Two Projects Automotive - AUSAP 21 months (July 1998 - March 2000) Defence - SPIDER Feasibility Study: 5 months (July - December 2000) Main Project: 21 months ( Dec 2002 - Aug 2004) 2

The AUSAP project was designed to demonstrate to the local automotive industry that adopting ISO-STEP would result in a significant improvement in productivity, competitiveness and profitability ($$$). SME’s: $5 bn exports pa: USA, East Asia, Europe 4

The Target Market • Australia has 4 passenger OEM’s: Ford, GMHolden, DC-Mitsubishi and Toyota. • These are supported by more than 300 component suppliers, about 30 of which have significant export contracts. These are to companies such as GM, Daimler Chrysler, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai and Maserati. » 5

What was AUSAP? • A unique combination of OEMs, 1 st and 2 nd Tier suppliers joining together to help themselves leverage the benefits of advances in data exchange through the adoption of STEP • • AP 214/203 3 D CAD & PDQ 85 transfers Hoped to do PDM • 6

Project Aims · Demonstrate that STEP "works" between the popular CAD/CAM systems in use in the Australian Automotive Industry as a transfer mechanism for 3 D solid models. · Communicate this widely to the industry, especially the smaller component manufacturers and tooling industry. · Provide for an easy path for adopting STEP, through building and then making available a pool of experience in implementing STEP. · Develop a register of STEP experienced contacts from within the industry. 7

Project Deliverables - 1 · Raise awareness of STEP by: · Demonstrating the implementation on-site with real business partners as the trial participants, using real products. · Documenting the experiences - high quality, full colour quarterly Information Circulars - 7 in total over a 21 month project period. · Disseminating that experience to around 500 companies via: snailmail, email and a website, plus · Live interaction between project participants, and some of the 95% of companies which were not actively involved, by conducting 2 series of Workshops - in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. These had approx 150 attendees at each series. · 8

Project Deliverables - 2 · Encourage uptake of STEP by: · Involving CAD/CAM software developers and vendors, especially their local offices or agents. · Developing and publishing a business case study. · Creating an industry network of STEP experienced personnel · Producing a 12 minute video, featuring the actual trial participants themselves. This is available as a VHS tape or CD -ROM (preferred method of delivery). · 9

Project SPIDER STEP in Defence Engineering A Defence and Aerospace Data Exchange Study

SPIDER • Demonstrating the benefits of digital data transfer of product data models and their associated descriptive data. • CAD, PDM, CAE, TDP, Drawings, NC, CMM – tried and tested overseas by our competitors – an Australian Industry initiative to improve the industry’s efficiency and competitiveness (eg A 380, 7 X 7, JSF, Eurofighter) – use of AANX (Automotive) network for communications

SPIDER Project Support by Local & Overseas Companies Primes & sub-contractors Clients: Dept Defence & Overseas Primes Software vendors and agents Project aims to trial STEP in most critical areas of product data transfer. Document: Technical & Business Cases

SPIDER Workshops Local & Overseas presenters October 2003 & May 2004 (ISO-SC 4: China Oct 2003) Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane Expect 40 - 100 Attendees at each 13

Thank You - look forward to our continuing cooperation
