| Abstract | The benefits of collaborative solutions are best illustrated using real-life examples. Bell Helicopters, for instance, needed a more effective way of managing large numbers of proposals for the production of helicopters. Traditionally, this had been a complex and time-consuming task. However, NexPrise was able to provide the company with a secure web-based solution that enabled it to easily manage the multistage process of creating proposals across a diverse supplier base. |

| AbstractList | The benefits of collaborative solutions are best illustrated using real-life examples. Bell Helicopters, for instance, needed a more effective way of managing large numbers of proposals for the production of helicopters. Traditionally, this had been a complex and time-consuming task. However, NexPrise was able to provide the company with a secure web-based solution that enabled it to easily manage the multistage process of creating proposals across a diverse supplier base. With intricate, highly engineered products and mammoth development programmes that sometimes last for decades, the aerospace and defence industry is characterised by unusually high levels of complexity. Nevertheless, it is subject to many of the same pressures as other sectors of discrete manufacturing. As operating margins are squeezed, companies need to maintain their profitability. To ensure continued competitiveness, they must reduce programme costs and cut product cycle times. At the same time, the events of 11th September and their aftermath have caused major upheavals in the industry. There is a climate of fear and concern over national security and defence, not only in US but also worldwide. Funding is increasing in some areas and decreasing in others, with many commercial airlines struggling whilst demand for certain types of military equipment grows. In these conditions the ability to respond promptly to change and turn orders around quickly is at a premium. It is imperative that manufacturers reduce procurement and production cycle times if they are to take advantage of new opportunities. |
