Enigma/IBM TDMD Features and Benefits

TDMD is a powerful combination of the Enigma 3C solution with IBM’s Content Manager and Document Manager solutions. The resulting footprint provides a complete response to the needs of maintenance and engineering departments trying to optimize the service and support of complex equipment. From the process of editing, reviewing and approving service information through the troubleshooting, repair and reporting process, the entire workflow is both managed and controlled to lower the cost and improve the consistency of maintenance execution. TDMD is an intuitive and easy to use application designed for aircraft maintenance and engineering departments. It provides powerful integration capabilities, a rich functionality set, and the resulting aircraft maintenance encyclopedia is available in on-line, off-line, and mobile environments.

The technology behind TDMD is based on the extensive airline MRO delivery experience of IBM and Enigma with some of the world's largest aerospace, manufacturing and automotive companies.

Benefits

TDMD makes engineers and technicians more effective by providing the right information in the right place at the right time.

For the engineering department, Enigma’s automatic comparison tools coupled with IBM’s content/document management, review, and approval tools mean that technical writers and engineers can quickly recognize what has been changed in the aircraft maintenance requirements. This greatly accelerates and organizes the process of reviewing and approving maintenance plans.

For the maintenance department, TDMD allows maintenance technicians on the flight line and in the hangar to see all of the latest service manuals, parts catalogs and troubleshooting guides that are relevant for each specific aircraft. It filters and delivers only the information that is relevant to the specific aircraft (by tail number), and the maintenance task, and the maintainer’s role, thus enabling efficient and consistent maintenance.

Enigma TDMD helps aviation maintenance departments to:

  • Decrease maintenance costs by 10-15%
  • Increase equipment availability
  • Realize substantial efficiency gains
  • Improve regulatory compliance
  • Control/manage technical documentation
  • Increase maintenance capacity and drive business growth
  • Reduce IT expenses by using Enigma’s open application architecture to integrate with existing maintenance applications
