Our Aerospace and Defense projects, ranging from concept to design and manufacturing to after market service, engage numerous geographically dispersed cross-functional entities in a value network that includes suppliers, partners, and customers. It is an excellent example of a collaborative approach to achieve business transformation.

To succeed in today's fiercely competitive environment, Aerospace and Defense (A&D) companies must:

• Design technologically superior products or modify existing ones faster
• Meet stringent precision, safety, and reliability specifications
• Comply with financial accountability laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley in the US and the antifraud directive in the European Union
• Ensure the data is secure amid a highly collaborative and geographically dispersed model
• Comply with EAR/ITAR regulations while exploring newer collaborative business models to reduce costs and boost profitability

And, all this must be done while delivering more for less, faster, better, and cheaper every time by driving costs out of the process.

We work closely with aerospace and defense companies in identifying opportunities for growth, delivering innovative solutions that enhance and sustain business value. Our solutions meet the complex and rigorous A&D requirements.

Here’s why A&D companies choose us to help them manage complexity, cut costs, and achieve business transformation:

• A flexible, partnership-focused approach
• Customized services for A&D clients
• Recognized as India’s second-largest engineering services provider
• Familiarity with EAR/ITAR regulations
• EBPO Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary in the US helps the projects governed by EAR/ITAR
• Alliances and joint research and development initiatives with academia

Strategies And Solutions

Reduce Time to Market

We recognize that the ability to bring an idea to design and then manufacture quickly is a key differentiating capability. Delays—whether from economic downturn, geopolitical problems, or other reasons—equal lost opportunity and revenue. Considering the costs of product development, any reduction in cycle time adds immensely to return on investment.

Our expertise in Engineering and PLM, along with our Global Delivery RightSourcing™ Model, help A& D companies quickly bring concepts from design to manufacturing. We thoroughly evaluate new products or components for technical feasibility, in a process that includes a review of conceptualization, design, prototyping, and commercialization. We apply a wide spectrum of engineering services in CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM, and customization.

Our service portfolio includes end-to-end PLM implementation services that encompass Process Consulting, PLM System Selection, Product Configuration, BOM, Product Release Management, and Change Management, as well as PLM integration with other enterprise systems, and Product Support and Maintenance.

Enhance MRO Process Efficiency

We understand the economic reality for A&D products. Sixty percent of their value is derived from aftermarket. As such, MRO inefficiency impacts profitability significantly.

To ensure streamlined MRO, we leverage an experienced Repair and Development Engineering (RDE) team, which features hands-on experience in line maintenance, structural repairs, power plant repairs, and operational and functional checks of aircraft systems. We help clients:

• Develop new repairs for engine/airframe components beyond repair manuals
• Develop new repairs for New Commercial Aircraft Programs and New Commercial Engines Programs
• Assess damaged part reports for faster return to service
• Analyze damage tolerance, static, and stress for critical flight safety parts and sub-assemblies
• With FMEA and FTA
• Manage design changes or modifications to parts/components experiencing repetitive failures in service/operation
• Update repairs in repair manuals
• Check for repair applicability of existing part numbers
• Update repair applicability for new part numbers introduced

Dependency on paper-based documentation severely reduces the efficiency of MRO-related tasks. Hard copy manuals are cumbersome, easily lost, and difficult to search and update, limiting productivity. We digitize product documentation. Our technical publications help A&D companies develop catalogues, mini-manuals, and other technical documents using a variety of tools. These include Arbortext Epic Editor, Indesign, Frame Maker, PageMaker, Quicksilver, AutoTrol Tech Illustrator, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, IsoDraw, AutoCAD, CATIA, Unigraphics, and Pro/E.

Outsource, Migrate, Upgrade

Despite the need for flexible, service-based solutions and platforms, many A&D companies are beset by disparate and disaggregated systems. As a result, innovation suffers. However, the ability to innovate is critical for A&D companies.

At EBPO, we recognize the need to align IT with rapidly changing business needs. Our application outsourcing team features superior technical skills in various platforms. Whether building from scratch or converting legacy applications, we enhance businesses with strong application development/conversion capabilities. Consequently, A&D customers leverage SOAs that enable business process flexibility, which facilitates innovation. They also use Web Services throughout the enterprise, enabling periodic business process changes.

Additionally, we offer development/enhancement and maintenance services across all packaged and non-packaged applications, and perform them at very high levels of maturity, reducing the cost of ownership considerably.

Focus on Core Competence

Like all companies today, A&D organizations need to focus on their core competencies.EBPO understands the A&D market, and can manage an organization's critical, non-core business processes. Those processes are EBPO core competency.

EBPO provides cost efficiencies, quality processes, round-the-clock operations, unmatched infrastructure, and committed professionals. Its highly scalable, globally networked and secure offshore computing and physical infrastructure combine with a unique onsite/offsite/offshore delivery model to deliver exceptional ROI.
