GENERAL INFORMATION
Terminology:
STDO
This is the Supplier Technical Documentation On-line, also named Supplier Technical Manuals.

CMMv
It is an acronym for Component Maintenance Manual Vendor (or Supplier).

Aircraft Type
The whole Airbus aircraft programs are considered.

Part Number
It is a 15-character field containing the part number assigned by the manufacturer to identify similar equipment.

ATA Reference
ATA: Air Transport Association.

ATA Reference is composed of a Chapter Number, a Section Number, and a Subject Number.

ATA Chapter: A number that links the aircraft system to a place in the document. It is a 2-digit number (00 up to 99).
ATA Section: Identification number of a section. It is a 2-digit number (00 up to 99).
ATA Subject: Identification number of a subject, unit, or sub-subsystem. It is a 3-digit number max (Alphanumeric).

Document Type
It is a technical publication type. A list can be found below.

Supplier Code
Also called CAGE, NSCM, and FSCM Code.

CAGE: Commercial and Government Entity

NSCM: NATO Supply Code for Manufacturers

CAGE code provides five position alphanumeric codes (detailed in Cataloguing Handbook H4/H8) assigned by the Defence Logistics Services Centre (DLSC) in Battla Creek, Michigan, for the identification and location of U.S. and Canadian manufacturers and Sellers. CAGE codes were formerly titled Federal Supply Codes for Manufacturers (FSCM). For non-U.S. and non-Canadian manufacturers, refer to NATO Supply Codes for Manufacturers (NSCM). In the STDO application, we will use the appellation "Supplier code".

Another source of information to locate suppliers is via the website http://www.bpn.gov/bincs/begin_search.asp. It offers search by name, cage code, etc.

PDF file
Created using Adobe Acrobat, or similar products, PDF (Portable Document Format) is a common used format that is easy to implement and widely accepted. You can view, navigate, print, or “save as” PDF files using the Adobe Acrobat viewer (or Reader).
You can find the reader at Adobe’s homepage. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

TDAA document
Technical Data Access Agreement, agreement between AIRBUS and the dedicated Supplier to publish the supplier's data on the AIRBUS website.

Purpose and scope:
To give operators another opportunity to strengthen efficiency in data retrieval & application, Airbus is offering all operators a comprehensive suite of Airbus digital data solutions, which includes also suppliers' data accessible on the Airbus customer portal.

Available on AirbusSupply, the Supplier Technical Documentation service provides an on-line consultation of suppliers' maintenance manuals available to Airlines.

This service allows suppliers, who have signed their TDAA, to:
Search for CMMv by Aircraft Type, Part Number, ATA Reference, Document Type, and Airline Code
Save the search results in Excel format using the “Download” function
View, Print, and “Save As” documents using Acrobat Reader features.

Technical Publication content:
Only the latest CMMv revision issue is available to the operators:

That has been transmitted to Airbus by the document owner (supplier).

For which a technical data access agreement has been signed between the supplier (technical data owner) and Airbus.

Which does not require a U.S. Department of Commerce export license or does not contain data regulated by the U.S. Munitions List.

The current process does not allow to guarantee that the revision available in "Supplier Technical Documentation" is the latest one available. 
Airbus is studying an additional procedure allowing to provide in the same tool the ID of the latest revision of a CMM dispatched by the vendor. It will allow informing clearly the customer about validity of a given vendor document

AUDIT FUNCTION


Purpose and scope

The Supplier Technical Documentation Audit allows the audit of the suppliers' maintenance manuals available to Airlines. The audit is done by the supplier. It aims at verifying the content of data and provides a direct feedback to Airbus to improve the data quality provided to Airlines.

Audience

The Supplier Technical Documentation Audit is provided to suppliers only. The access to this feature is managed by the supplier's UEA after Airbus deploys the Audit functionality to the supplier company. The user of a supplier company in charge of the audit is named "supplier's auditor".

Audit Process

The audit process is illustrated in the figure bellow.


The Audit process is done in 4 steps:
1. Selection of the Data to Audit
The Audit is managed at the FSCM level. The supplier's auditor must select a FSCM to audit the manuals related to this FSCM code.
2. Audit Data
The supplier's auditor checks the manuals data and provides a feedback. For each manual three results are possible:
a. OK. The data are compliant with the supplier's information.
b. NOK. One or more data is not compliant with the supplier's information.
c. New. Within the list of manuals related to the selected FSCM, a manual is missing that can be added by the supplier's auditor.
3. Save Audit Data
Audit result is saved to allow the supplier's auditor to manage the audit in several steps.
4. Submit Audit Result to Airbus
The supplier's auditor has completed the audit for all the manuals of a FSCM and sends the audit results to Airbus. The audit must be coherent and complete (i.e. all manuals are correctly audited) before submitting.

Audit Content

Audit FSCM Selection


The Audit is managed at the FSCM level. When opening the Audit function, the list of FSCM available for the user to audit is returned in the result table.



For each FSCM retrieved, the information listed below are displayed.

2. Company name
3. Last Save Date
Date of the last time the data related to the audit of this FSCM have been saved.
4. Last Submit Date

5. Status
Inform the supplier's auditor that the FSCM is locked by another supplier's auditor. The name of the supplier's auditor currently auditing the manuals of the FSCM is provided as well as the date he has started the audit.
If a FSCM audit is locked by another user it is still available for consultation (no modification are possible at the same time).

The user can sort the results by clicking on one of the column title.

Audit Screen

b. OK, when the manual data are compliant with the supplier's information.
c. NOK, when one or more data is not compliant with the supplier's information.
d. New, when within the list of manuals related to the selected FSCM, a manual is missing. The "New" status can be set only by the button "Add missing doc" to reference a missing manual of the audited FSCM.
3. Correct value fields: correct value of one of the audited data if an incorrect value has been detected. Any of the audited data can be corrected. An optional comment can be edited.

e. Vol.
f. Revision
g. Rev. Date

The correction fields can be filled only if the audited manual status is set to NOK.
At least one of the correction fields (including Comment) must be filled if the audited manual status is set to NOK.

4. Several functions are provided to the supplier's auditor
a. Add missing doc
Clicking on the "Add missing doc" button will add a line in the audit table to indicate a manual is missing. The FSCM code is automatically filled with the value of the FSCM the manuals are audited.
b. Save
The "Save" function allows the supplier's auditor to save the audit results to allow him to manage the audit in several steps.
c. Check completeness
The "Check completeness" function checks that the audit has been completed, i.e. that all the documents have been correctly audited.

. For each audited manual which status is equal to "NOK" at least one correction field is filled (including "Comment")
. For each audited manual which status is equal to "New" all the correction fields except "Reference" (or ATA) and "Comment" are filled.
An error message is returned to the user if the audit is not completed.
