electronic Technical Work Document (eTWD)

Abstract

The eTWD Initiative is a NAVSEA Sponsored, CNO approved Reduction in Total Ownership Cost (RTOC) Initiative to establish interactive electronic Technical Work Document (eTWD) capability for use in the naval shipyards. An eTWD will be used to execute maintenance, repair, overhaul and modernization work packages on ships and submarines undergoing major availabilities in naval shipyards. This solution will provide paperless work packages, pulling authoritative data from the existing NMMES applications supporting ship maintenance. The interactive electronic work instruction will be used at the jobsite replacing the current paper based instructions. The overall goal for eTWD is twofold: 1) to reduce the resources and time preparing, executing and certifying work instructions; and 2) enable the non-stop execution of work by having online documents and drawings accessible for problem resolution. The eTWD Initiative is in progress.
