Title: Capability (C045): representing_product_as_realized - Representing a product as realized - Issues [2/5]

Hi Rob,
I  note the following issue is still open

Issue: RBN-1 by Rob Bodington (04-03-13) minor_technical issue
Resolution: Accept. Status: open

How are Product_as_realized versioned? Does each version keep the same serial number and then just have a new version number assigned?

ANSWER - Yes - the product keeps its original serial No. thru life. The version depicts its operational 'capability'.
e.g - A Harrier GR 5 serial ZX 138 is a day attack fighter/bomber, the same aircraft (ZX 138) converted to a GR 7 version provides an additional night attack capability. On the product configuration status record (CSR) it would show additional OEM references, a CUM No. ( a as designed serial number as identified on the drawings; a LBS (line build sequence) No as depicted on the manufacturing process. This provides the traceability of the product thru both 'design and manufacture linked to the actual operators serial (in this example 138)

I understand in a commercial aircraft environment the OEM serial for the product would  be the 'master' in respect to the realized products CSR, the tail no. would be a 'master' in respect to operator.

In the PLCS bike example the serial of the bike remains the same irrespective if it is in racing or road wheel 'trim'/version.

regards
 Gordon
