Request a Copy of the Presentation
How do we streamline the process from engineering designs to manufacturing? How do we manage the complexities of overlapping engineering change effectivities? How do we ensure that our products are manufactured and maintained to the right engineering specifications? How do we improve the quality and management of our supplier components?
In today’s environment, the performance of our Supplier Network is as important (or more) as our internal shop floor. The enterprise recipe for Sikorsky includes three major software building blocks: PLM, ERP, and MES. Sikorsky combines the best of commercial software and best practices to meet the requirements of building and maintaining military and commercial aircraft.
