This presentation will give an overview of some of the major opportunities and areas of value delivery

• Digital continuity implemented with dedicated industry solutions for aerospace, covering processes from design, engineering to manufacturing, production and maintenance
• Reducing complexity in product development by integrating engineering and functions or value streams to lower costs: non-recurring (e.g., reduced design time, avoiding issues late in the design cycle) and recurring ones (e.g., minimizing parts and optimizing manufacturing).
• How to implement an integrated program management approach, to keep programs on-specification, on-budget and on-schedule
• Global deployment of sustainable, lean manufacturing processes and closed-loop visibility of all manufacturing operations for improved assessment and mitigation of risks

SIEMENS PLM SOFTWARE: Carlo Scibilia, Senior Business Analyst – Presales Industry Leader A&D

If you’re a program manager at an aerospace and defense company, you’re probably a spreadsheet expert. It’s common for aerospace and defense (A&D) program managers to use huge spreadsheets—some with as many as 40 columns and 10,000 rows—to manage independent product schedules and product programs.
Unfortunately, this practice slows down workflow and weighs on quality. Manual data entry and management ensures errors, risking accuracy and lost time. Just verifying, for example, that activities are scheduled to meet what could be 40,000 FAA compliance requirements can monopolize hours of a program manager’s time.
By contrast, when all product program data are in one widely accessible management platform, A&D programs become easier to manage and can yield higher profit margins and support longer-term revenue streams.
The reason why program managers use spreadsheets is that traditional program management software is a mix of point solutions that maintain separate sets of data, a model that some think “still works.” But it doesn’t work if you ask the most burning questions challenging A&D companies that want to stay competitive:

• Can your program management processes and technology tools meet changing market demands now and tomorrow?
• Can they deliver on technical, cost and schedule requirements so that you can protect and grow profitability? A&D buyers expect cost savings, fast response and anticipation of their needs based on disruptive trends such as Industry 4.0, Big Data-powered predictive guidance and the ability to access vast amounts of intellectual property data. But for many A&D companies to respond, they will need to expand their definition of “digital program management.”

PHILIPPINE TRADE AND INVESTMENT CENTER: Froilan Emil D. Pamintuan, Commercial Attaché

In this conference, the following information will be presented:

• An overview of the Philippine economy
• The Philippine aerospace supply chain
• Major OEMs and MROs, Tier 2 suppliers, and their testimonials
• Key support for aerospace

BODYCOTE, Aerospace, Defense & Energy: Antonio Magnacca, Business Development Manager

The growth of the ALM technology is gigantic; every day there are new application, new components, thinking additive, are manufactured for aerospace, energy and engineering components.
Nevertheless, ALM generates parts that are manufactured by multy micro welded layers of fine powders.
During the ALM process can be generated micro porosities that if left will reduce by far the fatigue resistance i.e. mechanical properties 
Aerospace components that are subject to high mechanical and thermal stresses have to be structurally speaking perfect.
To support the ALM growth, to support customer needs, Bodycote has developed a special ALM post processing matrix that consists in many steps the most important are:

• HIP hot isostatic pressing to eliminate all the porosities that are generated during the ALM process.
• Dedicated heat treatments to refine the structures.
• Other services are available like EDM, laboratory investigation.

GEORG MARTIN GmbH: Christoph Martin, Managing Director

Georg Martin GmbH is pleased to announce a new method to create detachable connections between shim foil layers. 
By using laser welding instead of bonding MARTIN® creates special non-permanent connections for shim packs. This has opened new opportunities for shim applications in the area of aviation assembly in case of temperatures higher than 200 degrees. 
Furthermore, this new product is highly interesting for bearing clearance adjustment work. 
A high precision comes along with a high shim stiffness and reduced danger of potential lubrication contamination. 
In addition, the product is safer and faster to use than normal Peel shims.
