TIA Overview Efforts are ongoing at PM-LAV to develop and build a Product Data Management (PDM) / Technical Information Architecture (TIA). The purpose of the PDM/TIA Project Task is to: 1.Further define PM-LAV s PDM requirements 2.Further define PM-LAV s TIA s detailed system design Provide an analysis of technical alternatives 3.Identify actions necessary to ensure the synchronization and leveraging of PM-LAV PDM/TIA initiatives with other organizations.
Problem Statement Accomplishing the systems integration required to enable expanded access to the accurate, current, highquality product data, residing in many disparate information systems, which is needed to efficiently and effectively meet mission objectives. Data sharing across functional domains of design, acquisition, resource management, and operational logistics is absolutely essential to support of Total Life Cycle Management (TLCM) and Total Life Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) decisions.
Opportunity Statement 1. FACT: TLCSM is not new to PM-LAV. Many stakeholders are already engaged, including suppliers, Product Support Managers (PSMs)/Product Support Integrators (PSIs), inventory control points, and the war fighter. 2. FACT: PM-LAV has made significant progress in technical data management. It has sponsored initiatives and achieved results relevant to PDM in S&RL, Configuration Management (CM), Integrated Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs), Item Unique Identification (IUID), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), and Performance Based Logistics (PBL). PM-LAV has an opportunity to synchronize with the Marine Corps overarching PDM efforts. By providing PDM / TIA innovation at the PM-LAV level, the Program Manager is positioned to shape and influence the emerging Marine Corps PDM policy. Additionally, it will enable the sponsors of Marine Corps technical data management to leverage PM-LAV initiatives to ensure that the real operational requirements of weapons programs are satisfactorily supported by PDM efforts.
Challenges Develop an IT architecture to help manage product lifecycle data in a way that integrates System Engineering and Logistics efforts. Logistics Process System Engineering Process
Challenges Begin development of a Master Product Data Management Database which will aggregate data from across multiple sources and provide centralized access. Develop a vehicle level WBS that can integrate CM and IETM data and produce various BOMs. Develop an automated system to propagate data changes throughout the system.
Technical Approach Development Phases of the PDM / Technical Information Architecture (TIA). 1. 2009 TIA Concept Document. 2. 2010 Prototype of TIA Platform WBS App. 3. 2011 Initial TIA Capability Development.
TIA Concept Document
TIA Prototype Prototype Highlights: 18 levels of indentures Ties into Asset Tracker Ability to search for specific item by web number Reports Import functionality for importing a platform and all its subsystems from excel
2011 Capability Development Core configuration management, w/engineering change processes, and showing ripple-through of an ECP to the technical publication. BOM Synchronization across engineering (as conceived/designed), manufacturing (as built), provisioning (as fielded), and repair/refurbish. Approach for exposing product/technical content through the PM-LAV Portal (SharePoint).

The predictive output is incorporated into the MPDM A representation of the data is incorporated into the MPDM Readiness Supply Time-dependent Mean Time Between Removals Availability Achieved operating hours Cumulative age of part populations Percent of time awaiting parts Average time awaiting parts Spares levels Returning to the entire logistics chain, process and stakeholder data needs assessed for applicability MPDM INPUT Maintenance Cost PREDICTIVE OUTPUT Spares unavailability/requirements Removals (Time, Location and Quantity) Workload to Depot Condemnations at depot Tasks performed Percent of time awaiting maintenance Average time awaiting maintenance Life Cycle Supportability Costs Costs per operating hour The end result: Stakeholders see each other's data structured in a format that is meaningful to the customer
Overall Benefits The PDM / TIA will generate important needed benefits: Improved mission readiness--repairs can be made sooner with relevant information; program acquisition decision making and operational planning will be enhanced; planning efforts will be facilitated Cost-savings based on improved decision-making capabilities, standardization, and increased collaboration among managers and users Better understanding of all aspects of the USMC Family of LAVs and all data associated with this weapon system
Overall Benefits PM Visibility across the Systems Engineering and Logistics communities. Flexibility in the ability to leverage data in support of multiple groups and activities. Connectivity of stakeholders in lifecycle management process. Authoritative data/knowledge source on which all decisions can be based.
Technology Deployment PM-LAV is the design and implementation source partner for the TIA. TIA concepts have been prototyped. Capability requirements and alternative analysis activities are currently being conducted. Detailed system design and an initial capabilities development will be a phase one deliverable. Continued functionality will evolve in subsequent project phases.
