HISTORY Meeting held, back in July 02, with MoD, R-R & UKCeB to

discuss joint opportunities for “Early Implementation” of PLCS.

This and subsequent discussion agreed Early Implementation would be in the interest of both organisations.

Proposed the Early Implementation should address The data requirements for operating TC/CLS (Total Care /Contracted Logistic Support)

type contracts. This should include feedback and use of operational data.

Early Implementation would involve a Project and a Software Application. Proposals for the project was Marine Olympus/Tyne

R-R & MoD Early Implementation of PLCS

APPROACH Early Implementation will enable

Understanding of what is involved in applying PLCS Major problem identification and support positioning for future implementation Development of a “template” for the implementation process Opportunity for R-R & MoD to work together to start the process of realising our

investment in PLCS Demonstration, to Government and Industry, of what can be achieved Actual benefit to current business from application of PLCS

Programme being finalised for Early Implementation to align with PLCS deliverables starting Oct 02 through Mar 03.

Assumes PLCS Modules will be progressively complete by Dec 02 and clear ballot by Mar 03 with Draft IS by May 03 cleared ballot by Oct 03.

Assumes Marine Olympus Tyne contract in place end 03.

REVISED PLAN Initial Meeting held at Abbey Wood, 28 October 02, involving IPT (Paul

Denton) MoD (Margaret Christison/Mike Newton) & R-R (Nigel Walker). While there were concerns on the current operation actions were in hand to

achieve Improved performance. Data availability & exchange was not considered a major driver but it was

accepted there is no current automated exchange and much additional data would be required for TC.

Work on data exchange had been undertaken before (previous report) and although not actioned could be used as the basis of the “As Is” situation.

MoD would fund mapping “As Is” to PLCS to understand gaps/opportunities. R-R would identify “To Be” requirements & map to PLCS. On completion of mapping agreement would be required on way forward.

EI Programme Main Milestones Phase 0 – Objectives & Approach Phase 1 - Planning & Set-up Phase 2 - Implementation

Define the changes, or requirements, for the software interface to achieve standardised export/import capability for each system (implement a DEX/DEX’s)

Develop software, or software changes, necessary to support each DEX Agree business protocol and processes for data exchange Test and validate the business exchange processes Agree adoption of proven exchange capability for program

“AS IS” Report funded by MoD produced by LSC, Aug 03 “To Be” Report funded by R-R produced by LSC, draft Dec 03 Now moving to implement recommendation for a e-logbook based on DEX

delivery

One of the deliverables is to put in place an R-R e-logbook• New build ships are being built “electronically” and similar ideas for managing rotables are

already emerging for Air vehicles. Concept will be needed by Air, Sea and Land for all Complex equipments

• Technical Datum Packs will be delivered in electronic form, thus the new concept of a “Digital Ship” is forming. e-Logbook will be a component of the Digital ship

• Thus GTCU APSI +history will slot into the parent ship information model (Digital Ship) when it is installed. Similarly when it is removed for overhaul it is simply un attached.

• The e-Logbook would contain exactly the same information as the PLCS Information flow

• Contains more information than paper logbook• Collection and maintenance of information becomes easier• Relates to concept of Product Configuration Information in PLCS• May also relate to plan for Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM)

• For existing platforms and equipment the e-logbook can be provided as a CD with the product and a laptop, the content is maintained and re-cut to the CD for return to R-R on a regular basis and on equipment removal.

• The e- Logbook is seen as essential step if ISO 10303 STEP (PLCS) standard to be realised.


8PLCS Inc. (c) 2002

E-Logbook Stage 1 Create and populate an e-logbook by implementing the required sub-set of the

total AP239 information schema to support the creation of an e-logbook for Olympus and Tyne marine gas turbine engines

This EI be of a prototype nature and will be created in Oracle Populate the implemented schema with the information content e-logbooks

for a ship set of two actual GTCUs of each type Provide an initial viewing mechanism of the e-logbook content. Write the URD and SRD for the necessary software components to Support

use of the e-logbook across the extended enterprise. The URD & SRD should specify the requirements for functionality

E-Logbook Stage 2 Create an initial operational capability

Further Stages Identified in “To Be” Report R-R order launched Feb 04 for LSC to action Stage 1
