Stamford, CT (PRWEB) July 14, 2005 -- CPD Associates (CPDA) announces that Robert W. Manney, Vice President, Deputy for Engineering, at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, will join Bombardier Aerospaces Donna McAleenan, and DaimlerChryslers Roger Lundberg as a keynote speaker at its annual PLM Road Map conference, to be held on September 28 and 29 at The Dearborn Inn, Dearborn, Michigan.
Manneys presentation, Managing Engineering Requirements to Facilitate a Customer Vision, will demonstrate how complex engineering projects all share one common characteristic; the need to understand the customers vision. That need in turn involves the development of top-level technical attributes, decomposition and allocation of detailed requirements, and enslaving yourself as a program manager to continuously monitoring the progress in meeting these requirements. The presentation will present several examples of modern engineering challenges to draw parallels between the execution of dissimilar engineering projects and proven engineering disciplined approaches. Also, the consequences of ignoring this discipline due to budgets or schedule pressures will be illustrated.

About Robert W. Manney
Robert (Bob) W. Manney has served as Vice President, Deputy for Engineering, for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company since June 2003. In this role, he has responsibility for the deployment and prioritization of Engineering resources including people, processes, tools, facilities and labs for all Aeronautics programs.
From June 2000 to June 2003, Bob was Program Director of the most advanced F 16 ever produced, the Block 60 Desert Falcon. Previously, he served as Director, JSF System Engineering Integration Team, responsible for the implementation of system engineering at the air system level. The system engineering approach developed and recorded in the proposal was instrumental in LM Aero winning the JSF Program.
Bob also served as Director of the Engineering Core Software Center and later the Weapon System Integration Center where he was responsible for processes, tools, and trained engineers to perform design tasks associated with aircraft development.
A graduate of New Mexico State University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Bob joined Lockheed Martin as a Technical Representative supporting the F-111 aircraft at several Air Force bases. Later, he held numerous positions of increasing responsibility during the development of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
