Dassault Systèmes has launched a new industry solution experience for aerospace and defence companies called “Winning Program.” Aerospace and defence companies will be able to configure the right concept for their customers and know from the earliest stages that they can deliver it on budget and on time.
Driven by aggressive targets for better product performance, lower costs and shorter development time, companies in the aerospace and defence industry are under increasing pressure to deliver proposals or offers with demanding initial commitments. A winning program is one that is meeting all defined requirements, performing on budget and on schedule, and identifying and effectively managing all potential risks.
“Winning Program” enables innovative A&D companies to effectively perform front-end business activities defining new offers and/or win new business and comprehensively execute the requisite system engineering choices and associated trade studies. Companies which are bidding on new work can use “Winning Program” to manage their proposal and conceptual design processes.
“It has been shown that the majority of costs throughout a program’s lifecycle are determined at the earliest stages of concept and preliminary design. Many companies have innovative ideas and visions that they include in those early phases, but, until now, they have had no way to determine exactly how they will execute. As a result, time and budget overruns have been far from unusual occurrences,” said Monica Menghini, Executive Vice-President, Industry and Marketing, Dassault Systèmes.
