| Business DEX (UK_Defence052):— obsolescence_management | Date: 2010/03/11 08:23:22 Revision: 1.5 |
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 Templates |
|---|---|---|
| Message | This information object represents a communicated statement of events, activities, or outcomes that have happened. The method by which the message is communicated is various. | UK_Defence.message |
| Record | This information object represents a permanent statement for preserving the memory or knowledge of facts, activities or events. | UK_Defence.record |
| Configuration Item | This information object represents the identification of an item that has been designated for Configuration Management. | UK_Defence.configuration_item |
| Configuration Management Breakdown | Information that defines a breakdown that a project wishes to put in place as part of its Configuration Management Plan for the Supportability of the product. | UK_Defence.configuration_management_breakdown |
| Document | This information object represents reference material that follows a formal change approval mechanism. | UK_Defence.document |
| 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. | UK_Defence.document_association |
| Inventory Item | This represents the authorized quantities and locations of items of supply to be managed as part of an organization's inventory. | UK_Defence.inventory_item |
| Item of Supply | This information object represents an item that is managed by the supply chain. | UK_Defence.item_of_supply |
| Obsolescence Impact | This information object represents the impact of an obsolescence issue on the related PSE consituent. | UK_Defence.obsolescence_impact |
| Obsolescence Issue | This Information object represents a record of a item or service that might become obsolete. The information object also records the corresponding mitigation action. | UK_Defence.obsolescence_issue |
| Obsolescence Management Feedback | This information object represents feedback that originates from obsolescence management activities. | UK_Defence.obsolescence_management_feedback |
| Obsolescence Register | This Information object represents a collection of all the obsolescence issues to be managed | UK_Defence.obsolescence_register |
| Plan | This information object represents a scheme or method of acting, doing, proceeding or making, developed in advance. It may include the logic through which tasks are combined or otherwise related, their sequence and their resource requirements. | UK_Defence.plan |
| Product | This information object represents the information about physical instances 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 |
| Product Design | This information object represents the identification of the aggregated set of information that constitutes the detailed design
of a product.
Product designs can be of any "level" of product, from individual nuts and bolts, up to complete equipments, systems
and platforms.
Product designs are typically identified by a design authority part number, and when fully specified, will have
a detailed drawing/product model
associated with them that contain the level of detail that enables instances of the physical elements of the design
to be manufactured and/or assembled.
Those physical elements will be fully specified by their own Product Design.
Product designs will typically also have associated performance specifications, physical characteristcs
(such as dimensions, weight and material specifications), and other charateristics such as cost.
Prior to this level of detail being defined, the product design process may involve specification of functions,
conceptual physical design/general
layout design and identification of spatial zones within the design.
NOTE This information object is not meant to contain the detailed design information objects themselves (the goemetry, topology, dimensions, tolerances, material specification, surface finishes etc). It is meant to act as the single reference point to which all that other information relates. |
UK_Defence.product_design |
| Service | This information object represents the specification of a service in terms of the tasks and/or activities performed. | UK_Defence.service |
