Introduction <framework/focus>

The international specification S1000D provides the general framework for the procurement and production of technical publications. The framework defined in S1000D has to be considered in context of • the business landscape for military aviation which already exists and evolved across

the years in Airbus Defence and Space in the different departments around the technical publications organization

• the specific (logistic) demands in the different military aviation projects as well as in

relation to the different customers.

Focus of this presentation is to inform the audience about practical

oriented solutions and initiatives in Airbus Defence and Space, Technical Information and Data – Combat A/C.

Introduction <framework/experiences>

• Methods: In addition to the technical content itself a big amount of formal regulations/specifications have to be considered for the programme/customer specific usage of the different S1000D Schema during production of data modules for technical publications. The Technical Author can not purely focus on technical content during production of technical publications.

• Processes: Several stakeholders - on Industry and Customer side - with different roles and responsibilities as well as dependencies are (directly) involved in the technical publications process. A lot of (technical) data from different sources are to be used and integrated in the business process for production of data modules for technical publications.

• Tools: Several IT Tools are to be used for the production and management of technical publications.

Introduction <framework/requirements>

Affordable product support by efficient customer/programme oriented application of the S1000D framework in the areas of METHODS, PROCESSES and TOOLS.

Methods: Produce/generate the customer/programme specific regulations (“customize S1000D”).

Processes: Customize the processes to integrate all stakeholders (roles/responsibilites) and to meet customer/programme requirements (“customize processes”).

Processes/Tools: Integrate, manage the technical data from different disciplines which are relevant for production and usage of technical publications based on customer/programme requirements (“customize process/tool landscape”).

Methods <regulations/customized-solutions>

Specific national logistic demands (eg, SASPF)

National logistic demands has to be considered on the superior level.

Example:

Based on the implementation of SASPF on german customer side all processes for maintenance planning and material planning (“IH processes”) will be converted to SASPF.

The “IH Stammdaten” (master data for maintenance planning and material planning) in SASPF correspond to the technical publications plus the relevant IP data. Therefore it is not possible to consider the “IH Stammdaten” in SASPF independently of the technical publications and the IP data.

Customize S1000D: The following example describes the national methodical approach of the German Air Force (GAF) how to produce project specific regulations (Business Rules for a project / project specific Guidance Document).

S1000D / S2000M

S2000M:

International specification for material management.

Integrated data processing for military equipment.

S1000D:

International specification for technical publications utilizing a Common Source Data Base (CSDB).

National Style Guide (NSG) Is focusing on the national definition of SGML/XML elements and attributes based on S1000D for German Armed Forces

Is including the rules for automatized checks of XML Data Modules (with the StyleCheckerBw).

DB S2000M Is focusing on the national regulations for German Armed Forces concerning the execution of the S2000M chapters 1A, 1B and 1C.

Defines the collaboration between the relevant stakeholders from a German Air Force point of view.

“Muster Guidance Document” of German Air Force (MGD L)

For the specific demand of German Air Force the regulations of S1000D/S2000M and NSG as well as SASPF requirements will be precised in the “Muster Guidance Document Luft” (MGD L). The “Muster Guidance Document” (MGD L) is the basis for the production of a project specific Guidance Document (psGD). The psGD is the technical and legal basis for the production of S1000D/S2000D data in the specific project.

“project specific Guidance Document” (psGD) Based on the MGD L each project of German Air Force has to produce its psGD.

The psGD includes the project specific regulations for the production and provision of technical publications and IP data (under consideration of national IETD and SASPF requirements).

Methods <regulations/expectations>

In the area of Methods the following aspects are to be considered: – A standardized production of customer/programme specific regulations (Business Rules, project

specific Guidance Document) in the frame of S1000D shall be supported by suitable applications (eg, “Guidance Document generator”)

– An automatized production of customer/programme specific BREX data modules based on a standardized recording of relevant regulations shall be supported by suitable applications (eg, “BREX DM generator” which is converting the recorded regulations automatically in a BREX data module).

– Reduction of the number of Business Rules Decision Points by further standardization in the specification S1000D itself (reduction of the variation and complexity in the different programmes and its specific regulations). Principle “one business case, one option”.

– Modularization of S1000D (scalable modular design, “S1000D light”) based on standardized criteria (eg, type/size of project and therefore required scope of technical publications). Definition of a S1000D kernel and an optional scope based on specific demands (“modular design principle”).

Why do we need ProSiT? • Technical publications are required for maintenance, flight-tests and type-

certification. Therefore special requirements in terms of product assurance (PA) in the technical publications business process are to be considered.

• With the introduction of ProSiT all PA activities follow a controlled and paperless way. This improves our PA processes and provides traceability by electronic archiving of all workflows.

• ProSiT deals as the single environment for a paper-less office and digital signatures in Airbus Defence and Space, Technical Information and Data – Combat A/C.

Processes and Tools <expectations>

Affordable product support by efficient customer/programme oriented application of the S1000D framework in the areas of PROCESSES and TOOLS.

In the area of PROCESSES and TOOLS the following aspects are to be considered: − An efficient production/update of technical publications requires an integration of the

Technical Data (Information Elements) from all other disciplines which are relevant for technical publications (also to ensure traceability on ILS level [“Logistic Information Repository”]).

− To avoid duplications in management of Technical Data across the disciplines a definition of the Owner and User for every Technical Data (Information Element) is required.

− To ensure an efficient handling/routing of Customer Feedback in both directions a precise workflow for every Customer Feedback type has to be defined

• from customer to the owner of the affected Technical Data (Information Element) on Industry side

• from the owner of the affected Technical Data (Information Element) to all involved disciplines to ensure a consistent and as much as possible an automatized update of the different deliverables (eg TechPubs, IPL/IPC, Training Information).

Standardized definitions on ILS Specs level.
