Royal Danish Embassy in Washington Helps Connect Industry to Boeing

Denmark’s “Open for Business” policy launched by Danish Minister of Defense Nick Hækkerup and supported by the Royal Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C. has already helped to further connections between Danish industry and Boeing. The Danish Design Summit, held in the fall of 2012, was just one outcome of this important partnership. Held at Boeing’s Dreamliner Gallery near Seattle, Danish companies, universities and government organizations participated in the summit to discuss their products and the latest trends in aerospace-related In the fall of 2012, representatives of various Danish organizations products. These included Brahe Design, Jakob Jensen Group, participated in The Danish Design Summit held at Boeing’s Dreamliner Gallery near Seattle. (Photo: Boeing) Seritronic, Syddansk University, Kvadrat, as well as the University of Washington, Scan Design and its foundation, and the Danish Consulate of Seattle. The Dreamliner Gallery is Boeing’s showroom and meeting space for airline customers looking to design their fleet. Lt. Col. Per Lyse Rasmussen, Assistant Defence Attaché of the Royal Danish Embassy, was instrumental in recruiting Danish companies to attend the Summit. As a result, a number of Danish companies are actively exploring opportunities to team with Boeing in the development of advanced products and concepts for airplane interiors. The “Open for Business” policy was announced by Minister Hækkerup in 2012 and formally launched this spring to support government efforts to strengthen growth and create new jobs in Denmark. Danish Ambassador to the U.S., Mr. Peter Taksøe-Jensen, and Lt. Col. Rasmussen have continued to support the exploration of partnership opportunities between Boeing and a wide variety of companies in all sectors of Danish industry, not just defence and commercial airlines. Even before the policy announcement, the Royal Danish Embassy was active in creating partnerships. For example, Lt. Col. Rasmussen accompanied Boeing’s Creative Director Jeff Van Dyck and Technology Sourcing Manager Brenda Wilson on an earlier visit to Denmark that included visits at Stelton, Bella Design Center, FAD, WiseCan, Normann Copenhagen, Georg Jensen, Rosendahl, Egetæpper, Seritronic, Scandinavian Avionics, Gabriel, Bang & Olufsen, Brahe Design and Danish Design Center.

On the Road to Advanced

Manufacturing in Denmark – Via a Stop in the United Kingdom

For two Danish journalists, it took just a short trip from Copenhagen to Sheffield, United Kingdom, to take a peek into the future of what manufacturing in Denmark could become. The journalists were recent guests of Boeing at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), a research and technology consortia AMRC Commercial Director Adrian Allen (left) with Boeing helped found with the in 2001 to help revive Boeing International Vice President Brian Moran and manufacturing in . Nearly a decade later, Boeing used the DAMRC General Manager Klaus Bonde Ørskov successful AMRC model to help launch the Danish Advanced Manufacturing during the visit to the AMRC in Sheffield. (Photo: AMRC) Research Centre (DAMRC) in 2009. With the DAMRC planning to build its own high-tech manufacturing facility, the reporters were on a mission to understand how Boeing’s consortia model can benefit their country. “By combining Boeing’s expertise in research and technology development with the talents of other companies and university partners, we can help Danish industry compete for more manufacturing business in the future,” said Brian Moran, vice president for Boeing Northern Europe who welcomed the journalists at the AMRC. “Initiatives like these not only enhance the competitiveness of Danish industry and ultimately our own, but they also position Boeing for additional growth through expanded presence and partnerships.” Journalists toured the Factory of the Future, a state-of-the-art machining research center; the Knowledge Transfer Centre, where apprentices learn new manufacturing, machining and assembly techniques; and viewed plans for the new AMRC Training Centre, which is designed to produce skilled engineers for globally competitive markets like aerospace and energy. They were also briefed on the latest DAMRC projects by Klaus Bonde Orskov, the DAMRC general manager. The tour received significant coverage in Denmark, with the headlines reporting the “Sheffield Success” and “Test center to create new jobs in Herning,” the city where the DAMRC is headquartered. The DAMRC is now 25 members strong, and Boeing continues to participate in projects and workshops designed to help make Danish industry more efficient and competitive.

Copenhagen Business School Students Tour Boeing in Seattle

On a recent Saturday in May, a group of students and two professors from the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark spent an afternoon as guests of Boeing in Seattle. Wayne Chauncey, the capture team leader for Boeing's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet offering in the Danish New Combat Aircraft competition, started off the day with an overview of Boeing, followed by a tour of Boeing's commercial airplane manufacturing facility. A group of students from Copenhagen Business School and The students were impressed by the sheer size of the professors Ms. Britta Gammelgaard and Mr. Günter Prock visited Everett facility, which is the world’s largest building by volume (at The Boeing Company at the Everett facility, home of Boeing’s 747, more than 13.3 million cubic metres), covering nearly 40 hectares 767, 777 and 787 airplanes.

But it was a figure delivered to students in a briefing after the tour that really got their attention: Boeing procured 783 million parts in one year for its commercial aircraft alone. The students – who are studying supply chain management – heard about Boeing’s immense global supply chain from Tom McGuigan, senior manager in the company’s supplier management division. Boeing’s supply chain relies upon products made by hundreds of companies from around the world, from commodities like sheet metal to high-tech aviation systems to innovative environmental control systems. McGuigan said he hopes the students came away with an understanding of what it takes to create a competitive advantage through supply chain management. “I told them we know we’re achieving our objectives when we consistently get top-quality products at the right time and at the right price,” he said. “And we’re doing it right when suppliers prefer to work with Boeing.” Following McGuigan's presentation, the students also learned more about Boeing's $32 billion global Defense, Space and Security business. “As the largest aerospace company in the world that combines both civil aerospace and defense solutions, Boeing brings a unique set of capabilities and opportunities other companies can't match,” Chauncey said. “And, our combined base of 26,000 suppliers can provide enormous opportunities for Danish industry.”

Australia Adds EA-18Gs to its Defence Forces

The Commonwealth of Australia announced in May that it will increase Australian Defence Force capabilities with the addition of 12 Boeing EA-18G Growlers. The Growler is the only air combat platform that delivers full-spectrum airborne electronic attack capability along with targeting and self-defense capabilities. It is derived from the F/A- 18E/F Block II Super Hornet and, together, those aircraft provide a As threats evolve, the Super Hornet and Growler duo (shown) are customer with substantial capability along with significant positioned for seamless integration into any battle scenario, offering efficiencies in terms of production, cost and maintenance. The customers the flexibility to choose capabilities that meet their Growler electronic warfare aircraft was used very effectively by the mission requirements.(Photo: Boeing) U.S. Navy during allied air operations in Libya. The Royal Australian Air Force currently operates 24 Super Hornets, all of which were delivered on budget and ahead of schedule. It will receive its 12 EA-18G Growlers to operate alongside its 24 Super Hornets. When Australia in 2007 made the decision to buy 24 Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets, the intention was to have the aircraft fill a capability gap while the country was waiting to receive the Joint Strike Fighter. However, Australia has now decided to make the Super Hornet a permanent part of its fighter force. “When the Super Hornets were purchased there was a view that Super Hornets would provide effectively a transition capability, a transition capability between the Classic Hornets and the Joint Strike Fighter. I think it’s now become clear to all that the Super Hornets are potentially much more than simply a transition fleet,” said Australian Minster of Defence Stephen Smith at a press conference on Dec 13, 2012. The Australian government has also made a decision to look into the purchase of an additional 24 Super Hornets to complement its existing fleet and bring the total number of Super Hornets and Growlers in the RAAF up to 48 aircraft.
