Interactive Part Data and Management Systems

Parts Catalogs and Provisioning Services

Parts systems designed to fit your requirements and enhance process flow...

Rapid, accurate parts information is essential to your business.

If your company does business with  governmental agencies, the military, aerospace  or other commercial customers, the systemic  implementation of extended parts data is not optional.

Customers in growing numbers expect accurate parts intelligence and reporting capabilities and it is often a requirement to do business.

Enhanced parts catalog and part management systems begin with the collection, conversion and development of data, text, technical illustrations, graphics and other media. Information is stored in formats that encourage use throughout a spectrum of applications.

Successful system design provides a data pipeline capable of feeding a variety of interface types. Most importantly, contextual data is available at any point of your operations, allowing the process to flow from the data. This approach is fundamental to a successful parts management system.



Parts systems with a re-purpose...

Engineering files can hold an abundance of parts information, usually difficult to access. Our parts systems designers can integrate this data into your main stream.

Take advantage of your data...
Systematically produced and presented data can revolutionize your processes.

We are efficient and cost-effective.

Tell us about your project...



If you already have parts catalog and provisioning capabilities, we can supplement your current staffing to handle workload surges using T1 or VPN connections and entering data directly into your parts authoring system.

There are many types of parts catalogs, including:

• Illustrated Parts Breakdown Manuals (IPBs)
• Repair Parts / Special Tools Lists (RPSTLs)
• Work Package IPBs
• Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs)
Types I and II
• Web-based (XML) catalog and control formats for local and remote management of inquiries, orders, inventory, reporting and more
• ATA Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPC)
• S1000D IPC




Interactive Parts Catalog Tool

We’ve developed an intuitive, easy to use Interactive Parts Catalog Tool which provides an interactive environment for navigating through vast quantities of parts information.

Users can access parts information by entering the manufacturer’s part numbers, contractor assigned part numbers, or any other assigned item or stock designation.

Users can also find parts information using an alphanumeric search that responds to full or partial item names. Additionally, users can visually locate parts by reviewing detailed illustrated parts breakdowns beginning at top level assemblies and drilling down to the pertinent assembly and part.

The Interactive Parts Catalog Tool includes acquisition data, part supersedure and spares information, illustrations of parts, detailed parts breakdowns, and links to parts ordering systems. We can customize it to suit all requirements such as e-business applications supporting the requisitioning of parts and comprehensive inventory control.



Provisioning Data

For military programs, Dayton T. Brown produces provisioning data as specified in the Logistic Management Information (LMI) data selection matrix.

We generate all required provisioning technical data, including Provisioning Parts List (PPL, Long Lead Items List (LLIL), and Interim Support Items List (ISIL) which are delivered electronically to procuring agencies.

Our parts specialists are experts at meeting the requirements of Uniform DoD Requirements for Provisioning Technical Documentation (MIL-STD-1552A), DoD Requirements for a Logistic Support Analysis Record (MIL-STD-1388-2A and -2B), and Performance Specification Logistic Management Information (MIL-PRF-49506).
