  1. Execution Across Time and Space: Extending Access to Knowledge Mohsen Rezayat, Ph.D. Chief Solutions Architect April, 2005

  2. Integrated Point-Of-Maintenance Execution Integration & Workflow Control Mobile devices with Wireless LAN Electronic Forms & Barcode Scanners Tech Data & TOs

  3. Why I-POMx? I-POMx is about extending access to knowledge and enabling the optimal sharing of information in order to improve customer’s competitive advantage. • I-POMx is… • Location independent 24/7 connectivity to support infrastructure • Strategy for improving enterprise performance • Solutions to mission-critical needs • Secure and reliable wireless experience for knowledge access • Seamless connectivity, collaboration and communication • Integrated into business processes • Enhanced productivity • Reduced costs • Workforce optimization • Better responsiveness • Improved overall process • I-POMx is Not… • Stand-alone application • Isolated solutions • Specific device • Wireless alone • Just About mCommerce • Just Technology Access to enterprise knowledge by the decision makers at the time of decision

  7. Where: Pilot site – Tinker AFB Depot observers – Cherry Point, Puget Sound, Pearl Harbor, Portsmouth Funding: OSD provides (through CTMA) $1.1 million – industry provides $3.4 million Duration: Phase I Completed in August 2004, Phase II in April 2005 Seven industrial partners Acer: Tablet PCs Intel: Centrino Mobile technology, EDS PLM SW architectural support Leszynski Group: Application User Interface development Microsoft: Tablet PC O/S and support MRI: Process mapping and benefits analysis NCMS: Funding and project management UGS: System Solution and Technical lead Project Information: Phases I & II

  8. Final Phase II Task List • Upgraded Tech Order Library (TOL) code is to TC4.0 • Upgraded Teamcenter Digital Paper (TDP) code to TC4.0 • Give technicians access in TDP to all relevant TOs in TOL • Allow search within TOL from the TDP environment • Automatically register PDF, SGML, and HTML files in TOL • Remove the manual login to the TDP system • Pre-fetch, cache, and manage TOs on local drives • Provide a system/process status report by generating an email on a daily basis and forward to management

  9. Additional Phase II Task List • Modified the application to support external TOs • 2D barcodes were added to 1D to ensure uniqueness • Improved Ink based data entry and added new look and feel • Increased shop floor support and added new lifecycles • Created a brief type and a detailed type of status report • Improved performance of the MTier server • Added functionality for partial search and claim • Updated UI for attach TO and cached TOs only if necessary

  10. Potential Return On Investment • Current process isn’t automated; this project will pilot an automated, paperless process • Tinker processes about 1400 240’s per month, about 140 require research (actual tracking data) • Electronic access to integrated tech data that saves 30 min. search time per each 240 can save about 840 hours per year. • Automated workflow means 240’s never just sit in an in basket • 16,800 240’s processed per year (potential time savings). • Project technology is transportable to other form-based processes – the potential ROI is enormous • Potential ROI currently being validated at Tinker AFB

  11. Vision for Electronic WCD and the 202 Process

  12. A Unified Teamcenter Implementation

  13. Initial Implementation for Execution Across Time and Space Repair Phase Inspection Phase Step 1 Step 3 Step 4 Step 2 Step 5

  14. Initial Implementation for Execution Across Time and Space Repair Phase Inspection Phase Step 1 Step 3 Step 4 Step 2 Step 5 Using a single device to capture/re-use knowledge at the POM (Mobility) Packaging and managing all related technical data at the POM (Interoperability) Introducing technology while maintaining current practices (Flexibility) Facilitating predictive analysis and use by future technicians (Efficiency)
