| Business DEX (UK_Defence028):— support_concept | Date: 2009/05/05 13:08:44 Revision: 1.14 |
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.

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 |
| Constraint | This information object represents a requirement that is a specific limit that must be complied with. | UK_Defence.constraint |
| Support Context | This information object represents the usage profile of the Platforms, Systems and Equipment by a specific operating organization. A separate Support Context exists for each combination of Product, usage profile, and operating organization. | UK_Defence.support_context |
| Assumption | This information object represents an assumption that has been made by a person. An assumption may be referenced from other information objects that have been developed, based on it. | UK_Defence.assumption |
| Requirement | This information object represents a statement of need by a person or organization. | UK_Defence.requirement |
| Line of Maintenance | This information object represents a defined maintenance line for the related item. | UK_Defence.line_of_maintenance |
| Depth of Maintenance | This information object represents the defined level of complexity for the maintenance and repair of unserviceable or damaged product. | UK_Defence.depth_of_maintenance |
| Support Component Option | This information object represents the support option recommended for further investigation for the related support component within the context of the related support concept. | UK_Defence.support_component_option |
| Support Option | This information object represents the specification of recognized support option categories for UK MoD support activities.

| Support Concept | This information object represents a support concept which is defined to be the combination of: i. Identification of the contracting strategies to be applied or explored for any aspect of support (e.g. SOM options). ii. Guidance on the lines and levels of maintenance that should be explored or applied to any specific elements of the Platform, System or Equipment (PSE) requiring support . iii. The initial specification of the supportability, cost and readiness metrics that will be used to assess the design of the support solution and the performance of the support system when it becomes operational. | UK_Defence.support_concept |
