Upgrade takes product lifecycle management further
Dassault Systemes and IBM are releasing Version 5 Release 13 (V5R13) of their product lifecycle management (PLM) portfolio, comprising Catia, Enovia and Smarteam.
By implementing the complete portfolio of IBM PLM Solutions developed by Dassault Systemes, Boeing will standardise use of specifications, engineering rules, operational parameters and simulation results across its extended enterprise.
The partners and suppliers that comprise Boeing's Global Collaboration Environment (GCE) for the 7E7 will also implement the virtual product development platform, which is the industry standard used in all major new aircraft programmes.
Harmonisation on the platform across Boeing's supply chain will improve collaboration, innovation, product quality, time to market and return on investment.

Simulation spotlights process inefficiencies
ArvinMeritor has selected Delmia Quest and Delmia Process Engineer (DPE) to evaluate its current assembly processes.
Effective until 2007, the contract includes company-wide transition to Catia V5, for collaborative design and product development, and Enovia Life Cycle Applications (LCA) and Smarteam, for collaborative product data and lifecycle management.
Dassault Systemes' Delmia Solution for digital manufacturing will enable Boeing to define and simulate new manufacturing facilities and processes.
In addition, IBM's DB2 Universal Database will provide a secure data repository for Boeing's internal teams and external development partners throughout the development cycle of the aircraft.
"We are entering the 21st century with new ways of doing business", said Scott Griffin, CIO, The Boeing Company.
"Breakthrough business processes and systems technologies will enable us to achieve completely new, innovative ways of developing our products.
Dassault Systemes is integral to our success".
"Dassault Systemes' co-operation with Boeing to make the 777 the world's first all-digital designed aircraft was a milestone for the manufacturing industry", said Bernard Charles, President and CEO, Dassault Systemes.
"Digital mock-up became a reality.
Ten years later, Catia, Enovia, Delmia, and Smarteam are helping Boeing revolutionise the way it develops and supports aircraft by merging products with lifecycle management, again making PLM a new milestone for the industry".
"IBM actively supports the aerospace industry with solutions that help aircraft builders, like Boeing, rationalise costs and develop more efficient and technologically sophisticated planes faster than ever before", said Scott Hopkins, General Manager, IBM Product Lifecycle Management.
"IBM PLM has been working hand in hand with the world's leading aerospace companies for more than 20 years, transforming the way aircraft are developed and produced.
IBM will continue to provide solutions and industry thought leadership that will help the aerospace industry innovate and face the challenges of the future".
