3 We are a leader in designing, manufacturing, and delivering aerospace products, services and solutions to customers on a global scale. Airbus is an international pioneer in the aerospace industry. A commercial aircraft manufacturer with two other Divisions - Defence and Space and Helicopters - Airbus is the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe and a worldwide leader. Airbus has built on its strong European heritage to become truly international with roughly 180 locations and 12,000 direct suppliers globally. The company has aircraft final assembly lines across Asia, Europe and the Americas, and has achieved a more than a sevenfold order book increase since

6 Configuration Management Successful demonstration è the projectile hit target Buyer: Build me 100 more Industry had the following dilemma: The prototype was expended No adequate records Technical publications did not reflect built a second success could not be guaranteed, nor an identical article produced.

7 Configuration Management Main activities (ISO 10007): Configuration management planning Configuration identification Change control Configuration status accounting Configuration audit 6/6f/Solina_StringEnsemble_identification_plate.J PG Requirements for CM can be found in the ISO 10007, EIA 649 B, EN 9100 standards, the specific domain of activity regulations (e.g. EASA and FAA regulation for the aerospace industry) and recommended practices (e.g. ARP4754 for the aerospace industry) 7

10 Vision for tomorrow extending the scope of CM Elements of an SoI Product Today Enabling product Services Processes People/ roles Training Tomorrow SoI = System of Interest Concept Design Production Operation Upgrades Disposal Typical System Life Cycle 10

11 Vision for tomorrow The extension of CM & SE along the full lifecycle The extension of CM across all elements of the SoI Tailoring and automation of CM Traceability and reusability across multiple programs SoI = System of Interest 11

12 Vision for tomorrow (examples) Isaksson, O., Kossmann, M., Bertoni, M., Eres, H., Monceaux, A., Bertoni, A., Wiseall, S. and Zhang, X. (2013). Value-Driven Design A methodology to Link Expectations to Technical Requirements in the Extended Enterprise. INCOSE International Symposium 23: doi: /j tb03055.x 12

13 Vision for tomorrow (examples)

14 Vision for tomorrow (examples) Thor (Airbus): - First fully 3D printed UAV - Tested during a 40km test flight from Hamburg to Stade Production of spare parts and components by 3D printing becomes reality UAV = Unmanned Aerial Vehicle 14

15 What is still missing to make it happen? 15 Further research in specific areas Strategic collaboration frameworks Legal frameworks Culture of sharing Further standardization

16 Conclusions ØCross-industry trends will force us to further advance and automate the way we conduct CM and how we integrate it with SE approaches for tomorrow s complex systems and SoS. ØAn extension of the scope of CM is needed; while at the same time making CM much more agile and flexible. ØTwo key obstacles to the needed changes are the lack of early collaborative environments within the extended enterprise (including appropriate legal frameworks); as well as further standardization. SoS = Systems of Systems 16
