Large programs are notoriously difficult to deliver on time and on budget. But expectations are high on program managers and program management offices (PMOs) even in the face of increased complexity from multi-discipline initiatives, intense budget scrutiny, and globally dispersed supply chains. Earned Value Management (EVM) helps reduce risk on high cost, high risk, time-sensitive programs. It improves a program’s odds for success and provides accountability and traceability into cost and schedule variances. It adds a new level of control, oversight, discipline, and rigor to program management to prevent cost overruns, missed scheduled milestones, and late delivery dates.
EVM improves program management by eliminating subjectivity. The approach lets program managers factually quantify program spending and progress. It provides a mechanism to identify and mitigate issues early before things get too far off track. It also offers a standard, proven way for customers and program sponsors to audit progress to gain confidence that the programs they’re funding are on track. Many companies choose to adopt EVM to improve program success. Others are required to use EVM for specific customers, contract types, and contract values or may need to demonstrate earned value to justify billing. Either way, EVM adds value and improves confidence in program delivery.
Compliance with ANSI/EIA-748 is required for DoD cost or incentive type contracts valued at or greater than $20 million. For cost or incentive type contracts valued at or greater than $50 million, compliance with the management attributes of the ANSI/EIA-748 32 GLs is demonstrated through a formal EVMS validation process. - Defense Contract Management Agency Instruction 208

Product Portfolio Management improvements drive top line growth, expand margins, improve corporate agility, and reduce overhead costs. Given the value, is it any wonder that more manufacturers are turning to PPM? Product Portfolio Management (PPM) has become mission critical for today’s product development companies. It helps companies drive strategic value by filling the pipeline with the right ideas, selecting the right projects and products, applying the right resources, and providing the right level of visibility to manage and make good decisions. Benchmarks show PPM processes and technology offer powerful business improvements, including double-digit percentage improvements in:

Michelle Boucher will join Kenneth Wong, Senior Editor from Desktop Engineering and Simon Floyd, Director of Innovation and Product Lifecycle Management Solutions from Microsoft for a very interesting webcast on Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 2:00 pm EDT.
The webinar will examine some of the latest advancements in product development technologies, specifically the combination of topology optimization software and 3D printers, and how they can be used to solve some of today's key design challenges. Topology optimization software allows you to achieve material savings and lower weight by placing material only where it is needed. However, the unique shapes proposed by the software are not always manufacturable with traditional manufacturing techniques. 3D Printing creates exciting new opportunities to produce these optimized shapes.

The research shows that there is significant room for improvement in PLM. Today’s PLM is a valuable business system that offers benefits to executives and downstream users but frequently burdens companies’ direct contributors and challenges infrequent users due to complex user interfaces which result in long learning curves. Although users express satisfaction with the current state of PLM, they were quick to offer areas that need improvement. The most frequently requested changes include improvements to:

Tech-Clarity Insight: Unlocking Engineering Value for Small and Medium Businesses with Product Design on the Cloud
explores the business benefits of a design environment on the cloud. The report examines the savings from an IT perspective as well as the strategic value and competitive advantage it can provide product development.
Please enjoy the summary below, or for the full report visit our sponsor, Dassault Systemes (free of charge, registration required).
Today’s global environment is so competitive, it has become very difficult for companies to stand out from the competition. To be profitable, companies must design better products, at less cost, in less time while offering customers something unique. This can be especially challenging for small and medium size businesses (SMBs) who face many of the same challenges large companies do, but with fewer resources to address them. With this in mind, they do not have any resources to spare. Yet, research published in Tech-Clarity’s report, Reducing Non-Value Added Work in Engineering, “Engineers spend a third of their time on non-value added work. Even worse, 20% of their time is spent working with outdated information, which often leads to wasted effort and rework.” Figure 1 shows the breakdown of that non-valued added time.
Turning to a design platform on the cloud can be a way to help. The adoption of cloud technology continues to grow as applications for both personal and business applications become readily available.
As stated in Tech-Clarity’s Assessing the Cloud PLM Opportunity, “Cloud computing is generally recognized as the next generation of information technology (IT) architecture. Large and small companies alike are using cloud solutions to simplify their IT infrastructure. These companies are taking advantage of lower costs, faster time to value, and increased agility available from Internet-based applications. Many companies have already moved applications such as e-mail, customer relationship management (CRM), collaboration, and other systems into the cloud.” As an example, companies such as Salesforce.com have proven success with a cloud-based, enterprise solution, even with highly sensitive customer data. ERP is another example that is finding success on the cloud. Based on research done for Tech-Clarity’s report, Modernizing Manufacturing Systems with the Cloud, “…cloud ERP results in a better, lower risk implementation than most companies could support in-house, offering web class performance and reliability.”
Given the success of other cloud applications, it makes sense that those benefits would also extend to a design environment on the cloud. Companies such as AKKA Technologies have found just that. AKKA Technologies is a French company that provides engineering and technology consulting services for the transportation and mobility, aerospace and defense, energy, life sciences, and hi-tech industries. Philippe Obry, Chief Innovation Officer at AKKA Technologies says, “Designing products on the cloud has led to a 30-40% reduction in development time. The time savings come from combining the expertise of multiple team members on a single platform and giving them easy access to the design data.”
Such significant time savings can turn into a real competitive advantage. This report details the business value and return on investment that can be achieved when designing products on the cloud.

After consolidating, there is still the need to take advantage of legacy data from other CAD tools for new or revised designs - this can be a challenge. A new technological approach provides the ability to directly open multi-CAD data, without converting it. With this method, engineers can open assemblies from other CAD tools without creating ‘copies’ of the original data. Data is only converted when it needs to change as part of the overall design.
Collaborating with partners or suppliers who are using other CAD tools can also be a potential challenge. With direct access, engineers can collaborate with multi-CAD data and reference it in their assemblies, without reassembling it when it changes. This report describes some of the technical approaches within CAD tools to make working with multi-CAD data as seamless as possible, while supporting the business benefits of a consolidated CAD platform.
