with a
collaborative environment, which enables real-time decision support for
program deliverables. ICE is being designed to be an integral component of
the decision support framework for the entire program lifecycle and is
predicated on availability of needed information to team members involved in
making program decisions. ESMD will use ICE to facilitate effective
feedback, efficient change management and rapid change propagation. ICE will
support a wide variety of uses including support for Intermediate Program
Reviews (IPRs), major and minor design reviews, linking with potential users
of the systems, and team meetings.

Working Group: Protecting IP and Export Control Compliance in an
Integrated PLM Environment
Daratech is looking to facilitate the formation of an interest group to
promote the development of methodologies and technologies to secure
corporate IP in PLM environments and at the same time provide a framework to
manage export control compliance. This will be an initial meeting of
interested parties to set a direction and agenda. |

Session 2A1 - PLM Deployment and Integration Issues: Roadblocks, Best Practices
This session will present some the challenges, issues and best practices for
adapting commercial PDM implementations so as to ensure that export controls
are strictly adhered to. In addition, this session will present an approach
for overcoming the challenges posed by organization structures and cultures
to achieving greater commonality of parts and processes by using
off-the-shelf PLM and other tools, and present the tradeoffs that have to be
made along the way.

Session 2P1 - Digital Manufacturing: Concurrent Process Management
In this session you’ll hear about the digital manufacturing trends in
Japan's market beating the automotive industry and a review of likely future
PLM directions in Japan.
The session will cover in detail today's status of PLM at the major Japanese
automotive OEMs, as well as the PLM challenges they face in the context of
their high-level priorities: minimizing time-to-market (Nissan and Toyota
are targeting 12 months or less); globalization (more than 50% of production
volume will be outside of Japan); and capturing know-how (many key engineers
and managers will retire in 2 to 3 years). You’ll also hear about the major
PLM and work process issues Japanese automotive OEMs are working to solve,
including front-loading parametric design and increasing collaboration to
achieve more concurrency in their work processes, as well as examples of
typical Japanese digital manufacturing solutions not often seen in North
America.
A second presentation will explain how the MVP component of PLM adds value
in an assembly in an engineer-to-order (ETO) business, from early
engineering to final assembly. You’ll learn about the savings provided, and
how to help customers, workshop people and all in between achieve a better
understanding of product, process, and system needs.

publishing supports design at the product and manufacturing levels, and
distributes engineering content to marketing, sales and product support.
Discover who the leading MVP specialist providers are, the many ways in
which MVP is being put in production, and the ROI it is creating for its
users.

Session 3A1 - PLM After-Sales: True Lifecycle Support
Supporting products in the field is an important, high revenue and
profitable component of many manufacturing businesses. Doing this
efficiently is a challenge, particularly when the product is large and
complex. Recently, there have been moves in the aircraft industry to use
digital models of the product and its components to streamline and improve
product support functions.
This session will detail challenges, experiences, and lessons learned of
using digital product models to support products in the field.

Session 3A2 - Securing Corporate IP in a Globalized PLM Environment
Securing corporate IP in the digital age is a growing problem; digital storage devices grow in capacity and become smaller in size. There are defenses needed when collaborating with suppliers, by regulation, when collaborating with international subsidiaries, and the ever-present exposure to employee theft. But there is another even more serious problem--the problem of IP being “lost” because insufficient effort was made to capture it.
This session will discuss: (1) the hidden cost of mismanaging engineering calculations because of failure to capture the critical math and engineering calculations used to design a product, and strategies for capturing this critical IP and securing it; (2) IP defenses while collaborating with suppliers; and (3) export control compliance strategies.
