Title: Closing the Information Gap in the Supply Chain
Presenter: Ryan Gelotte, Action Engineering

Abstract: Product data is broken into 3 categories of information: Design, Manufacturing, and Quality (Inspection). When an organization leverages the capacity of digital data (e.g. Model-Based Definition) then it can expand product information into a unique 3-plan system (design, manufacturing, and quality). Today static, non-intelligent 2D drawings capture ALL product information, which drives error, inaccuracies and confusion. Taking advantage of digital data can help to close information gaps between design entities and external suppliers, thereby reducing supply chain costs.

Learn the concepts of compartmentalizing digital data about products into three categories: Design, Manufacturing and Inspection in order to improve product communication to and from the supply chain. Establishing a framework such as the Quality Information Framework standard will provide a platform for this digital data to be delivered from and introduced into a digital thread that accommodates organizations throughout the enterprise of varying levels of Model-Based maturity.
