AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE
TUESDAY, MAY 6, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AMAffordable Mission Capabilities with Integrated Enabling System ArchitecturesTom Herald, PhD, Senior Fellow, Lockheed Martin – Global Training & Logistics
Dr. Robert Gates, 22nd Secretary of Defense, has challenged defense contractors to forego designing an ‘exquisite system’ in favor of a compliant ‘80% solution’.1 What does this affordability challenge mean? How do we embrace it and what must we do differently? Whether in a military or commercial domain, there are varying definitions of system architecture and the term affordability. This presentation explores how to change our perspective on architecture, to specifically facilitate understanding of the domain-relevant trade space for affordable solution design. 1Gates, Robert M., 22nd Secretary of Defense, from remarks at the Naval War College,
Newport, RI, 17 April 2009
12:15 PM – 1:15 PMNASA Technology Innovation: Role in Economic and Manufacturing DevelopmentDr. Robert J. Shaw, Deputy Director, Office of Technology Partnership & Planning, Chief, Venture Development &
Partnership Office NASA Glenn Research CenterNASA has been widely recognized for the development of innovative technologies required to support the Agency’s product lines of space exploration, science, and aeronautics. Over the last fifty-five years, a significant number of these
technologies have been utilized by the private sector to create new products/enhance existing products and thus contribute to the economic security of the United States. Representative examples of successes to date as well as future plans will be discussed.
MEDICAL
WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AMStrategic Manufacturing LeadershipPeter Walsh, Vice President, Global Operations, Medtronic
Mr. Walsh’s presentation addresses trends in the global Medical Device sector and provides some insight for Medical Device companies. He discusses the impact of these trends from a manufacturing perspective and shares some thoughts on how manufacturing leaders can position themselves
to be strategic leaders in a very competitive environment. He discusses his criteria for strategic leadership and how charter is a function of capability, particularly for manufacturing locations that support strategically important markets.
12:15 PM – 1:15 PMMedical Device Design and EvolutionChristopher J. Kaye, Vice President of Research & Technical Innovation, U.S. EndoscopyFollowing selection, problem definition and product definition, there exists a critical period
where prototyping, testing, and capabilities infiltrate the design intent. These can come in the form of challenges or may be advantageous attributes that have been revealed during the development process. The additional capabilities that surface during the development phase can do as much to cripple a project as the problems recognized from the start. There is also the evolving “needs familiarity” and the potential resulting design creep that must be managed to ensure that the right product is delivered without unreasonable delays. This presentation focuses on the design and development process with particular emphasis on the medical device industry.
AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE
THURSDAY, MAY 8, 9:00 AM – 10:00 AMInnovation for Large Scale Increase in Engine Production RateLynn Gambill, Chief Engineer of Manufacturing Engineering & Global Services, Pratt & Whitney, United Technologies Corp.
12:15 PM – 1:15 PMNew Era in Aerospace and Advanced ManufacturingMike Reopel, Principal, Deloitte ConsultingMr. Reopel examines many of the aspects of today’s advanced manufacturing strategies, processes
and technologies and how they will impact the manufacturers of tomorrow. Mike discusses the demand dynamics and disruptions in the supply chain that will make winners and losers out of tiered suppliers. He also covers how OEMs are raising their game in sourcing of machining and that commercial aerospace companies will be locking up capacity with few suppliers. Mike explains how advanced manufacturing technologies, led by additive manufacturing, will be disruptive to the industry. He concludes by reminding attendees that the basics still work – value engineering, target costing and technology bookshelves.
