Aerospace Manufacturers
The Challenge
Several challenges face manufacturers of components and systems for the aerospace industry.
They must produce detailed documentation on the operation and maintenance of their equipment.
This documentation must then be distributed to maintenance organizations, manufacturers of higher level assemblies and systems, aircraft manufacturers, and end users such as aircraft operators.
In addition, aerospace manufacturers usually deal with large volumes of documentation.
Furthermore, the information in this documentation must be maintained throughout the long lifecycle of the equipment and must reflect a constant flow of revisions that are driven by design changes, operating changes, field experience, and regulatory considerations.
Other challenges faced by aerospace manufacturers include:
- Multiple sites
- Entrenched manual processes
- Varying standards and formats
- Protracted revision cycles
- Expensive update and distribution processes
- Legacy authoring tools
