The Occitanie region has a unique
Eco system for the development of your aeronautical and space activities:
The Supply Chain is currently facing 3 main challenges: Supply Chain issues, high inflation, Sustainability. Therefore the Procurement Strategy must be adapted to these challenges.
IAI’s logic and methodology of
leveraging innovation and R&D to fostering technologies by
collaboration. The combined and collaborative efforts in the defense and
commercial sectors, by technology companies and start-ups, is key to the
development of future break-throughs.
AIRBUS and its whole supply chain have been
faced with significant challenges over the past few years, from major
restructuring to a worldwide pandemic whilst still maintaining an exceptional
backlog to be delivered across the next 10 years. The objective is to deliver
all these aircraft, On time, On cost and On quality. This represents an
industrial, commercial and technical challenge for the global supply chain and
requires Airbus to foster its detail parts business around key strategic
suppliers. Beyond the industrial excellence which is expected from all our
suppliers, some differentiating factors are also critical when selecting Airbus
“D2P” strategic partners: globalization, innovation capacity, value creation,
sustainable operational and environmental performance and continuous
improvement. The presentation aims at presenting the AIRBUS Detail Parts
development over the past few years, reviewing its sourcing strategy and its
implementation using the D2P processes and what the future strategy looks like
for detail parts.
Considered among the most important in Europe, the Aerospace industry in
Piemonte boasts more than 20.000 employees, 7 billion€ turnover, 350 SME’s, 6
prime companies, 1 Aerospace District, 4 Universities and several Private and
Public R&D centers, S&T Parks, Innovation hubs and incubators.
Strategically positioned at the heart of the European development system, right
at the crossroads of the main routes between the North-South, East-West, the
Piemonte aerospace supply chain is a complete one and offers leading edge
technological and business solutions to international key players providing
capable suppliers ready to deliver high-quality parts on cost and on time. The
Regional Authority is acting through Centro Estero per l'Internazionalizzazione
(Piemonte Agency) to develop new strategies beneficial to the SME's and new
business models such as the "Supply Chain Integrated Projects" with
specifically allocated budgets, methodologies and best practises. In this
framework, every two-year Torino becomes meeting point for the international
Aerospace community thanks to the organization of the only business convention
in Italy for the aerospace industry “Aerospace & Defense Meetings Torino”,
capable to gather more than 1.300 participants, 625 companies, 30 countries and
during which more than 8.000 b2b meetings take place. From the 28th to the 30th
of November 2023 Torino will host the 9th edition of Aerospace and Defense
Meetings.
Nadcap is an industry-managed
approach to conformity assessment that brings together technical experts from
both Industry and Government to establish requirements for accreditation,
accredit Suppliers and define operational program requirements. This results in
a standardized approach to quality assurance and a reduction in redundant
auditing throughout the aerospace industry. The Performance Review Institute is
the organization that administers the Nadcap Program and is the global authority
in facilitating industry-managed programs and administering critical process
accreditation programs.
This workshop will review the
programs offered by the Performance Review Institute (PRI) and highlight the
Nadcap Program, review the accreditation program operations, critical processes
audited, and review of the audit management software, eAuditNet.
Bmax is the leading provider of
Magnetic Pulse systems & solutions for Sheet metal processing, occupying a
large facility in Toulouse, France. Our technology is based on the high
concentration of electrical energy used to manipulate metal at extremely high
deformation speeds.
While off-the-shelf simulation software
covers many engineering domains, it simply isn’t designed to describe metal’s
behaviour in the extreme deformation rates attained by Bmax systems.
Gilles Mazars, Head of Simulation
will present Bmax's simulation capabilities through a Case Study related to the
forming of a Helicopter Engine Complex Part.
Then Mathieu Fournier, Aerospace
Sales Manager will highlight the benefits of Simulation & Magnetic Pulse
Forming process and present how Bmax can help your business grow.
