About this episode

Everywhere you look these days there are examples of A&D companies either late to market or over budget. What’s causing this? Well product complexity is a common factor that’s making it difficult to manage program schedule and cost. And then you have all these programs managed in multiple systems that don’t communicate with one another. 

No question in addition to increased complexity there are serious communication and transparency issues throughout the product development lifecycle today. The consequences of which can have a dire effect on the profitability of the entire program.  

How can we turn this around to increase productivity, get to market faster and realize significant profits?

Today, in our fourth podcast: “Take the Risk out of Program Planning and Management” we’ll be discussing how to improve program management by using a real and proven digital thread – the Siemens Integrated Program Planning and Execution, or IPP&E digital thread.

Our special guest of the series is Dale Tutt, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’s been involved in product development for 30 years and prior to joining Siemens, he was the Vice President of Engineering at The Spaceship Company. Before that, he spent 18 years at Cessna Aircraft Company and he had roles at General Dynamics Space Systems Division and Bombardier Learjet.

Dale is known as the “go-to guy” for all things aerospace and defense. Tune in now and listen how you can better manage your A&D program so that you can execute your goals faster with less risk and accelerate your productivity throughout all phases of the development lifecycle.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The challenges companies face today around program management. (04:16)
  • How to manage different systems inside a program. (06:33)
  • How the Siemens IPP&E digital thread helps with program management. (08:02)
  • The advantages of using the IPP&E solution. (09:53)
