Product in Focus

The product in scope and its component assemblies and parts. Can be either a part, or an element in a logical breakdown structure of a defined end item. This is normally defined by an End Item Acronym Code.

Product Models

The product in focus can have different versions of the product, each of which, has a different breakdown. Models are normally identified by a Usable on Code.

Serialized Models

The product in focus can have versions that are identified by blocks of serial numbers. Each block of serial numbers represents a different model of the product.

Breakdown Physical/Functional

The product in focus and its product model breakdowns can be represented via a physical breakdown (e.g. follows the design drawing structure) or a functional breakdown (e.g. represents functions of the product, propulsion, fuel, communications, etc). Breakdowns may also be hybrid or zonal.

Breakdown Elements

The identifier assigned to each physical or functional element in the breakdown of the product. An Logistics Support Analysis Control Number is normally used for the breakdown element.

Part

The realization of a breakdown element normally derived from the engineering design or the product data model.

Transportability Constraints

Captures the transportability characteristics of the product in focus, its product models and specific breakdown elements that can be transported separately from the product. Transportability characteristics include product dimensions, weight, lifting and tie down points, turning radius, self deployment distances, etc.

Part Characteristics

Pertinent information regarding each part numbered item in the breakdown of a product in focus and associated common and bulk material. Parameters include part number, contractor and government entity code, item name, unit price, quantity per next higher breakdown element, etc.

Cataloging Elements

That information required to register the part with the Department of Defense Logistics Agency or NATO and obtain a national/NATO stock number or register the part with an existing national/NATO stock number.
