Bell Helicopter Standardizes on Dassault ENOVIA, CATIA
 LOWELL,
MA, Nov 12, 2008 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a
world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, today
announced that Bell Helicopter, a Textron company, has embarked on a
multi-year, multiple stage upgrade of its PLM and CAD/CAM/CAE/CAI systems
using ENOVIA V6 and its pre-existing CATIA V5 implementation. Using Dassault
Systems solutions as its PLM foundation, Bell Helicopter will support its
unprecedented growth by using the ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator
for Program Management to meet regulatory requirements while also
standardizing a number of key business processes to enable employees and
suppliers across the globe to securely and more efficiently share updated
product information.
Faced with a mix of aging, stand-alone technologies and systems, Bell
Helicopter required an enterprise-grade, integrated solution capable of
improving the efficiency of its digital product management process while
also providing a foundation to support the globalization of its business.
The combination of Dassault Systems CATIA V5 solution and ENOVIA’s V6
Aerospace and Defense Accelerator to deliver specific collaborative business
processes enables Bell Helicopter to reduce product introduction cycle times
by integrating the supply network, support fielded products and foster
collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers. The creation of a
single PLM platform also enhances data efficiency and maximizes resources by
promoting extensive data re-use across multiple programs.
“Increased global demand and a more complex business environment created
unsustainable pressure on our existing legacy technology systems. We
therefore needed the lowest risk approach to get maximum benefits from
significant business process improvements,” said Glenn Isbell, program
manager, Bell Helicopter. “The partnership with Dassault Systems will enable
us to meet these challenges through an integrated solution that will
establish a series of best practices to better manage and securely
distribute product information globally within our company and across the
supply chain.
This implementation will also help the company maintain a solid focus on
compliance as a fundamental principle of its business operations. Actively
involved in the development of both commercial and defense aircraft, Bell
Helicopter is required to implement processes and systems that will support
multiple sources of compliance requirements. The A&D Accelerator for Program
Management will enable Bell to automate much of its Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) certification requirements while also enabling the
company to meet the specific requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD)
for critical defense programs. Other capabilities include defining objective
evidence of compliance for Contract Compliance and Closure, ISO 9000
certification, templating for CMMI certification and lean process
initiatives.
“With its geographically diverse operations, thousands of employees,
multiple customer segments and significant compliance requirements, Bell
Helicopter offers a perfect example of how an integrated PLM solution can
address extremely complex business environments,” said Michel Tellier, chief
executive officer, Dassault Systems ENOVIA Corp. “ENOVIA V6 was engineered
to address these business challenges which clearly represent the evolving
needs of this industry. We are extremely pleased to be collaborating with
Bell Helicopter, and growing the worldwide community of aerospace leaders
that are choosing ENOVIA to meet their strategic and future needs..”
The ENOVIA Aerospace and Defense Accelerator for Program Management is
based on the Dassault Systems V6 platform, a single PLM platform for
managing product lifecycle business processes that will enable customers to
implement industry standards and best practices. Designed as an out-of-the
box solution, the A&D Accelerator enables companies to rapidly deploy a
state of the art, scalable enterprise solution for managing Programs across
an extended-enterprise in real time that can help them meet product
requirements, customer contracts, schedules and regulations within a single,
collaborative environment.
