Challenges of Working with a Global Supply Chain

With more than 300 participants already registered for the fifth annual Boeing/Northrop Grumman/Elysium Global Product Data Interoperability Summit, the list of speakers and topics has now been released. Fifty aerospace, automotive, software, and IT experts from some of the most recognizable companies in business will address the data and communications challenges and opportunities that arise in today’s multi-CAD, multi-supplier environment.

 

The summit is of interest to anyone in the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM space – commercial or academic – who would like to participate in discussions about best practices in data management and exchange as they apply to the year’s theme of “Enabling Productivity with Common Data Streams.”
