STEP use in Industry
STEP is being used in production for streamlined data exchange with suppliers
STEP adopted for all F-16 Military Fighter Aircraft production re-bid activitiesRecent major re-bid of F-16 machined parts:
Involved about 2300 part numbers and 50 potential suppliersSTEP provided 95% reduction in printing and reproduction costs and 52% reduction in labor by the prime contractor, not including similar savings by the suppliers
Lockheed Martin plans to implement STEP across all new aircraft programs which use CAD (F-22, F-2, T-50, JSF, etc.) and at all sites in the consolidated Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company

STEP is currently in production use for the exchange of solid model design data with many external customers including:
Allied Signal CaterpillarAtlas Casting U.S. Department of DefenseAvondale Industries Lunn IndustriesBath Iron Works (BIW) U.S. Navy LabsBF Goodrich Newport News ShipbuildingBoeing Northrop Grumman
Electric Boat uses STEP as their data exchange method of choice
10
Boeing routinely uses STEP in every division of the companyCommercial AirplanesIntegrated Defense SystemsPhantom Works
“Use of STEP for production activities is so commonplace that wedon’t track it anymore.”
Dr. King YeeSenior Technical FellowThe Boeing Corporation
STEP is being used in production at Boeing today
11
STEP comprises over 25% of IBM's globale-procurement design data exchange

Conclusions and RecommendationsISO STEP AP 209 can capture the data and metadata
for composite beam structures at each stage of the design-build process. It is the only standard that linksCAD/CAE and PLM data for composite structures.
AP 209 is highly recommended for composite data and metadata exchange by design-build teams. It reduces risk.
Best practices for using AP 209 in Ply-Zone-Propertyiterations should be followed. Iterative composite designshould not recover individual ply data every iteration.
