Enigma/IBM Technical Document Management and Delivery (TDMD)
Enigma and IBM have teamed up to create Technical Document Management and Delivery (TDMD), a powerful solution for the airline MRO industry that helps automate processes and quickly deliver critical repair information to the line maintenance technicians who need it to improve aircraft repair turnaround time, and optimize the efficiency and consistency of airline maintenance.
What is TDMD?
TDMD consists of a content management component and a content delivery component. The content management portion utilizes IBM Document Manager and Content Manager to provide an environment where engineers and technical writers can import and review the necessary service documents—maintenance manuals, service bulletins, technical revisions and engineering change notices—prior to approving them for use in the depot or on the flight line.
The content delivery portion utilizes Enigma 3C to provide an integrated, web-based aircraft encyclopedia that allows aviation maintenance technicians in the field and in the hangar to see all of the latest service manuals, parts catalogs and troubleshooting guides, customized for each specific aircraft. Enigma allows the TDMD solution to be easily integrated with ERP, inventory and maintenance scheduling systems, enabling the creation of customized task cards and giving technicians visibility into the entire maintenance process. The result is a complete aircraft information solution that optimizes the efficiency and consistency of the maintenance and engineering department.
This fully integrated solution can be deployed in six months for substantially less than similar aviation solutions on the market, enabling MRO shops to achieve ROI within nine months.
Who Uses TDMD?
TDMD for Airlines is used by airline MRO facilities that need to manage the review, approval and publishing of technical documentation and that need to optimize the aircraft maintenance workflow for efficiency and consistency. TDMD can also be applied to other capital equipment-intensive industries such as railways, shipping, defense, automotive and trucking, telecom, semiconductor, oil and gas, and utilities.
TDMD addresses the needs of airlines and MROs by offering:
- An ATA-compliant production environment for content management and delivery
- Revision/difference comparison ("What has changed?")
- Version control
- Collaboration capability
- Multiple deployment options (online/offline)
