Automated Generation of Maintenance Work Packages

RLW proposes to deliver an architecture framework in DODAF format that defines the functions, processes, applications that require and enable automation of the shipboard maintenance process for future platforms. This DODAF formatted deliverable will also include a plan for demonstrating the proposed capability. This framework will then serve as basis for Phase II of this effort. The departure point for this work will be the current legacy environment and work done by RLW under an ongoing NAVSUP sponsored effort (Machinery Health Monitoring Sense & Respond Logistics) that has demonstrated the ability to automatically generate a work order candidate (Form 4790.2K)and order associated parts. This ongoing NAVSUP demonstration also provides a significant leverage opportunity, affording access to a realistic test environment at LBES on live machinery. A small scale demo will be performed at LBES, delivering a complete formal work package at the point of maintenance. In addition to its SxNAP(TM) platform for identification of machinery faults, RLW will bring to bear its significant and growing Navy ship maintenance process subject matter and domain expertise. RLW will incorporate in its investigation developments in the Maintenance Figure of Merit (MFOM) arena and Navy ERP as appropriate.
