Model-driven approaches: despite the advances of software development techniques, concerns about reuse, productivity, maintenance, documentation, validation, optimization, portability and interoperability are still under discussion.
The study revealed that the faculties shared similar problems such as no proper maintenance documentation, no local suppliers for spares and inadequate expertise.
Following a successful demonstration of the applicability of human factors guidelines to the design of aircraft maintenance documentation (Patel et al., 1994, Applied Ergonomics, 25 (5) 286 – 293) a natural extension was to replace paper-based workcards with a computer system.
Unfortunately, traditional programming environments poorly support the writing and maintenance of documentation.
Maintenance support includes such resources as documentation, information, information systems, personnel, support equipment, materials, spare parts, and facilities [29].
Documentation of lifelong learning is now required for residency training, board certification and maintenance of certification in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many European countries [ 6- 8].
"Before 1834 it was the responsibility of the local parish to pay upkeep for an illegitimate child," says Paley, "so they would go after the father to seek maintenance, which created documentation about who he was".
… China should comply with international standards of data collection, documentation, maintenance, and disclosure".
A hidden challenge for this sector is the maintenance of plant documentation throughout the entire operating time of the machine components.
To help reach that goal, it will adopt and recommend modular approaches that facilitate more systematic model development, documentation, maintenance, and sharing.
Using a systems engineering methodology the developed model will be the one that guarantees the consistency and derives the different applications needed in every stage of the lifecycle, from simulation, to risk assessment or even documentation maintenance.
