End-to-End Focus
When we look at the end-to-end process for the production of technical publications based on the S1000D standard, our experience is that we can save:
- 20% in transforming LSA data into Data Modules
- 45% for Authors using S1000D (we illustrated a case with 48% savings last time)
- 60% for Authors of Parts Catalogs
- 20% for Authors of Computer-Based Training (we presented a case with 20%+ savings last time)
- 20% for improved mechanic efficiency
If we make the following assumptions:
- Hourly rate of 70 EUR (or use USD)
- One person converting LSA data to S1000D data modules
- Twenty authors of data modules
- Two authors writing IPCs
- Five authors of job cards
- Ten authors of computer-based training
(Total of 38 people)
Using this example of 38 people making 70 EUR or USD/hour, improved workforce efficiency represents a savings potential of 21,440 hours per year, or 1.5M EUR/USD!
If we include intelligent data in an IETP and its impact on 50 mechanics, the savings increase to 37,440 hours or 2.6M EUR/USD!
