WARRENDALE, Pa., Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is an end-to-end capability that transforms system data into operational support information. This information has the ability to optimize vehicle maintenance actions, enhance vehicle safety and reliability, and extend product life. Already changing aerospace vehicle design and transforming aerospace organizations' manufacturing and operating aircraft, IVHM continues to develop rapidly for use in ground vehicles and marine craft.
SAE International offers a three-day course titled, "Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Technical Perspectives and Business Case," to be held Dec. 11-13, 2012, at its world headquarters in Warrendale, Pa.
The seminar will be offered in cooperation with Cranfield University, in partnership with major industry partners (Boeing, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Meggitt, Thales, MoD, Alstom) and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA).
In cooperation with Cranfield University, SAE International is pleased to offer this three-day seminar on IVHM. Cranfield University, in partnership with major industry partners (Boeing, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Meggitt, Thales, MoD, Alstom) and the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) launched the IVHM Centre at Cranfield in 2008. The Centre's mission, as a global leader in IVHM, is to enable the incorporation of IVHM technology into businesses to realize benefits in productivity, environmental impact, and vehicle performance.
This course offers an introduction to this significant area of technology and provides participants with a comprehensive overview of IVHM and its role in business. Drawing heavily from experience and knowledge gained in the aerospace industry, information will be presented as relevant to all mobility industry sectors. Included in this seminar is the book, "Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Perspectives on an Emerging Field," recently published by SAE International and edited by Ian K. Jennions.
