Brief description
Chapter 1 Provisioning
Provisioning is the process of selecting support items and spares, necessary for the support of all categories of Products. This chapter defines the process and specifies the data, formats and transmission procedures to be used in providing provisioning information to the customer throughout the various phases of the lifecycle of the Product. It also provides the database from which Illustrated Parts Catalogues (IPC) can be produced. The rules for the production and presentation of the IPC in different media are covered by the specification S1000D. IPC is identical to Illustrated Parts Data Publication (IPDP).
