What makes SpaceX or Tesla so fast at innovating?
One secret is their product lifecycle management. By connecting the data from design, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance, the changes introduced by one part of the organisation get immediately shared with the rest of the organisation. Engineering and regulatory requirements are automatically verified. And everyone can work on the same latest version.
Antoine,
@GrivetMathilde and Charles faced the same challenge at
@jimmy_energy_, building micro nuclear reactors to decarbonise industrial heat. And they came up with a very ingenious solution. They built a solution enabling them to describe all their systems using Python, synchronise all the teams with Github, enable quality checks with pull requests, and automate the verification of regulatory requirements with Github Actions.
The result: a big update in their design takes them days instead of the many months expected in their industry. And the result is much safer, because the checks are automated and the relationships coded in Python prevent copy-pasting errors.
Their solution is impressive and they are open about sharing it, so feel free to contact them if you have similar needs!
