Information Management Edition

The Information Management Edition includes the Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) and a Technical Documentation Development Capability. It runs on the common source system database (Microsoft SQL Server 2005) and can be used as a standalone application or in conjunction with the Simulation and Failure Data Editions. 

The Information Management Edition provides the user with the ability to develop, save and control Logistic Support data for a system. Common elements between systems, such as; Items, Support Equipment and Personnel are defined in database libraries. System data includes LSA, Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). Embedded drawing, Hot Spots and word processing capabilities, enable the development of Illustrated Parts Breakdowns, Technical and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (html and chm IETMs). The System Database also provides MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF STAN 00-60, csv and xml import and export capability.

The System Database consists of:

Libraries: to define common data elements between the systems Suppliers, Items & Support Equipment, Documentation, Facilities, Personnel and Skills (new and existing).

Physical Breakdown Structure (PBS) and Functional Breakdown Structure (FBS): to define the Physical and/or Functional breakdown of the system.

Failure Analysis: providing a Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis capability.

Detail Task Analysis: to define the detail task requirements for each task (i.e. Spare Parts, Support Equipment, Personnel and Facilities).

Reliability Block Diagram and Fault Tree Analysis (RBD/FTA Models): to define equipment redundancies and failure critical paths.

IPB and Task Documentation Editor: to assist the user to develop Illustrated Parts Breakdowns and Technical Maintenance manuals.

IETM export capability: to assist the user to create Hot Spots and Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals in a html and Windows help (chm) format.

MIL-STD-1388-2B/DEF STAN 00-60: to import and export from a MIL-STD-1388-2B or DEF STAN 00-60 text file.

Licensing: The Information Management Edition is a multi user application where an administrator has the ability to assign users, user groups, user roles and privileges. The license is installed as a bundled license on a server with a limited number of concurrent users.

Evaluation License: An Evaluation License is also available at no cost for training and evaluation purposes. The Evaluation License includes all functionality of the Information Management Edition (limited to small demonstration projects) and runs on a Microsoft SQL Express database.
