| Business DEX (UK_Defence022):— change_information | Date: 2009/04/16 15:26:42 Revision: 1.3 |
The business objects introduced in the Business Information Overview section are modelled in PLCS through a set of business templates. Most business templates are based upon one or more generic PLCS templates. They may be specializations of a PLCS template using one or more classifications or characterizations to capture the required information, whilst some rename and use restricted parameters.
This section summarizes the mappings of the business objects to the corresponding templates.

Business Object |
Business Object Definition |
Business Template(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Message | This information object represents a communication of the Configuration Management Breakdown. The method by which the message is communicated is various. | UK_Defence.message |
| Change Definition | This information object represents the definition of an individual change to a configuration item, from its pre change state to its post change state. | UK_Defence.change_definition |
| Change Relationship | This information object represents the cause/effect relationship between two Changes. | UK_Defence.change_relationship |
| Change Impact | This information object represents an impact that the related change would have if it were implemented. | UK_Defence.change_impact |
| Change Effectivity | This information object represents the effectivity of a change to the product to which it is applicable. | UK_Defence.change_effectivity |
| Configuration Item | This information object represents the identification of, and the reference to, an item that is subject to formal Configuration Management processes throughout its life. |
UK_Defence.configuration_item
Note - this is effectively a breakdown element. |
| Justification | This information object represents a justification for a decision or for something having been done. | UK_Defence.justification |
| Status Assignment | This information object represents the record of the assignment of a status to a subject. This can be used for example to assign approvals to documents, status to deliveries, or dispositions to design changes (requested, proposed, authorized etc). | UK_Defence.status_assignment |
| Document | This information object represents reference material that follows a formal change approval mechanism. |
UK_Defence.document
and UK_Defence.related_documents |
| Document Association | This information object represents the association of a Document with another information object. Example uses of this may be to associate policy or standards documents with Task objects or to associate drawings with Product Design objects. | |
| Failure | This information object represents information about the an actual failure of an individual product. | |
| Health Hazard | This information object represents information about an identified health hazard arising as a result of normal operation of an item. NOTE: This includes all aspects of operation of the system, including operational use, maintenance, installation, decommissioning etc. as well as the potential impact on indirect uses and users, such as the effect on bystanders. It also includes different states of system operation and the conditions which emerge as a result of those different states. |
The modelling of Health Hazard is dependent upon the concept of Risk, which is not currently part of the underlying PLCS standard (edition 1). The template for this is currently defered until Risk is made available. |
| Requirement | This information object represents a statement of need by a person or organization. | |
| Record | This information object represents a permanent statement for preserving the memory or knowledge of facts, activities or events. | UK_Defence.record |
| Product | This information object represents the information about a physical instance of a Product Design. Individual products are typically identified by a serial number, and batches are typically identified by a batch number. Both of these would be captured by the referenced Identifier information object. | UK_Defence.product |
