Aerospace and Aviation
Requirements Analysis
♦ Difficulties in multi-facility and cross-regional collaboration: Aircraft model development involves prime manufacturers, research institutes, suppliers, and other entities, but the lack of a unified data platform results in delayed response and inefficiencies in collaborative design.
♦ Challenges in managing dynamic BOM evolution: From conceptual design to flight testing and final certification, the BOM undergoes frequent changes with distinct phase characteristics, making it difficult to ensure accurate end-to-end lifecycle traceability and version control.
♦ Low efficiency in design change closure: Change processes span multiple departments including design, process engineering, airworthiness, and procurement, relying on offline approvals and manual information transfer. This leads to information asynchrony, execution deviations, and severely impacts development schedules and product quality.
♦ Low levels of knowledge reuse and modularization: A large amount of proven solutions, typical structures, and problem-solving measures are scattered across project documents or individual expertise, failing to be captured as organizational knowledge assets, thus constraining efficiency in product variants and standardization progress.
♦ Strict requirements for airworthiness certification, quality systems, and confidentiality management demand full traceability and auditability of data throughout the lifecycle. However, existing systems suffer from data fragmentation, weak associations, and version chaos, making it difficult to meet stringent compliance requirements.
