Boeing Deploys Dassault Systemes Update to Digital Tools for 787 Global Team.LE BOURGET Le Bourget is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.6 km. (6.6 miles) from the center of Paris. A very small part of Le Bourget airport lies on the territory of the commune of Le Bourget, which nonetheless gave its name to the airport. , France -- Boeing (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :BA) is the first company to deploy the latest updates to the V5 Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) software suite by Dassault Systemes (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities.

CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. , ENOVIA and DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application . The introduction included Boeing sites as well as members of the global 787 team. The update, known as Release 15 (R15), provides the global 787 Dreamliner team with improved integration between its ENOVIA collaboration backbone and DELMIA manufacturing definition tool. The team can better access and manipulate critical product information in real time. The V5R15 software also better integrates updates between designs and assembly information - eliminating the need for 2D installation drawings. "Our global team started using the software updates only two days after Dassault Systemes made it available," said Mike Bair, vice president and general manager of the 787 program for Boeing. "The improvements to the software are helping us reduce the time necessary to make design changes and virtually modify and test parts." The V5 PLM application suite is part of an overall approach to managing the international collaboration, known as the Global Collaboration Environment (GCE GCE 1. (formerly in Britain) General Certificate of Education 2. Informal a pass in a GCE examination GCE n abbr (BRIT) (= General Certificate of Education) → ), on the 787 program. In this virtual environment, Boeing and its partners are using V5 PLM applications to design, build and test every aspect of the 787 airplane and its manufacturing processes digitally and before production begins. "Boeing and Dassault Systemes are partners in developing the software solutions that are enabling the global 787 team to leverage its strengths and work together even across many different time zones and geographic regions," said Dave Fennell, vice president, Boeing Information Systems and Boeing PLM. "Boeing's continued trust in Dassault Systemes' solutions for the remarkable 787 Dreamliner demonstrates the robustness and global capabilities of V5 with CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA, all together," said Bernard Charles, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"This rapid rollout is the result of a close-knit partnership between Boeing and Dassault Systemes and demonstrates the power of the GCE and the value that V5 PLM can quickly bring to any company."
