INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Overview • Background • Opportunity • Strategy • Approach • Benefits • Experience • Conclusion • Discussion 3/19/2018 5: 26: 23 AM 5864_ER_AERO 2

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Background DNC – Distributed or Direct Numerical Control 1980 – Machine instructions for NC milling machines transmitted over telephone – Later evolved to mean system where a group of NC machines are connected to a central computer or – A combination of computers are linked to one or more CNC machines by LAN – CNC machines - tools that have a memory to control their operation – NC programs are distributed to the memory of CNC machine – ISO format most widely used • Use of Standards – promote interoperability – vendor interpretation failed to meet expectations 3/19/2018 5: 26: 24 AM 5864_ER_AERO 3

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Background FMS – Flexible Manufacturing Systems 1985 • Arrangement of machines – interconnected by a transport system giving flexibility to a variety of manufacturing operations. Transporter carries work to machines on pallets so that work-machine registration is accurate, rapid and automatic. A central computer controls both machines and transport system. 3/19/2018 5: 26: 24 AM 5864_ER_AERO 4

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Background FMS – Flexible Manufacturing Systems 1985 – The manufacturing environment considered totally automated into a ‘lights out’ situation – Proved possible only in limited manufacturing applications – Still remains a goal to produce a fully integrated environment even across organisations today 3/19/2018 5: 26: 24 AM 5864_ER_AERO 5

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Background OBA – Overall Business Architecture 1983 – Took this philosophy to the factory level – First generation integrated business system between design, planning, materials, manufacturing, procurement and invoicing application systems – Individual applications • • • Were locked together Difficult to maintain Inhibited business change Affected competitiveness of the business Were built to aid a discipline, not to integrate with other disciplines • Information was locked into application • Integration of these applications - expensive point to point interfaces 3/19/2018 5: 26: 25 AM 5864_ER_AERO 6

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Opportunity • Need for a more modular approach, where – Data is seen as separate from application – Information is key company asset and treated differently from application – Data / information needs to be protected as it has a life expectancy – Data standards are used – • XML-xx standards need to be developed like platform following STEP for exchanging data across PDM Systems via a neutral standard • This approach was used for the next generation of integration for e-Business and outsourced business 3/19/2018 5: 26: 25 AM 5864_ER_AERO 7

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Case Study - Opportunity • Depends on interface between PDM and ERP Systems – To transfer parts or Bo. Ms to allow designed items to be manufactured • Multiple PDM Systems were linked with multiple ERP Systems using point to point solutions – Used Sherpa for PDM, Network MTO (Compass Contract) for ERP and Tibco as the Message Broker • Launched a programme to replace Sherpa PDM System with single corporate Metaphase PDM System • No interface existed between Metaphase and the ERP Systems – Requirement for interface from Metaphase to any ERP system, supporting concept of ‘Design anywhere, Build anywhere’ – Transfer single parts, single level Bo. Ms and multi level Bo. Ms 3/19/2018 5: 26: 25 AM 5864_ER_AERO 8

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Strategy • Interface needed to be designed and data translations understood • Previously used proprietary Message Broker and to meet needs of interfacing to an External Marketplace system – New corporate Message Broker sought – Known as Enterprise Application Infrastructure (EAI) (web. Methods) – Supports initiatives such as A 2 A, B 2 B, B 2 C, EAI, BPM, BPA, EDI – Deliver true business driven end to end integration and interoperability between packaged and custom applications, mainframe system transactions (legacy), front and back office systems, Web services, business partners and human workflow 3/19/2018 5: 26: 25 AM 5864_ER_AERO 10

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Benefits • A single software solution in place, consisting of 4 modules, utilising the EAI solution, with separate paths as required for each business • Software is easier to maintain • Allows changes to the modules/adapters independently • Allows legacy information to be stored in canonical form in neutral database • Facilities developed for one site are available for other sites if required • Solution supports the concept of ‘Design anywhere, Build anywhere’, reducing ordering times by 50% and reducing the number of internal buyers / procurement staff 3/19/2018 5: 26 AM 5864_ER_AERO 16

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Experience • Now possible to link – internal procurement systems i. e. SAP, Baa. N, Network MTO to the External Marketplace System / Trading Portal (EXOSTAR) – supplier catalogues, order parts and invoice totally electronically – Internal HR Systems to external HR Systems 3/19/2018 5: 26 AM 5864_ER_AERO 17

INTEROP ESA ‘ 05 Conclusion • EAI is a strategic platform for information exchange between functional areas, within and external to an enterprise • Promoted by Procurement for connecting to External Marketplace System and need to reduce costs • Extended to support the outsourcing of HR Services • EAI approach allows modular (component) building of a system that has a degree of dynamic reconfigurability to meet business need of delivering capability for a contract • Minimal investment costs • Only one new MTO Adapter (& may be an update to Uploader, dependent upon requirements) • But it is at a price – Adapter writing – approx. 10 days effort – Specification and understanding of the business rules – approx. 8 weeks • Clearly software is NOT a problem – Business understanding - Modelling is 3/19/2018 5: 26 AM 5864_ER_AERO 19
