Configuration Edition

A baselined version of a specific product configuration in ILS-DB, corresponding to a configuration baseline in Teamcenter™.

Configuration Item

A conceptual product (or system, or function), whose constituents or realizations may differ between product variants.
A configuration item have revisions (versions) and must be managed and tracked in product design and maintenance alike. It may be of a functional nature, or represent a system, or conceptual equipment.

Configuration Item Baseline

A collection of specific revisions of Configuration Item Nodes and their realized Parts, that together represent a meaningful whole.
With the approval of a baseline a development task at Saab is completed and its result is ready for being communicated to others.
Also called Configuration Item Node Baseline.

Configuration Item Node

A representation of a Configuration Item in Saab's PDM-system.
A leaf Configuration Item Node is classified as a "Realized CIN", and is always realized as at least one Part (assembly or component).

Configuration Item Node Structure

A hierarchical structure of Configuration Item Nodes (CIN). This structure is often referred to as a CIN-structure, and sometimes as a configuration item structure.

Maintenance Action

A representation of a task in ILS-DB.
A Maintenance Action defines the task (including subtasks), required_resources and an estimated duration.

Maintenance Object

A representation of an object that requires maintenance.
A Maintenance Object (MO) is either a type of product, such as a Part or specific Equipment, or a conceptual item, such as a function, system, or physical item.
MOs exists in the Saab system ILS-DB, and corresponds to Configuration Item Nodes and Equipments in Saab's PDM-system. In PLCS, Maintenance Objects could be represented as a Breakdown Element, or as in this DEX, as a Scheme.
