ePLM IDE Overview
Increase Efficiency
Minimize Cost
Optimize Availability
Improve Readiness
Realizing program
efficiencies
through a
common data and
decision
environment that
streamlines
business
processes and
builds business
intelligence
Minimizing
Acquisition Cost
via capabilities
that enable
traceability of
requirements and
verification testing
to realize systems
engineering
efficiencies and
increase quality
Optimizing
Operational
Availability (Ao) by
exploiting the
availability-cost
curve to maximize
weapon system
readiness at the
lowest lifecycle
cost
Maximizing
technical
excellence and
judiciousness by
improving
sustainment
operations and
decision making to
meet Fleet Mission
priorities

The Tipping Point
• Process:
– Current Product Support Analysis Standards need to place more
emphasis on integrating Readiness and Total Ownership Cost
Modeling and Simulation capabilities to enable effective design
influence which will result in more affordably sustainable systems
• Tools:
– Modeling and Simulation tools need to become more user friendly
and capture a broader range of sustainment costs
– M&S tools need to be more tightly integrated with other PLM tools
• Human Capital
– Business, Math and Engineering schools need to adjust curriculum
to address both PLM and a Modeling and Simulation Approach to
Product Support Analysis
– Industry Product Support Analysis, Availability and Total Ownership
Cost training needs to similarly adjust
