Workshop description
The accurate, reliable, and secure use of materials
information is essential to every aerospace,
energy, or defense organization. Yet few, if
any, have successfully implemented robust systems
to ensure best practice in managing and applying
materials data. The Material Data Management
Consortium (MDMC) is a collaborative project
of leading engineering organizations established
to address this issue. It has identified and
solved many of the key practical challenges in
enterprise-wide management of materials data
and guided the development of a new software
system, GRANTA MI, that meets these challenges.
The workshops discuss the activities of the
Consortium, with presentations about key information-management
issues from influential members such as Rolls-Royce
and Honeyell. Presentations were also made to
demonstrate the commercial software delivered
to the MDMC members.
