Airbus is a world leading commercial aircraft manufactures in this i represented the how Airbus using the concurrent engineering and the uses of the concurrent engineering and new technology adapted to increase the product rate that is Collaborative engineering.
3. INTRODUCTION
• An air craft is a machine that able to fly by gaining the
support from air.

• Airbus group started in 1969.
• Airbus is a world leading commercial aircraft manufacturer
headquartered in Toulouse, France. The organisation has
more than 80,000 employees, working in 160 offices across
100 countries
• The design and industrialization of aircraft is a complex
process.

Airbus direct workforce in Europe *
Headquarters: 6/7%employees
Airbus France: 33 % employees
Airbus Germany: 37 % employees
Airbus UK: 18 % employees
Airbus Spain: 5/6 % employees
50,000 people
• Airbus design is started in by producing the drawing
in the paper.
• The first air craft is the airbus A300
• Then CAD Tolls, DMU are introduced

TYPES OF ENGINEERING
• Based on the way of production procedure classified into 3
types they are.
o Traditional engineering
o Concurrent engineering
o Collaborative engineering
• Traditional method is a olden method
• Now concurrent and collaborative engineering is used

9. CONCURRENT ENGINEERING
9Automotive Electronics
• It is a work methodology based on the parallelization of tasks
which is sometimes called Simultaneous Engineering
• It is used in product development in which functions of
design engineering, manufacturing engineering and other
functions are integrated to reduce the elapsed time required to
bring a new product to the market
• The main concepts supporting Concurrent Engineering are.
Managing complexity, maximize the production by work
parallel, Synchronization
10. Automotive Electronics 10
• Concurrent engineering is brake down into five major
phases:
• Feasibility (product idea, specification).
• Concept (basic and product).
• Definition (instruction to produced).
• Development (start and finish the model).
• Service.
11. Automotive Electronics 11
COLLABORATIVE ENGINEERING
• It break the wall between functional design and industrial
design.
• It is a new methodology that needs new procedures and new
PLM tools are used.

DMU and IDMU
• DMU
o ‘DMU as master’ is a standard
inside Airbus
o DMU is a simulation based on
numerical and/or digital models
that represents part of a product
(airframe, systems, avionics, …).
o DMU, mainly to check functional
design interferences(3D)
o The DMU is quite a complex
engineering object, and requires
proper management DMU
integrators are used

• IDMU
o ‘iDMU for all’ is a new concept. It is the main enabler of the
Collaborative Engineering.
o provides a common virtual environment for all the aircraft
development
o Functional design and industrial design are part of a single
design process
o IDMU collect the information related to functional design
plus all the information related to industrial design
o The end of the design phase, they guarantee a correctness
solution
16. Automotive Electronics 16
PILOT PROJECT
• It break the wall between functional design and industrial
design.
• Calipsoneo was launched to support the development of pilot
project.
• Calipsoneo involves Engineering Companies, IT companies,
Vendors and Research Centres and Universities
• Calipsoneo makes use of the newest PLM tools. Also
implements the new methods and process needed to support a
new style of design
.
17. Automotive Electronics 17
• The A320neo fan cowl pilot project and the Calipsoneo aims
to demonstrate:
• Collaborative Engineering concepts applied to aircraft design
and manufacture.
• Capability to generate an iDMU. 3D product, process and
resources.
• Configuration based on individual iDMU per specimen.
• Availability of PLM tools, develop, customization and
deployment of new capabilities.
• Use of new PLM tools at design engineering level
continue
18. CONCLUSION
•Collaborative Engineering is a broader approach derived
from the previous Concurrent Engineering experiences.
•The harmonization of functional design area and industrial
design area having different departments and different heads
•The concept of a unique team doing all design functions has
a large set of implications
•PLM experts were focused on PLM tools and create the new
iDMU
