Horizontal vision and strategy

摘要

Competing on the current and next generations of defense and civil programs will require aerospace companies to embrace new and increasingly flexible business processes, according to IBM. For a business to be truly successful it takes more than a strong management team to succeed, though that certainly helps. Today it takes strategic agility―or the ability to see across broad horizontal processes―to mine a broad range of operational data sources to learn and nimbly apply knowledge quickly to manufacturing, supply-chain, and field-service initiatives. For this reason, contemporary aerospace companies are aggressively turning to integrated digital engineering, production, supply-chain, and aftermarket solutions as they transform themselves into e-business-on-demand companies that exhibit a characteristic responsiveness, variability, focus, and resiliency.
