Life cycle
Our product innovation life cycle process ensures we take a holistic approach to creating economic, environmental and social benefits - from the design and manufacture of our products to their end-of-life. This approach supports industry comitments such as the Business Aviation Commitment on Climate Change.
Every Bombardier product – including the Global 7500 aircraft – goes through our product innovation life cycle. This five-step process ensures we’re innovating at every stage, which allows us to exceed customer expectations and deliver exceptional products.
The 5 stages

We consider health, safety, environment and efficiency in the design phase of our product life cycle, enabling us to develop innovative solutions.
2. SUPPLY CHAIN AND PRODUCTION
We undertake a rigorous supplier selection process to ensure we source the best materials and technologies to bring our designs to life.
3. MANUFACTURING AND TESTING
We integrate health, safety and environment at every stage of the manufacturing process and conduct rigorous product testing to ensure high performance.
4. PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE
We actively engage with our customers to ensure a safe and outstanding passenger experience and the best environmental performance.
5. END-OF-LIFE
We are working closely with industry organizations, researchers and suppliers to increase product recoverability.
