• The AUSAP project was designed to demonstrate to
  the local automotive industry that adopting
  ISO-STEP would result in a significant
  improvement in productivity, competitiveness and
  profitability ().
• SMEs 5bn exports pa
• USA, East Asia, Europe

The Target Market

• Australia has 4 passenger OEMs Ford,
  GM-Holden, DC-Mitsubishi and Toyota.
• These are supported by more than 300 component
  suppliers, about 30 of which have significant
  export contracts. These are to companies such as
  GM, Daimler Chrysler, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai and
  Maserati.

What was AUSAP?

• A unique combination of OEMs, 1st and 2nd Tier
  suppliers joining together to help themselves
  leverage the benefits of advances in data
  exchange through the adoption of STEP

• AP214/203
• 3D CAD PDQ
• 85 transfers
• Hoped to do PDM

Project Aims

• Demonstrate that STEP "works" between the popular
  CAD/CAM systems in use in the Australian
  Automotive Industry as a transfer mechanism for
  3D solid models.
• Communicate this widely to the industry,
  especially the smaller component manufacturers
  and tooling industry.
• Provide for an easy path for adopting STEP,
  through building and then making available a pool
  of experience in implementing STEP.
• Develop a register of STEP experienced contacts
  from within the industry. 7

Project Deliverables - 1

• Raise awareness of STEP by
• Demonstrating the implementation on-site with
  real business partners as the trial participants,
  using real products.
• Documenting the experiences - high quality, full
  colour quarterly Information Circulars - 7 in
  total over a 21 month project period.
• Disseminating that experience to around 500
  companies via snailmail, email and a website,
  plus
• Live interaction between project participants,
  and some of the 95 of companies which were not
  actively involved, by conducting 2 series of
  Workshops - in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney.
  These had approx 150 attendees at each series.

Project Deliverables - 2

• Encourage uptake of STEP by
• Involving CAD/CAM software developers and
  vendors, especially their local offices or
  agents.
• Developing and publishing a business case study.
• Creating an industry network of STEP experienced
  personnel
• Producing a 12 minute video, featuring the actual
  trial participants themselves. This is available
  as a VHS tape or CD-ROM (preferred method of
  delivery).

Project SPIDER

• STEP in Defence Engineering
• A Defence and Aerospace
• Data Exchange Study

18
SPIDER

• Demonstrating the benefits of digital data
  transfer of product data models and their
  associated descriptive data.
• CAD, PDM, CAE, TDP, Drawings, NC, CMM
• tried and tested overseas by our competitors
• an Australian Industry initiative to improve the
  industrys efficiency and competitiveness (eg
  A380, 7X7, JSF, Eurofighter)
• use of AANX (Automotive) network for
  communications
