The article discusses the challenges faced in hip replacement surgeries, particularly in cases where the patient has outlived the lifespan of the hip prosthesis, which is typically between 15 to 20 years. When a prosthesis fails, a revision surgery is carried out to replace the components. However, a significant challenge faced during implant revision surgery is that the pelvic bone stock is often significantly reduced. Ten-year failure rates of primary hip replacements are estimated at 11.4%. This number more than doubles to 25.6% in case of revisions. In over 58% of those revision failures, the acetabular component is involved. To deal with these challenges, a custom approach is most suitable.

Dassault Aviation’s Falcon Spare Parts department needed to provide a consolidated view of all spare parts information worldwide. The division was managing a global network of more than 80,000 spare parts which required precise logistical coordination. Over the years, each site has come to rely on its different solutions to locate the appropriate spare parts but, as a company, they did not have an overall and global view of their data. Moreover, these different solutions use different technologies – mainframe-based or client-server – which contributed to the isolation of each of their sites. To gain in efficiency, they needed a consolidated view of all their spare parts from any of their locations.

Wittur, a leading manufacturer of elevator components, modules and systems, faced a challenge following a series of acquisitions. The company needed to leverage the massive amount of diverse data across its globally-located plants and to increase part reuse. As it acquired companies and established production plants and sales organizations around the world, Wittur found itself faced with a diverse IT environment that prevented its employees from easily finding and leveraging all of its information. Data was stored in different legacy SQL databases each with their own material codes, norms and structure, which had to be sifted through individually. This was extremely time-consuming. Another challenge was to reduce the number of duplicate parts in its system. The engineers were having difficulty finding existing parts for new projects, so they preferred redesigning them, even though, in many cases, a similar part existed. This continuous duplication of parts required additional storage space. It also drove up costs as redesigning a part includes R&D, manufacturing, testing, logistics and inventory, all activities that could be avoided if they could just find an existing part to fit the bill.
