CATIA V4 SOFTWARE DEPLOYMENT ]PROJECT PROPOSAL

Background

Project Goals

Problem / Opportunity

Resolution Proposal

Recommendation and Summary

BACKGROUND

Dassault Systems produces CATIA V4 software Code.

ABC Aircraft Manufacturing Company XXX Airplane Program is the next new airplane to be build .

XXX New Airplane Program requirement request - capability to release engineering CAD/CAM drawings with CATIA V4 Code.

Engineering release date May 3rd, 2011

Software Life Cycle Development and implementation target timeframe is approximately 9 – 12 months

PROJECT GOALSDevelop rigorous risk assessment processes to gain understanding of

software known and unknown risk

Identify key software risk categories (i.e. change management, configuration management) early stages to reduce risk and impacts.

Reduce cost impacts associated with software risk.

Deliver software quality products to customers.

Avoid schedule delays and eliminate risk to timely delivery of CATIA V4 software product.

PROBLEM / OPPORTUNITY

CATIA V4 Software (S/W) is a new product which has never been released into ABC infrastructure.

Potential Cost budget overruns

Schedule delays due to unknown risk and impacts. 

Decreased Software product quality

Delayed Airplane deliveries to Airline Customers

PROPOSED SOLUTION

Successful CATIA V4 Software implementation

 

SEI Taxonomy Based Questionnaire (TBQ).

 

Software Life Cycle Development Best Practices are documented and followed.  

 

3D CAD/CAM parts, assemblies, and installations capability available on distributed workstations.

Increase airplane sales and revenue gains

SCOPE

ABC Airplane Manufacturing Company increased sales and revenues

CATIA V4 software implemented in production for XXX New Airplane Program

Engineering and Manufacturing Engineers Planning on line 3D Drawings

3D (Dimensional Views) CAD/CAM Released Drawings using CATIA V4

QUALITY

Total Quality Assurance (TQA)

Policy and Procedures

Continuous Process Improvements (CPI)

Software Engineering Institute Taxonomy Questionnaire and Survey Results

Lean Value Stream Mapping (VSM) to be used on all key processes

Cost Categories Amount
