Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS)The Information Backbone to transform the Logistics Enterprise Some suggestions for the PLCS OASIS TC / Implementers forum. Trine Hansen, DNV Rob Bodington, Eurostep
Role of PLCS OASIS - Implementers forum • Develop & Provide standard to be tested: • P28 • Templates/DEXs/Ref Data/AP239 • Usage guidance OASIS PLCS TC PLCS Implementers forum Joint development of Test cases. I.e.Data + Ref Data Test and provide feedback on standard for improvement
PLCS OASIS requirements on Implementers forum • The PLCS OASIS TC should develop & provide the implementers forum with the standard components to be tested: • P28/P21 • Templates • Ref Data • DEXs • Question … should the components being tested be already a standard? • The implementers forum should test the templates / ref data / P28 / DEX / as specified in the PLCS OASIS TC • The testing should focus on verifying interoperability using the standard components • Use experience from CAX IF and earlier PLCS interoperability testing (e.g. DNV, Eurostep, EPM, LSC) • Start small to get the basics right. I.e. • To ensure consistent use of P28, Ref Data, templates • Extend out to more complex data and real world test cases • The implementers forum and the TC should jointly develop set of test data to be used to ensure agreed usage of data • The implementers forum decide how to test … e.g. round robin exchanges • The PLCS OASIS TC should respond to feedback from implementers forum and consider modifying standard components accordingly and push through the ballot process.
Some suggestions • Implementers forum (IF) should be open to all – not just PLCS OASIS TC members • Reduce barriers to participation. Free to participate • IF should focus on interoperability between tools • Any quality checking software should be software vendor neutral • Test results should be confidential to IF
