Business Overview

Business Introduction

This DEX enables the transmission of a set of task specifications. The data exchanged may be used as part of a support solution, e.g. a prime contractor developing a set of tasks for an aircraft.

The result is a requirement to create, transfer, review and approve a (set of) task specification(s) for a contracted item from the prime contractor. Information will be created including;

• A task specification in response to a defined support driver;
• Task descriptions, possibly including task steps and referenced tasks;
• Resources needed for the task, including specifications, quantities, possible realizations etc;
• A record of the approval status of the task and its content.

Business Process

The Task Set DEX deals with information required to maintain the product in order to sustain or regain an acceptable product state. A task specification does not plan, schedule, or record what has been done.

It is usual for the task specification to be derived from a formal analysis process such as Logistic Support Analysis (LSA).

The detailed set of business activities are detailed in the PLCS Activity Model section.

A task specification is initially prepared during the latter stages of the detail design and development phases and is continuously assessed and adjusted throughout the lifetime of a system or product.
