Customer Case: SIMMT
OEM Collaboration
Situation
SIMMT (Integrated Structure for
Maintenance, Repair and Over-haul
of Ground Equipment) is the French
defence department in charge of
maintaining all vehicles for its three
arms services (Air Force, Army and
Navy)
The French army is moving from a process of fully internal maintenance to
collaborative maintenance done jointly with OEMs and external providers. This means
they have to share product data and processes, something their legacy IT systems are
not well-suited for. To address this new challenge, temporary solutions had been
developed that led to silo applications.
Problem
A new information system was required, which could handle all data exchanges with
OEMs and make it available to the legacy IT systems, support interaction with OEMs,
minimize manual inputs from maintenance operators, reduce faulty spare part orders,
and generally increase the quality of feedback data.
Solution
SIMMT established PENCIL, a secure collaboration solution based on Eurostep Share-A
-space®. PENCIL manages the exchange of product information, as delivered from the
manufacturer, and keeps two-way communication about event report feedback,
resource orders and audits. PENCIL allows secure collaboration with external partners;
SIMMT publish product configuration data to the collaboration platform, and the OEM
can update the service information for their specific component. All parties can
protect their IPR by using granular access rights to the product data.
Benefits
Easier doing business - with a stable contractual data exchange framework in
place, it is now easier for SIMMT to close deals and follow up on contracts.
More control and higher quality - with a single auditable process record, and full
control of their own data, less time is spent resolving errors.
Drive partner satisfaction - Providing a common, cross-program approch to data
exchanges, partners have an easier time exchanging accurate, reliable and timely
data.
Standard-based - Share-A-space is based on PLCS (NATO STANAG 4661).
