15. September 29, 2005 15 What is Next ? n GEIA-927 Expansion: –COMPASS (Mar 06) –CASA (Apr 06) –PFSA (May 06) –AP214 Core Data for Automotive Mechanical Design Processes (Jun 06) n Companion Handbook (Apr 06) –Integration Methodology –Modeling Guidelines –Tailoring Guidelines –EXPRESS Code for Reference Model n LOGSA Implementations (Dec 05 – Jun 06) –COMPASS –PowerLog –CASA –PFSA Effort is Funded!!! GEIA-927 Advisory Group Oversees Effort

16. September 29, 2005 16 Observations n Integration of LSAR and Logistics models in schema will enhance the ability to exchange Logistics Product Data across disparate Systems n GEIA-927-1, will fill the void for delivery/exchange of logistics information (e.g. provisioning, cataloging, packaging, task analysis, etc.) n GEIA-927-1 provides Government a “Contractible” Data delivery standard for Logistics Product Data. n GEIA-927 Advisory Group open to industry and government representatives
