support solution;
information required to maintain a complex product;
information required for through life configuration
change management of a product and its support solution;
the representation of product structures, assemblies and
breakdowns including:
the identification and representation of
parts, their versions, definitions, and
documentation and management information, such as
dates and approvals assigned to parts;
the representation of multiple product
structure views;
the representation of functional, physical,
system and zonal breakdown of the product
structure, from system via subsystems or components to end items;
the representation of the shape of an
