Who is Bombardier?
Bombardier’s legendary founder, Joseph-Armand Bombardier is
credited with building one of the world’s first snowmobiles in
1935. Today, Bombardier is a multinational designer and
manufacturer of business jets and rail with annual revenues of
more than $16B USD. Bombardier is the third largest
commercial jet producer behind Boeing and Airbus, the world’s
leader in regional aircraft production, and boasts the widest
range of business jets in the marketplace. Bombardier’s
continued growth and diversification was propelled by major
acquisitions of various military, business jet, and aerospace
businesses throughout the 1990s.
Bombardier employs a workforce of approx. 70,000 and is
organized into four core product and service lines: (1) business

2. aircraft (2) regional aircraft (3) amphibious aircraft and (4)
defense services. Including complimentary services such as
aircraft charters, fractional ownership and leasing of business
jets, aircraft maintenance, and pilot and maintenance training
programs and curriculums.
While Boeing and Airbus focus primarily on large commercial
jets (i.e. capacity of 110 – 400), Bombardier’s bread and butter
is regional aircraft that seat less than 100 passengers and
business jets. Bombardier has gone through a major restructure
and streamlining initiative in recent years with major
divestments across their portfolio to set a renewed focus on
their corporate aviation/private jet business, officially selling
their stake in the A220 (C Series) program to Airbus and their
Transportation business to Alstom in recent months.

Business Challenges in Bombardier after Aquicisition
(Bombardier Manufacturing System; MACPAC Platform)
Inheriting the data, processes, and systems of each company
acquired.
Communicating with each other ineffectively by using old
systems
Sharing data between manufacturing facilities is difficult

3. Suffering labour mobility because skills for operate information

The BMIS Project
The first project launched to realize a wider ERP strategy and a
vision of an integrated organization (One Company).
Supporting Bombardier Aerospace’s oeperation
Foucing on the following processes: manufacturing,
procurement, finance, and the engineering data.
As I mentioned before, Bombardier has expanded by various

Quality requirements
Support Bombardier Aerospace’s operations
Support Manufacturing process
Support Procurement process
Support Finance
Overall Budget: $363 million
This system was intended to support Company’s
operations; it should focus on the processes that support
manufacturing, procurement, finance and

6. the engineering data required to support these processes.
The amount budgeted to implement the project is $363 million
Summary schedule
In 2000, the first implementation at Bombardier Aerospace was
discontinued during mid-project after spending $130 Million.
In 2001, the initiation of establishing the need for a new
integrated manufacturing system.
Oct, 2001, Projet charter for the Bombardier Manufaturing
Information System (BMIS) was authorized by senior project
mananger.
In 2002, Change requests (Methods and Engineering function’s
software supplier) were authorized.
April 2003, Reorganization of Procurement.
January 2004, Completion of new procurement functionalities
delayed to March
March 2004, Completion of new procurement functionalities
delayed to June
June 2004, Completion of new procurement functionalities.

scope of the project
By 2005, the project teams were able to use the valuable skills
and expertise
By 2005, the trainers had gained experienced and their
credibility with the users was good.

Q&A?
In order to develop one’s own sociological imagination and gain
insight into the social world, C. Wright Mills proposed that

8. people needed to be able to view their own society from the
perspective of an outsider. He suggested that our
personal/cultural bias often fogged our interpretation of the
world and left people misinformed as to the connectedness of
personal troubles to the structural conditions of society.
For this assignment students will visit a local toy store (or
online) and analyze specific toys using their sociological
imaginations. Students will need to think critically about the
powerful messages that marketers are trying to deliver. You will
start by looking and photographing toys that you believe would
be useful for the assignment, consider concepts such as gender,
sexuality, race, class, family roles, and other sociological
related ideas. Please include photos in your post.
Questions to consider for the analysis:
What group is this toy being marketed to? Are different
marketing strategies used for different groups? (Gender, race,
class, etc.) Might these strategies be offensive to certain
populations? Does the toy reinforce or violate norms? What is
the basis for the differences? Also consider the placement of
the toy in the store, colors, sizes, textures, and other aesthetics.
What other ideas are being represented? (Love, marriage, sex,
hetero-normality, family, social roles, youth, beauty, violence,
dominance, status, etc.) How do they relate to terms in your
book and ideas discussed in class? Feel to do some additional
research as well. (Use the Chapter on Socialization, Gender, and
Race for reference.)
How do these toys relate to the roles children will play as they
age through the life course? How might these messages dictate
the social positions people will take? How do they relate to

9. ideas of social structure, socialization, and inequality?
You can also choose to compile your findings into a
powerpoint if your choose to. Provide outside resources to
validate your statements. Cite at least 3 sources and respond to
a minimum of 2 of your classmates (150 words)
