I-POMx High-level ArchitectureI-POMx High-level Architecture

Project Information: Phases I & IIProject Information: Phases I & II

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

Final Phase II Task ListFinal 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

Additional Phase II Task ListAdditional 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

Potential Return On InvestmentPotential 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
