The Business Challenges of Product Lifecycle Management in the Department of Defense
Kevin Borek, Product Realization/PLM Consultant DoD- Office of the Secretary of Defense
The U.S. Department of Defense is no doubt the most complex enterprise in the world. At its root is a service fulfillment organization, built upon a network of complex engineered products, people and inter-related systems. Maintaining and mobilizing this infrastructure involves the labor of thousands of dedicated professionals both within DoD and industry in both geographically and organizationally diverse settings. Given the radical changes that have occured over the past 10 years in product realization techniques, the Department recognizes the need to modernize its product lifecycle and product data management processes. Kevin's presentation will explore some of the business opportunities and challenges associated with this transformation within this unique environment.
Kevin is a product realization consultant, currently working on Product Lifecycle Management strategy within the Office of Business Transformation at the Department of Defense . He has over 25 years of product development and manufacturing experience in both DoD and commercial industries, including aerostructures, radar/countermeasures, optics and electronics. He has held senior positions in engineering, program management, operations and general management and holds a BS from the University of Maryland and an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
