2 Design process Mind the gap Mind the gap

3 The PLCS Key Business Problem How to keep the information needed to operate and maintain a product aligned with the changing product over its life cycle? Product Definition Information Transportation Maintenance Schedules Consumables Tools Test Equipment Product in focus Software Spares Support Facilities Training Storage Requirements

5 What s all the fuss about PLCS? Designs vs. actuals (individuals) Clear distinction between the design of things and the actual Functional Requirements 5. things, both kept in parallell. Requirements Management Multi-views 7. FMECA Past, present and LSA future! Design 9. Product Handle different BOM views (e.g. as-designed, asmanufactured and as-maintained) and link/trace between them. Different types of breakdowns Ability to explicitly handle different types of breakdowns e.g. physical and functional breakdowns LSA and FMECA link between them and to different BOM views. Results 1. Support The ability to handle different properties and record their values over time or against different views LSAR CAD Parts base have the ability to go LSA back and forth in time Capture and keep configurational changes and Full life-cycle coverage CM Support Part Support Including early design 14. phases with 4. the ability to 12. Defects handle Maintenance Depot requirements, Maint & Failure allocation, tracing and Management Mgmt Reporting Verification and Validation. 3. Stock Mgmt Defects and Failures Recording actions and processes Tech Pubs 13. Distribution, Transportation Distribution Maintenance Mgt The ability to record processes and other actions applied to the product (or done by the product). Tools and Equipment Ability Support to record subsidiary products such as tools and equipment and their use and properties. and Documents, of course! 2. Maintainers Viewing Tool 10. Managing the associated documents and other IETM information, such as models, related to the product and any subsidiary products.

7 Customer cases * 3 Kongsberg Scania BAE Systems

8 Kongsberg Challenge Share product data with customers and partners Kongsberg Consolidation of as-design, as-built and asmaintained Solution Configuration Management repository and customer Collaboration Portal using ShareAspace Business Benefit Improved quality in information deliveries BAE Systems Scania Reduced manual work creating information packages More efficient partner and customer communication

9 Scania Challenge Share product data with partner Scania Outsourced body design and manufacturing Consolidate as-built with as-maintained Feed back into Scania PLM and in-service platforms Kongsberg Solution ShareAspace portal to consolidate as-built with Scania model programs Business Benefits Reduced manual data input BAE Systems Improved data quality over lifecycle High traceability between as-built and asmaintained

10 BAE Systems Challenge Business transformation from spare parts sales to complete fleet management Maintain up-to-date physical configuration of delivered vehicles Provide accurate help-desk incl. warranty claims management Solution Through-Life Capabilities Portal based on ShareAspace and SharePoint Business Benefit Secure access to and reporting based on up-to-date physical configuration Efficient helpdesk through accessible integrated information and workflows New contracts enabled and increased revenue stream from after market business Scania Kongsberg BAE Systems

11 Bridges the gaps between domains Companies care little about the standard itself but have a huge interest in what benefits it can bring to the table! PLCS help in inter-domain communication Kongsberg PLCS is the fabric that makes the digital thread stick! Scania BAE Systems

12 The Extended Enterprise Development partner Development partner OEM 2 OEM Joint venture R & D DEX DEX Development partner OEM Joint venture R & D DEX OEM 1 Joint venture R & D OEM 3

13 What is a DEX? A division the PLCS information model into EXchange set (DEXs) suited for a particular business process. e.g: DEX: Product Breakdown for support DEX: Operational Feedback A DEX provides: subset of the information model usage guidance and examples a technical specification for implementers of PLCS Each DEX can be used: To contract against. To claim conformance to.

15 DEX SIMMT, messages and associated workflow

16 Customer Case DGA/SIMMT Challenge Well-defined way to contract for product data Acquire and take ownership of contracted product data Reusable approach independent of internal and suppliers systems DGA / SIMMT Solution Share-A-space as Secure Collaboration HUB with PLCS Business Benefits Stable contractual data exchange framework with OEMs Full ownership/mastership of the data and full use of SIM@T Extendable to new programs, to broader scopes with minimal impact

17 PLCS in the extended enterprise Digital thread

18 Summary PLCS holds a key for bridging information between multiple domains Automation lead to great savings Use a standard for defining information deliverables from partners and suppliers Standardized information exchange enable higher quality and control PLCS is in use!
