Other proposed features of S1000D IETPs include

• Powerful Search: User can search with any of data module codes , Part Numbers, Fault Isolation codes or any others defined in the process of business rules exchange and navigating to the content.
• IPDs and its maintenance: Illustrated Parts Data module helps in defining complete part details, user can easily navigate and understand the specific part in detail. These parts Stock keeping and Maintenance are made possible with the help of Inventory Module.
• Interactive Illustrations and Wiring Diagrams: Illustrations and wiring diagrams are made more powerful by Separating parts wirings, Parts grouping with multiple colors Linking each part to detailed part illustration.
• Conditional Branching Mechanisms: With help of S1000D Yes No and Switch case schemas a technician can perform diagnostic procedures for fault isolation, its fixage or replacement with action complete indicators following each step. Each step is linked to a detail diagram that shows the procedure to follow.
• Maintenance & Operations data collection: All the Maintainers and Operators performed actions can be collected as data for Auditing and Trail purposes.

S1000D IETPS has the following

Data Planning and Management Benefits

• Interoperability at data level, through use of “accepted industry” schemas.
• Data Dictionary is freely available in the specification.
• Based on International standard ISO 8879 (SGML/XML content).
• Ease of data exchange, smaller more reusable chunks of information (data modules).
• Common information can be identified.
• Can be linked with source data such as Logistics Support Analysis Requirements (LSAR), which can be used to enhance an integrated data environment.
• Increase in data integrity and the generation of better quality documents, through data integration with other systems and business units.
• The specification permits the addition of extra documentation features such as Link mechanisms, allowing the project team to decide what level of end user experience is required.
• The data module level objects allow for the focus to be on data, as opposed to a more traditional paper delivery.

Authoring Benefits

• Author can save a lot of time by focusing on the content and he’ll be freed from formatting.
• Content reusability in Smart IETP is upto 40% across all publications since data modules are so modular.
• Maintenance and update costs can be saved by 30% due to data module content reuse in Smart IETPs.
• Defined Document Structures allow authoring structure to be defined within programs.
• The Module Uniqueness (Task/Description) in Smart IETPs allows task orientated definition.
• Smart IETPs can reduce the document distribution costs with the help of multiple delivery methods from the one source content.
• Publishing process is very well organized and streamlined. Data integrity optimization and making rich documents through data integration with other systems and business units is possible with our tool.
• Smart IETM features wider access control and efficient retrieval of the documentation by the end user using the asset/equipment in the field including multiple content delivery methods.
• Information made easy by Smart IETPs, for example; the operations like search and retrieval by applicable models, or through the use of metadata and content.

Advantages of our Smart IETP viewers

• Reduction of Mean Time to Repair/Replacement with Interactive Fault isolation procedures.
• Powerful search helps users to identify information faster and get part details faster.
• Maintenance and operational activities data collection.
• Illustrated parts stock management and orderings.
• Easy data integration and corrections.
• User feedback collections in the form of Annotations.
