Reduce Time to Market

Delays—whether from economic downturn, geopolitical problems, or other reasons—equal lost opportunity and revenue. We understand the importance of giving wings to ideas and work towards reducing time-to-market.

Our expertise in Engineering and PLM, along with our Global Delivery RightSourcing™ Model, help A&D companies quickly bring concepts from design to manufacturing. We thoroughly evaluate new products or components for technical feasibility, in a process that includes a review of conceptualization, design, prototyping, and commercialization. We apply a wide spectrum of engineering services in CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM, and customization.

Our service portfolio includes end-to-end PLM implementation services that encompass Process Consulting, PLM System Selection, Product Configuration, BOM, Product Release Management, and Change Management, as well as PLM integration with other enterprise systems, and Product Support and Maintenance.

Enhance MRO Process Efficiency

To ensure streamlined MRO, we leverage an experienced Repair and Development Engineering (RDE) team, which features hands-on experience in line maintenance, structural repairs, power plant repairs, and operational and functional checks of aircraft systems. We help clients:

• Develop new repairs for engine/airframe components beyond repair manuals
• Develop new repairs for new commercial aircraft programs and new commercial engines programs
• Assess damaged part reports for faster return to service
• Analyze damage tolerance, static, and stress for critical flight safety parts and sub-assemblies with FMEA and FTA
• Manage design changes or modifications to parts/components experiencing repetitive failures in service/operation
• Update repairs in repair manuals
• Check for repair applicability of existing part numbers
• Update repair applicability for new part numbers introduced

Think“Enterprise” – Leverage Information

Successful organizations in the A&D space represent models of collaborative design, manufacturing, supply chain, and process excellence. Their success depends largely on their ability to leverage technology that enables collaborative business models.

We understand the need for a solid transactional backbone (ERP) to enable greater visibility into global spending and to aggregate demand to best suppliers. We have a large and talented pool of professionals, comprising the right mix of domain experts, functional & technical consultants. These professionals optimize ERP and EAI solutions to help integrate business processes across the entire organization. We offer:

• SCM services that ensure demand generation and fulfillment cycles
• CRM services that maximize sales, improve service efficiencies, and enhance customer loyalty
• BI solutions that enable fast decision-making
• SOX compliance solutions that prepare for first-time and sustained compliance via business processes improvements

Apart from the above-mentioned ones, we deliver supply chain visibility and security through a business solutions lab that builds and simulates solutions.

Adopt Emerging Technology

Digital Manufacturing

Beset by long manufacturing lead times, cyclical demand, and geopolitical instability, A&D companies stand to make dramatic gains from digital manufacturing. Our Digital Manufacturing Solution Center transforms the way companies define the manufacturing processes.

RFID

With the definition of data standards and development of ceramic smart tags, the A&D industry is set to proliferate the use of RFID technology. While today's RFID programs are largely limited to supply chain visibility, they may soon be used to monitor asset conditions in real time.

Our RFID practice, complemented by best-of-breed partners from RFID hardware, middleware, and integration organizations, helps clients in areas such as:

• Supply chain management
• Retail shelf and back-room management
• Logistics and transportation
• Warehouse management
• Production tracking
• Work in progress — Just-in-Time
• Asset tracking and yard management
• Real-time location system
• Auto-ID emerging technologies (Sensor networks, wide area wireless LANs, etc.)

In addition, we ensure that RFID technologies work seamlessly with major ERP, supply chain execution, retail, transportation and manufacturing execution systems (MES).

Enhance Product Safety and Reliability

The A&D industry leaves little room for product failure. We recognize the need for stringent precision, accuracy, safety, and reliability in building a failsafe systems and sub-systems.

Our avionic solution expertise helps A&D companies build products that work right, the first time and every time. Our services include embedded engineering, DSP, VLSI design, and real-time system/code analysis. With support from our System Architecture Group, we provide technology-intensive solutions and products that meet even the most stringent International Quality Standards for aerospace.

We have a strong team implementing aerospace standards and excellent knowledge and experience executing projects that comply with:

• DO-178B considerations for software
• DO-254 guidelines for hardware
• Systems and software safety and certification, as per ARP 4761 and ARP 4754.

Outsource, Migrate, Upgrade
