Honda Aircraft Tooling Solution

Honda Aircraft Company, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Company, has developed the Honda Jet, a small, personal jet with a claimed 20% better fuel efficiency than other designs.

Overview

One of the projects I worked on here was a tooling solution to help them with an automated release process, classification library, and updated data model for increased efficiency.

Challenges

  • They bought a pelthora of comercial off the shelf (COTS parts), but had a difficult time reusing them due to issues finding them.
  • They needed a release procedure for their parts.

Solutions

  • I built a classification system including taxonomy, custom icons, and migrated 1010 classification parts.
  • I setup change management utilizing an item revision definition configuration (IRDC).
