SLICwave S1000D

SLIC/S1000D Product Overview

Leverage Your Supportability Analysis Data to Create (and Maintain) Your S1000D Data Modules.

ITechnical documentation is one of the most important products of supportability analysis, and one of the most expensive. SLICwave’s new S1000D Interface Module provides you with unparalleled opportunities to save time and money while improving your overall data quality. The interface module re-purposes the maintenance task data created in your SLICwave logistics system to produce S1000D Data Modules for import into your S1000D authoring system.

Single Common Repository of Supportability/Maintenance Data

The SLICwave/S1000D Interface Module supplies a dynamic and powerful bridge between your Logistics Support data and your Common Source Data Base (CSDB), offering complete visibility over all your supportability data through life cycle for your program models and variants. This provides you with a single “database of authority” for task description, support equipment, spares, supplies, manpower resources identified in the maintenance task analysis and other S1000D data modules. The powerful focus and re-use of your support data provides a huge benefit in cost and schedule reduction, as well as overall improvement in data quality. Additionally, unlike other LSA-S1000D interface tools, which may allow initial creation (or full-file replacement) of S1000D data modules from a (static) LSAR data dump, SLICwave’s S1000D interface module provides the ability to create ongoing “changes” Data Modules, so that the LSA can be used to update the CSDB as part changes occur.

Benefits

Repurpose your Maintenance Task Analysis data from your LSA to create and manage your S1000D Data Modules; the data definition produced and updated in the LSA can be imported into the CSDB of your choice.
Maintain a “database of authority” in your LSA for the maintenance task description and task resources (BOM, support equipment, spares, supplies, and manpower): changes in the LSA are propagated to your S1000D Data Modules.
Reduce the cost of ongoing program changes through SLICwave and SLICwave /S1000D automated resource tracking/management.
Manage on-going changes to your database. Use SLIC/CM-L to assess the impact of product data changes in the LSAR (including reviewing effect on tech pubs) while still making updates from your baseline. Once authorized, “changes” data modules can be released to your CSDB.
Eliminate duplication of effort, utilizing a single point of focus for data review and management (including validation/verification). This results in improved data quality and reduced time to complete/deliver.
Use the DM creation capability of SLICwave to facilitate data exchange between suppliers and OEM. Suppliers can deliver tech data as defined S1000D Data Modules, and the OEM can manage these in a single repository CSDB.
Build forward with the DOD’s new supportability analysis standard, GEIA-STD-0007. SLICwave is using the S1000D interface capability, plus increased granularity of maintenance data, which is built in to this new standard.
Receive better visibility to your data and processes for decision support through life cycle via SLICwave’s powerful set of integrated tools .
Use SLICwave’s S1000D Common Data Viewer to streamline the technical documentation process while improving data quality. This Common Data Viewer gives you update access to your LSA source data while presenting the information as your users/authors will see it, using your S1000D stylesheets.
Streamline technical publication creation/management among OEM and suppliers by using SLICwave as the common source for the maintenance task/technical documentation (i.e. LSA and S1000D CSDB). Since SLICwave can be used to create S1000D Data Modules directly, suppliers can create DMs and deliver these to the OEM for import to a single CSDB repository.
Comply with the evolving government/industry support of Industry, Commercial and International product data standards for supportability data (i.e. GEIASTD-0007 rev A, ASD S1000D/ S3000L, ISO 10303 AP 239)

Many companies are embarking on strategic program data re-purposing initiatives to optimize cost, schedule and quality. Call ISS today and see how you can join them.
