How Digitalization Reduces Program Risk in Platform Development

摘要

New innovation. Increased complexity. Pressure to deliver complex platforms on time and within budget. As we enter a new era in aerospace development, digital technologies will keep companies competitive, successful, and profitable. Digitalization gives teams a new way of looking at familiar challenges along with incorporating new methods to deal with a growing list of complexities to lower risk throughout the entire product lifecycle.By grounding the electrical discipline in a more integrated and digitalized environment, aerospace manufacturers can increase engineering team and vendor engagement, improve response times, introduce new technology and innovation, and improve affordability up and down the supply chain through repurpose and re-use.Most important, engineering teams will reduce the probability of being surprised by an unexpected issue during platform integration that could force a costly iteration, which in turn, could impact budget, schedules, and perhaps individual careers.
