The upcoming mass production of 30 satellites for Europe's Galileo GPS network offers an opportunity for the space industry to apply modern manufacturing systems to reduce costs and increase quality,

New York - Jan 19, 2004
As the growth of cross-border alliances spurs the rapid globalization of the aviation, aerospace and space industries, the aerospace capital of Europe, Toulouse, France, will host with Aviation Week an executive-level event bringing together industry leaders to discuss new ideas to bring about greater international cooperation and to solve existing challenges facing major programs. The event will be held March 10-11, 2004 at the Pierre Baudis Toulouse Congress Center.

The Aviation Week-Toulouse Symposium is a venue for sharing ideas and learning among global industry leaders with an emphasis on connecting executives throughout their supply chains. Highlighted will be the global development of the Airbus A380, Boeing 7E7, Airbus A400, and the Galileo satellite network.

In addition to a keynote address by Noel Forgeard, President & CEO of Airbus, the Symposium will feature presentations, panel discussions and interactive workshops on the globalization of supply chain management. Top executives will share ideas and success stories for major aircraft, aerospace and military programs.

* Topics include
* How management obtains optimal performance in a globalized aerospace industry.
* Quality assurance down the supply chain.
* Creating an international supplier team for the A400.
* Performance of the A380's supply chain one year before its first flight.
* Ensuring the quality of telecommunications satellites.
* Low-cost airlines' supply chain management and cost pressures.
* Creating the 7E7 industry team.
* Pulling together the team for Galileo, Europe's most ambitious satellite program.
* ESA's public/private partnership to develop small satellites.
* Challenges of cross-boarder mergers & acquisitions.
* A critical look at the industry's supply chain performance.

"The aviation, aerospace and space industries have become nearly borderless. New commercial aircraft, missile and satellite programs all have extensive global supply chains and demand cross-cultural teaming among hundreds of companies in order to succeed," said Aviation Week Executive Vice President/Publisher Kenneth E. Gazzola. "This Symposium will give executives a new forum for promoting ideas and action that will strengthen industry relationships across the Atlantic and around the world."

The 2nd Annual Aviation Week-Toulouse Symposium is produced in partnership with Airbus Industrie, Alcatel Space, Astrium, and supported by the City of Toulouse, the Regional Council of Midi Pyrenees, the General Council of Haute Garonne and the Toulouse Chamber of Commerce.
