Interoperability for product design and manufacturing Application in Aeronautical Industry
Résumé
The aeronautic industry is a fragile and highly competitive sector in which the relationships between the different partners are supported by numerous IT applications which must be interoperable in a flexible manner and at low cost. This is particularly true for the sub-contractors of rank 2 and following which are small enterprises (round 50 employees). This paper presents the ISTA3 methodology based on MDI and SOA principles using a progressive approach in order to define technical services based on business models at the highest level. After the presentation of SOA and MDI principles, the method is presented and illustrated by a case study of ISTA3 Project presenting the models used to characterize interoperability nodes. The last part of the paper presents the method to define indicators used to evaluate interoperability level.
