A Success Story: Vought Aircraft Industries

When Vought Aircraft Industries needed a strategic information technology (IT) provider to design and support their new state-of-the-art manufacturing and assembly facilities for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program, they turned to Dell. Dell worked with the Vought team to provide business process architecture, systems integration and information technology (IT) services.

To meet the demands of the 787 program, Dell worked with a Vought cross-functional team to design and deliver all of the required business processes and supporting technologies, including full deployment and integration of their product life cycle management, enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution and back-office systems.

Through sound strategic planning and applying our strengths in IT and business services, Dell helped Vought meet its objectives. Benefits included:

  • Alignment of IT and business goals
  • Full integration of business systems and shop floor human--machine interface (HMI) systems
  • Implementation of SAP
