Maintenance Data Warehouse

Abstract

Maintenance Data Warehouse funds the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) components, in coordination with Navy LOG-IT, of digital transformation which is a critical component of improving readiness; giving Navy users access to authoritative truth data and automating inefficient manual processes. It will be executed in a fully agile manner providing continuous fleet readiness improvements across the FYDP. The initial 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 Logistics Environment (ALE) provides the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) components, in coordination with Navy LOG-IT, of digital transformation which is a critical component of improving readiness; giving Navy users access to authoritative truth data and automating inefficient manual processes. It will be executed in a fully agile manner providing continuous fleet readiness improvements across the FYDP. The initial 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 Logistics Environment (ALE) provides a global logistics enterprise solution, delivering capabilities via a net-centric, shared data environment that supports shore-based, afloat, and expeditionary operations. ALE consists of three components; Ground Station, Aviation PLM, and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The Maintenance Engineering Ground Station for Aviation (MEGA) is the Naval Aviation Type/Model/Series (T/M/S)-agnostic ground station. MEGA is currently under development using Government off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software and PLM/ESB is configuring Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS). The Aviation Product Lifecycle Management (Aviation PLM) capability will provide the digital thread of aviation logistics data for allowable and as-configured Repair Bill of Materials (R BOM) sustainment, technical bulletins, technical directives and engineering change proposals, and reliability centered maintenance and maintenance planning. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) capability will provide the digital backbone for data connections to and from authoritative data sources. ALE consolidates aging, near-end-of-life systems and applications and aligns Information Assurance (IA) and cybersecurity requirements. 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. To provide the warfighter with a common view of Logistics IT data, the time consuming tasks of collecting, extracting, transforming, and loading source data will enable an federated data view that will reduce and ultimately eliminate duplicative and manual processes, while providing visibility and access to trusted data for decision support. 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+ technologies, acquired data, and business process integration of 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. Vector supports the development of a common logistics analytical tool suite which provides a single view of data and insights focused 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. This is critical for fleet understanding of readiness degraders and issue resolution.
