product_usage_feedback

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
Cumulative Product Usage Feedback	This information object represents the cumulative product usage at a particular point in time.	UK_Defence.cumulative_product_usage_feedback
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
Event	This information object represents an unexpected event, or happening, at a point in time.	UK_Defence.event
Event Property Relationship	This information object represents the relationship between an event and the property values that were extant at the time of the event.	UK_Defence.event_property_relationship
Mission	This information object represents an activity that is an operational mission of a specified type.	UK_Defence.mission
Nato Item of Supply Specification	This information object represents a specification for a codified item of supply, identified by its Nato Stock Number (NSN). The specification includes the information required to configure and manage the MoD supply chain.	UK_Defence.nato_item_of_supply_specification
Operational Theatre	This information object represents a generic type of operational theatre in which platforms, systems and equipments may operate and be supported.	UK_Defence.operational_theatre
Product	This information object represents the information about a physical instance of a Product Design. Individual products are typically identified by a serial number.	UK_Defence.product
Product Composition	This information object represents the composition of a Product in terms of the parent and child relationships that exist between the constituent Products.	UK_Defence.product_composition
Product Constituent List	This information object represents the direct relationship between an end item product and the constituent products that form part of it. Breakdown and assembly parent/child relationships are NOT meant to be represented by this object, and no intermediate structural layers are meant to be defined by it.	UK_Defence.product_constituent_list
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 characteristics (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
Product Event	This information object represents and event that happens to a product.	UK_Defence.product_event
Product Role	This information object represents a role that a product can perform.	UK_Defence.product_role
Product Role Fit	This information object represents the relationship between a named product role and the actual assemblies that constitute it. It is assumed that the relationships instantiated are in addition to the "base configuration" that is established by product composition relationships under each product. That is, if a relationship of this type is created (for example connecting a "bombing role" with a product composition relationship between a "bomb bay" and a "bomb"), the meaning is that the "bomb" is the additional item that is fitted to the "bomb bay" to change the product from the "base configuration" to the "bombing role". The "base configuration" itself could be explicitly defined using this relationship by connecting the "base configuration" to every product composition that constitutes it, but it is not anticipated that would add significant value	UK_Defence.product_role_fit
Product Usage Feedback	This object represents information related to the operation of the PSE.	UK_Defence.product_usage_feedback
Product Usage Parameter	This information object represents the record of a usage parameter that is measured during the related product usage.	UK_Defence.product_usage_parameter
Property	This information object represents a property that defines a functional, physical or financial aspect of the information object that it is a property of.	UK_Defence.property
Property Change Relationship	This information object represents a relationship between two properties where one is a subsequent value to the prior value. This is required where for example, the increments/decrements in the value of a property need to be able to be calculated from the two referenced properties.	UK_Defence.property_change_relationship
Required PSE Constituent Usage Phase	This information object represents the definition of a usage phase of a PSE constituent.	UK_Defence.required_pse_constituent_usage_phase
Security Classification Assignment	This information object represents the assignment of a security classification to a subject.	UK_Defence.security_classification_assignment
Support Feedback	This information object represents feedback from the implementation of support solutions. It may include factual information about - product usage, state and anomalies, - activities and their resources, - assessment of performance of aspects of a support solution, - assessment of performance of the supply chain	UK_Defence.product_usage_feedback UK_Defence.cumulative_product_usage_feedback
