Avionics May Be Major Component of Japan's Renewed Interest in Arms Exports

The Japanese government has long banned most weapons exports. That policy helped buttress Japan's pacifism, but it also hindered the growth of the country's defense industry.

Boeing's Defense Business Takes a Hit, But the Manufacturer Is Fighting Back

Boeing and its investors likely couldn't be happier with the first quarter 2014 earnings report: revenue rose 8 percent over the year-ago quarter, operating margins widened, and 2014 guidance got boost. The U.S. aerospace company ramped up deliveries for its 787 and 737 models to keep pace with demand, which in turn increased cash flow beyond analyst expectations. And a $374bn backlog of more than 5,100 aircraft guarantees that even if Boeing stopped booking new orders today it would take nearly a decade to deliver all the planes on order. But things don't appear quite so rosy in Boeing's Defense, Space & Security division.

How to Build a More Profitable Industrial Asset Management Function

The goal of industrial asset management, or IAM, is to maximize the value of a company's assets. An effective IAM solution can make the business more efficient, reduce downtime and improve service delivery. And yet, for many companies, the current IAM operating model just isn't cutting it. For original equipment manufacturers or OEMs in particular, the IAM function leaves a great deal of unrealized potential on the table – in some instances, up to 20 percent service cost reduction, 15 percent revenue enhancement, and 15 percent asset up-time improvement.
