Concept
Target is to allow medium size companies to stay in business with EADS and to gain the position to bid on bigger work package requests under the umbrella of Philotech / PhiloNet with a focus on:
- Extended portfolio in all aviation fields (competence cluster)
- Coverage of full life cycle of aviation systems
- Lean organization and project management to minimize overhead cost
- Shared Risk Assessment throughout all project phases by all participating partners
- Ouality Management system according to EN 9100 or individual QM arrangements
for dedicated work packages - Partners in PhiloNet keeping their independence and identity as autonomous companies
How does co-operation work
Philotech subcontracts complete projects or project portions to subcontracting partners.
PhiloNet is open for additional regional, national as well as for international partners with aeronautical expertise to support the growing demand of our customers in work package contracts for engineering services.
PhiloNet is not limited to EADS Business Units. Cooperation in other business fields with similar technologies and applications is enforced in the follwing areas:
- Rail
- Automotive
- Defence Industry
- Naval Systems and Ships
- Environment and Energy
- Telecommunication and Radio Systems
- Healthcare and Medical Systems
Should partners be in a prime contractor position in those areas Philotech and other partners are certainly willing to take the subcontracting position.
