Spare parts documentation is an essential part of documentary work in special vehicle construction. Despite the increasing complexity of technical systems, it should be perfectly tailored to customer requirements and impress with its clear structure and user-friendliness. In this way, clean spare parts documentation can provide comprehensive support in the event of maintenance or repairs.
Spare parts documentation is based on specific standards and guidelines. Company-specific characteristics of the customer also play an important role in their creation. Such a document contains detailed spare parts data, lists and catalogs as well as other information for spare parts management, maintenance and repair. Spare parts documentation is produced in addition to the technical documentation, which provides basic information on the handling and equipment of a special vehicle.
Special features in special vehicle construction for the military
The S2000M guideline is particularly important for spare parts documentation in the area of special vehicle construction for the military. Among other things, it prescribes the content of a spare parts catalog and the procedure for preparing spare parts master lists. The directive, which was conceived in 1976, replaced the use of numerous different national specifications in the military sector and introduced a standardized procedure. This led, for example, to considerable cost savings for military users and industry.
Further guidelines for the preparation of spare parts documentation are, for example, B007 for the area of spare parts master lists, GAF T.O. C-1-4 for the preparation of illustrated parts catalogs or the AW 43 guideline for the preparation of material lists.
