| Business DEX (UK_Defence009):— zonal_breakdown | Date: 2009/04/16 21:08:18 Revision: 1.4 |
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 communicated statement of events, activities, or outcomes that have happened. The method by which the message is communicated is various. | UK_Defence.message |
| Zonal Breakdown | This information object represents the hierarchical structure of spaces (zones) of a product. It represents a zone / spatial subdivision of a product. | UK_Defence.zonal_breakdown |
| Zone | This information object represents a zone or space in a product. | UK_Defence.zone |
| Zone Relationship | This information object identifies the relationship between zones in a breakdown. It is essentially used to establish the parent child relationships between the zones. | |
| Product Design | This information object represents the aggregated set of information that constitutes the 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 contain 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. | UK_Defence.product_design |
| Product Specification | This information object represents the specification of a type of product in terms of its functional and/or physical characteristics. A product specification does not contain the level of detail neccessary in order to manufacture and / or assemble a product that meets the specification. That level of detail is only provided by a product design. Typical Product Specifications are those defined by each NATO stock number classification, and those defined by industry standards specifications for items such as nuts, bolts, tyres, etc. Several Product Designs by individual design authorities may meet the requirements of a Product Specification. Such product specifications can be referred to by the elements of a Product Design as well as/instead of an individual Product Design, depending on the item in question. NOTE: The characteristics that define a Product Specification are defined by the Property information object. NOTE: The document(s) that define a Product Specification are defined by the Document Association information object. | UK_Defence.product_specification |
| Property | This information object represents a property that defines a functional or physical aspect of the information object that it is a property of. | UK_Defence.property |
| 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. | |
| Status Assignment | This information object represents the record of the assignment of a status to a subjectate drawings with Product Design objects. This can be used for example to assign approvals to documents, status to deliveries, or dispositions to design changes (requested, proposed, authorized etc). |
