CM Forum event no 2 2015

Welcome to the second CM Forum event of 2015. Our workshop will explore the challenges and benefits of developing a CM capability that manages to link engineering activities and their outputs and needed inputs across multiple lifecycle phases. This time with a particular focus on the CM requirements a downstream stakeholder (such as an After Sales Organization) would want to set on the CM function during the development phase.

We will approach the subject from a business viewpoint, meaning that we are interested in capturing how the CM activities and strategies we identify create business value. To give context to our discussion and provide us with very real and tangible examples in relation to this workshop theme, Saab EDS will introduce us to their current CM function and its challenges and opportunities.

This CM FORUM event was hosted by:SaabLogga

Date: April 23rd 10.00-16.00

Venue: Saab EDS, Nettovägen 6, Järfälla

A development department might for instance have rigged a well performing CM function supporting the development process, a maintenance organisation might have addressed and solved CM challenges related to the operational phase etc. This can be explained by seeing how we often organize the responsibility for particular engineering activities, including responsibility for CM, against particular lifecycle phases.

But this is far from effective system lifecycle management. CM must enable linkage between engineering efforts across lifecycle phases. Of particular business value is if CM can facilitate a downstream perspective during upstream activities as well as traceability back to early design phases as the system enters the operational phase. This can reduce risk and create profitable through life support opportunities. The key question for the workshop to answer is therefore:

What requirements on the CM function in the early lifecycle phases are necessary to exploit business opportunities during utilization and support lifecycle phases?

The expected outcomes of the workshop are documented conclusions capturing:

  • The participators experiences regarding how to implement CM that supports the whole lifecycle;
  • Practical strategies (“dos-and-don’ts”) to facilitate efficient aftermarket business by means of CM. this can be related to governance, processes & methods, organizational aspects, competences, information architectures, IT-tools, etc;
  • Examples of how CM can mitigate risk and create opportunities when resources for through life support are forecasted
