Created by the airline industry to revolutionize the aviation parts business
Spec 2000 is a comprehensive set of e-business specifications, products and services designed to overcome longstanding challenges to the industry's supply chain.
We are an active participant in the ongoing development of Spec 2000 and participate in a number of ATA e-business program working groups, including:
Digital Security Working Group to address the application of digital security technologies and standards to e-Business specifications (including Spec42)
e-Logbook Project Team (ELPT) dedicated to the creation and maintenance of an industry standard defining Electronic Logbook data exchange – this will include flight log (journey log) and maintenance log (airplane faults, maintenance actions, maintenance release, servicing) information
The Electronic Documentation Project Team (EDPT)* develops industry standards for the electronic exchange of Part Certification Forms (e.g., air worthiness release certificates, part certification forms, transfer documents, etc.)
The RFID on Parts Project Team develops industry standards for the encoding of data on RFID tags which are to be affixed to parts for the life of the part
The Software Distribution Project Team recommends enhancements and developing aviation industry consensus for the changes to methods and practices for the delivery of Field Loadable Software (FLS)
The Supply Chain Management Interest Group for part procurement, provisioning, repair, warranty, trading partner management and other supply chain functions
* The EDPT has launched a new initiative to provide a transition process for users of Spec 2000 forms who have not yet embraced the latest technology in XML. This is a critical step to ensure the interoperability of the community information exchange.
