MXD SELECTS ANARK COLLABORATE

BOULDER, Colo -- The Digital Manufacturing Institute (MxD) has selected Anark
Collaborate to demonstrate a visionary solution for supplier collaboration. This
project seeks to modernize acquisition and supply chain activities to improve
acquisition and production lead times for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
Additional objectives include improved decision traceability, synchronized
version control, and a standard communication framework across sourcing
activities.

While file based Technical Data Packages are intended to contain all the
necessary data about a product, these files lack context and insight from the
experts that create them. The evolution from Technical Data Packages to a
Technical Data Portal connects product data with the people and conversations
that matter in a single digital platform.

> “We are very excited to start this project with Anark as we assist in the
> digital transformation for the organic industrial base, DLA, and DoD at large.
> Improving communication around engineering data across the supply chain will
> enable U.S. manufacturers to support the modern warfighter in a way that is
> cost effective for all.” – Federico Sciammarella, President and CTO at MxD

Over the next year MxD and Anark will demonstrate how an integrated supplier
portal that features contextual collaboration can help the DoD and suppliers of
all sizes resolve procurement issues before they happen. The solution will solve
supply chain challenges as outlined in the MxD RFQ 21-19 entitled TDP Data
Exchange Demonstration:

> “The Defense Logistics Agency purchases products on behalf of all the branches
> of service. They are tasked with collecting all the required
> product-defining-data before soliciting for bid. The files collected are in
> many different formats, bound by many distribution rules, and sometimes
> require specialized skillsets to manipulate the data. All the collection time
> adds to the lead time to get products where they need to be. After procurement
> if issues arise it is very difficult to trace back to activities around the
> transaction to take advantage of lessons learned or data collected from a
> supplier.”
