TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS

    Technical Publication is the process for providing operations and maintenance data in the form of Technical writings and Technical illustrations to the customers/users of the component

Technical Publication in Aerospace Industry:

ü  To sell and support the  products in these promising new markets

ü  Manufacturers must provide training and reference materials with the quality, clarity, and consistency to enable technicians around the world to understand and maintain highly sophisticated and complex aerospace components and systems.

ü  To compete effectively, manufacturers must  deliver those materials rapidly and cost-effectively.

Aerospace Technical Publications deals with the development and maintenance of technical data for the Aircraft and its components. The Aircraft manufacturers produce comprehensive technical documentation on the operation, maintenance, support and retrofit of its Aircraft. This documentation is provided to the Aircraft operators in the form of manuals. These manuals communicate information in order to have a specific message or task understood and accomplished as intended. The text/information must be clear, concise and consistent throughout the manual. Aircraft operators and owners perform the maintenance on their Aircraft using these manuals. The maintenance of the Aircraft is done by Aircraft Maintenance Technicians and Engineers. As Aircraft age, these publications become more critical as the repairs become more intense and frequent. The creation and updates of Technical Publications involve three major tasks: Authoring, Illustrating, and Publishing.

AUTHORING	Authoring involves gathering of technical information from approved/authentic technical documents, and transferring these technical contents in the authoring environment. This creates clear and concise technical documents which are universally understood across the Aerospace Industries and Aircraft Operators.
ILLUSTRATION	Illustrations are used as the primary means to convey the information. These illustrations are used in conjunction with the above authored tasks. An illustration is an artwork that helps in a better understanding of the authored task. The illustrations must be kept simple and presented in a self-explanatory style. An Illustration is generally not focused on Form, Fit and Function of the component/unit.
PUBLISHING	Publishing is a process of converting the above authored and illustrated task to various formats as desired by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and/or end users. The various forms are electronic format (CD, DVDs), or hard copies on paper, or through the websites (Internet).

Capgemini eyes Bengaluru to house all India operations

BENGALURU: French IT giant Capgemini, with over 40% of its workforce in India, is looking to consolidate its Indian entities into a single holding company. Its consolidated operations are likely to be largely based in Bengaluru where the company is looking for a one-million-sqft office space.

Capgemini operates four entities in India - Capgemini Business Services, Capgemini Consulting India, Capgemini India, Capgemini Consulting India - which are headquartered in Mumbai. When TOI contacted Capgemini on its consolidation drive, the company said: "At this point in time, we've no comments on the legal structure."

The 11-billion-euro technology company has floated a request for proposal for over 1 million sqft of office space in Bengaluru. This is part of the company's consolidation and growth strategy here, said one of the sources privy to the development. The company's annual report last year said that approximately one-third of the office space absorbed by the company globally was located in India.

TOI could not ascertain how much of the new space being leased was creation of fresh capacity and how much was part of consolidation of some existing facilities.

"As part of our expansion, we're looking at expanding in several cities in India as well as in Bengaluru. We've increased our campus recruitment and we will continue to do so this year too," the company spokesperson said. Earlier this year, the company said its headcount in India had crossed 50,000. Company CEO Paul Hermelin had said on a visit to Bengaluru that the French IT firm was reporting robust growth figures of 15%-16% in India, compared with 3% in France.

Capgemini has employees in nine cities - Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Trichy, Salem and Kolkata.

The company, which provides technology and outsourcing services across government and public sectors, energy and utilities, telecom and financial services sectors, has been one of the most aggressive among IT MNCs in using India as an offshoring location. As of the September quarter, the company had 1.41 lakh employees. The India headcount is expected to rise to 70,000 by 2016.  http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Capgemini-eyes-Bengaluru-to-house-all-India-operations/articleshow/45366974.cms

Andhra Pradesh eyes defence, aerospace investments

VISAKHAPATNAM: With neighbour Telangana stealing a march on it in attracting investments in defence and aerospace sectors, the Andhra Pradesh government is now planning a separate policy to woo private investors in these two crucial areas.

According to sources, while the industrial policy will focus on providing land and single window clearance system among others, a comprehensive defence and aerospace policy will be formulated after consultations with stakeholders.

AP industries commissioner Rajat Kumar said, "The government has identified a few thrust areas and defence and aerospace sectors are among them."

Keeping in mind that the defence and aerospace sectors are niche areas requiring huge investments, sources said the government has already held talks with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Andhra Pradesh for seeking its inputs for formulating a policy.

According to industry sources, a meeting was also held to gather inputs from various agencies including officials of Eastern Naval Command (ENC), Defence Research Development Laboratory (DRDL) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the city recently.

Industry sources pointed out that with the ENC and Satish Dhawan Space Centre-Sriharikota Range (SHAR) located in the state, the Vizag-Chennai corridor would be ideal for attracting private investments in the defence and aerospace sectors.

Another industry source said, "Even the central government is keen on indigenizing manufacturing in the defence sector. So the AP government can capitalise on this by inviting defence companies to the state by providing them with the necessary infrastructure and incentives. Moreover, with organisations like SHAR in the state, the government can help private players set up units for assembling defence and aerospace equipment. This can ease logistical issues for defence establishments."

"Aerospace and defence industries are high technology areas, and the rapid technological advancements will only make them even more high-tech. Considering this, AP government can focus more on promoting investments in design, manufacturing and testing of electronic components that go into the making of aircraft and other systems. This will enable AP as well as the country capture the growing global aerospace and defence market which is currently pegged at over $800bn," said co-founder of Sankhya Technologies, Murali Bulusu.
