Increase aerospace engineering productivity with PLM software

Aerospace and defense companies’ success relies on exceptional engineering. Engineers’ design decisions directly impact sustainability goals, cost targets and regulatory and safety requirements.

However, engineers report spending too much time on non-value-added work. In fact, in a survey of aerospace and defense companies, 85% said lost engineering productivity comes at a significant business cost due to missed deadlines, increased costs and less innovation.

In this ebook, learn how product lifecycle management (PLM) software can help increase aerospace engineering productivity.

Aerospace engineering productivity

Aerospace engineers do critical work, but they often must perform tasks that don’t add value to a project. Some examples of this include tedious tasks associated with compliance documentation, answering questions, sharing data and giving status updates. Aerospace engineering productivity can also be lost due to the inability to find information for reuse and the lack of traceability across a project’s data. Implementing a PLM software solution can help combat these different engineering time wasters.
