Overview
ISO 10303-239:2012 - Application protocol: Product life cycle support (PLCS) - defines standardized information for representing and exchanging product data needed to support complex products throughout their life. This second-edition application protocol (part of the ISO 10303 product data representation and exchange family) focuses on the data required for maintenance, through-life configuration change management, activity history, product history and the representation of product structures and interfaces.
Key topics and technical requirements
ISO 10303-239:2012 covers a broad set of data concepts and requirements, including:
- Product definition and support solution: data needed to define complex products and their support strategies.
- Maintenance and through-life management: information required to maintain products and manage configuration changes over the product life cycle.
- Product structures and assemblies: representation of parts, assemblies and breakdowns, including part identification, versions, documentation, approvals, and multiple structure views (functional, physical, system, zonal).
- Shape and positional information: composition of assembly shape from component shapes and identification of attachment positions within assemblies.
- Properties and interfaces: association of valued properties to parts/assemblies and representation of interfaces between products.
- Classification and documentation: categorization of parts, documents and assemblies and their management metadata (dates, approvals).
- Through-life representation: modeling of requirements, potential future products, configuration identification, effectivity constraints, and predicted vs. observed product states.
- Activity specification and planning: tasks, task conditions (resources, location), skills and personnel types, scheduling, authorization and work management.
- Activity and product history: recording usage, performed activities, resource consumption, historical states, and configuration status; including location and observation of product data.
Applications and who uses it
ISO 10303-239 is practical for organizations managing complex, long-lived products that require coordinated support and configuration control. Typical users:
- Systems engineers and configuration managers implementing through-life change control
- Maintenance planners and support organizations documenting tasks, resource needs and authorization
- Product lifecycle management (PLM) and maintenance software vendors integrating support data
- Aerospace, defense, rail, heavy machinery and industrial equipment manufacturers who need interoperable product-support information exchange
Related standards
- Other parts of the ISO 10303 series (product data representation and exchange) for complementary data exchange needs
- Industry-specific PLM and configuration management guidance that can be integrated with PLCS data models
Keywords: ISO 10303-239:2012, PLCS, product life cycle support, product data exchange, application protocol, configuration management, product structures, maintenance planning, activity history.
