Maintenance Data Warehouse

Abstract

Maintenance Data Warehouse funds the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) Sustainment Vision (SV) 2020 digital transformation which is a critical component of improving readiness. It will be executed in a fully agile manner providing continuous fleet readiness improvements across the FYDP. The initial SV 2020 configuration will be supported with an agile Minimal Viable Product (MVP) as the foundation for continuous capability introduction. The Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) will provide the seamless environment to support the integration of the other capabilities developed in Maintenance Data Warehouse. Aviation Data Warehouse/Decision Knowledge Programming for Logistics Analysis and Technical Evaluation (DECKPLATE) program is the next generation data warehouse containing over 30 years of aircraft maintenance, flight, components, and usage data. Through the use of web-based, commercial off the shelf software for data load, analysis, query, and reporting tools, the user has the capabilities to effectively obtain readiness data in a near real-time environment, as well as providing historical data for long range planning, trend and records analysis, records reconstruction, and compliance with technical directives. DECKPLATE supports the mission of the warfighter who requires a single source of near real-time aviation data in which to base critical readiness decisions. DECKPLATE collects data from authoritative sources, such as the fleet maintenance systems, into a data warehouse. Because the warfighter only needs to access one database, the time consuming task of collecting various pieces of data from various sources will be reduced and ultimately eliminated. This also accomplishes a reduction in legacy systems mandated by Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. DECKPLATE manages total inventory for two major categories of assets, Aircraft (General Equipment) and Engine/Propulsion Systems/Modules (EPSMs) (Operating Materials & Supply). DECKPLATE is comprised of the transactional Aircraft Inventory and Readiness Reporting (DECK-AIRRS) and the Engine Transaction Reporting (DECK-ETR) subsystems which provide the complete lifecycle for aircraft and Engine/ Propulsion System/Modules (EPSMs). DECKPLATE has been identified as a level 1 financial feeder system due to the value of the aircraft and EPSM's managed in the system, and continues to respond to audit compliance and Cyber Security mandates. DECKPLATE is a core feeder system to numerous NAVAIR efforts. Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) solution is an initiative which provides Naval Aviation Enterprise with common enabling capabilities which deliver timely data-driven, decisional information to optimize aircraft availability and materiel readiness by incorporating health and usage leading indicators into the failure mode mitigation process, enabling the Warfighter to more efficiently meet mission requirements through automated analysis and decision making processes. The CBM+ initiative increases readiness through streamlined maintenance processes which provide the sustainment base with timely, actionable logistics/engineering data and integrated analytics not previously available, enabling engineers and acquisition professionals to support system improvements based on CBM+ acquired data and analytic results. CBM+ provides the enabling infrastructure and storage solutions within an Enterprise common environment needed to store and analyze weapon system sensor data to extend the life of current and new acquisition aircraft, realizing savings from reductions in field (organizational and intermediate) maintenance actions, reduced functional check flight hours, mishap mitigation, and reduced parts usage. The Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE) program is the Naval Aviation Information Technology (IT) solution to deliver full lifecycle weapon system logistics and maintenance capabilities to the functional Naval Aviation Support Process (NASP). ALE will provide a seamless digital environment that will improve readiness and provide for reduced system development, testing, deployment, and sustainment costs, as well as reduced cyber risk due to lower number of IT systems and ability to address capability gaps via an integrated technology schedule. It will deliver these capabilities via a net centric, shared data environment that supports shore based, afloat, and expeditionary operations. The ALE integrates IT services plane-side and interfaces with infrastructure systems where necessary. ALE is a global logistics enterprise solution and a part of the total enterprise solution architecture. ALE is designed to structure IT services with the ability to connect with other parts of the enterprise solution set, thus enabling an interoperable end-to-end business process. ALE consolidates Naval Aviation data into an integrated data environment for high level analysis. ALE will integrate, organize, and develop an underlying infrastructure and analytical capacity across the NASP in order to generate a holistic timely picture of readiness and condition for all T/M/S. ALE will be providing modern Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Decision Support (Predictive Analytics), Planeside Interfacing, and the Enterprise Infrastructure to support the NAE. The ALE program is a "system of systems" that will provide a common, integrated data environment that will enable NAE Vision 2020 data transparency across the Naval Aviation Enterprise; end-to-end process view to enable both consuming and providing on-demand information to stakeholders; a capability to view "digital twins" of all T/M/S for both allowable and as- configured states; a consolidation of aging, near-end-of-life systems and applications to modern technology and cost efficient support infrastructures; consistent and accurate weapons systems technical and Computer Aided Design (CAD) engineering documentation to support additive manufacturing capabilities; standardized metrics, algorithms, and business analysis tools; an architecture that enables migration to the cloud; and alignment to Information Assurance (IA) and Cybersecurity standards, and Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliance. Vector (formally Integrated Logistics Management System (ILSMS)) supports the development of a common logistics analytical application which uses a disciplined approach to Business Intelligence (BI) architecture by combining products, data, technology and methods aimed at key Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) business processes. Vector provides a single view of the data to focus on aircraft readiness, maintenance, supply, cost, and man-hours. Vector provides naval aviation with a common view of approved key performance metrics and the capability to perform multi-system analysis of Ready for Tasking (RFT)/Ready Basic Aircraft (RBA) Gap drivers, 'Top-Down' aircraft systems analysis down to the component level. Vector identifies system performance trends early to mitigate future readiness and cost impacts to the fleet. Dynamic Scheduling optimizes aircraft (BuNo specific), engine and component maintenance through task sequencing based on reliability and failure data, and asset utilization vice calendar directed maintenance. Dynamic Scheduling will have insight to demand across the NAE and can affect maintenance across all levels of maintenance. Dynamic Scheduling IT system capability will interface with authoritative source systems providing and consuming operational demand, man power, training, supply and others. Near term Dynamic Scheduling capability is planned for NALCOMIS OOMA and future state DS capability is planned for NAMS implementation. Both material and non-material changes implemented along with the DS IT system will provide capability that overcomes the challenges faced by the as-is state to include: .Advanced scheduling capabilities interfaced with current future MRO system to enable system assisted scheduling, optimization and opportunistic maintenance. .Insight and the ability to collaborate and affect schedules across all levels of maintenance and MRO systems. .Capture and analysis of RCM mitigations strategies with the ability to quickly implement changes to maintenance tasks and periodicities. .The ability to package Technical Manuals for serial number specific, scheduled event tasks at the point of maintenance. .The ability to provide additional point of maintenance technical data and support to enable the maintainer of the future. Optimized Scheduled Maintenance and Dynamic Scheduling IT system capabilities will contribute to the reduction of MMHs and increase in operational availability objectives by positively affecting the efficiency of maintenance at the O, I & D-Levels of maintenance across the NAE. Future state OSM IT system capability may be provided by the Aviation Logistics Environment (ALE)/Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions. Dynamic Scheduling IT capability is schedule to be developed as an interface to NALCOMIS OOMA . Future state version of Dynamic Scheduling IT capability will interoperate with Naval Aviation Maintenance System (NAMS) and other future state system such as Naval Data Repository (NDR), ALE/PLM, and Navy Depot Management System (NDMS).
