Expectations & objectives

Standardization is
Precondition for industrial collaboration
Means for cost saving
Benefit for our customer
Source of proven technical knowledege
Standards should be
Well recognized
Worldwide available
Applicable to mixed fleets
Reliable
Attractive to be used by other airframers
The standardization process should be

Global
Industry driven
Transparent and consensus-based
but
Quick and cheap

Corporate Policy on Standards

The Airbus corporate policy regarding product standards includes,
e.g.:
maximum use of standard parts
maximum degree of standardization
variety shall be minimized

Order of Precedence
The Airbus stated order of precedence in the selection or use of
internal vs. external standards:
Creation of new standards
Selection of existing Standards

Governance of external Standards

Management of external product standards (industry, government,
national and international) within Airbus
Operational Standardization is the Airbus owner for external
product standards
Airbus develops, manages & authorizes external product standards
the same way as the company standards
The related infrastructure is centralized, but there is no special
organization for external standards
Airbus coordination process: see page 16

Participation in external Standards

Development
Airbus participations in external standards development activities is
managed as follows:
Participants to Technical Committees are nominated by
Standardization or by the relevant technical department
Participants to Steering Committees are nominated by the operational
Standardization / technical departments concerned
Visibility of employees participating to external standardization
activities is ensured through a central data base
Airbus Members participate currently to approximately
60 Standardization Committees

Standardization Benefits
Homogeneous products
Basis for communication (across design centres and functions)
Approved solutions for recurring tasks
Reduced variety for (Purchase, Storage, Manufacturing and
Spares)
Available standards provide immediately a proven solution

Standard parts (family parts) are cheaper to produce/assemble
Page 19
Page 5
Day to Day Issues
Development times shortening

Proven solutions can be antagonist to new technologies
Various design activities and individual needs
Harmonization can be a compromise

Rationalization and Lessons Learned

Use an A/C top down approach to analyze the different
requirements and installation cases
Empennage
Fuselage
Wings
Boxes
Nose
and decide on a harmonized design principles and

opportunities to innovate

Innovation
New concepts can save more than 80% of the installation
time and up to 70% of the total number of parts
Modular Concepts
