The Maestro project is a digital twin for the fictional Swift Construction Company (SCC), a small-to-medium-sized engineering and manufacturing company.
The SCC provides the back story for exploring engineering product development, product lifecycle management and general business workflows.
A non-proprietary data set incorporates:
- Parts – part numbers, revisions, sources, related documents, bills-of-materials, and change management.
- Projects – purpose, requirements, plan, people, tasks, scheduling, forecast and consumed labor and costs.
- Issues – reports, relationships, investigations, and corrective actions.
- Stock – on-hand quantities of parts, including serial numbers, supply chain, purchasing, and traceability.
- Files – engineering and ad hoc documents, with revisions, authors, editors, approvers, and search tags.
- Users – authentication, groups and access control.
The Swift Construction Company
The Swift Construction Company is based on the company of the same name in the Tom Swift series of youth science fiction and adventure books published in the early 1900’s. The Swift Construction Company was a small-to-medium enterprise (SME), engaged in high-tech design engineering, manufacturing, sales and services.
Books published before 1923 are in the public domain, making the employees, projects, customers and suppliers freely available for the Maestro project.
SCC Quality Management System (QMS)
The Swift Construction Company maintains a formal quality management system or QMS, modelled on ISO 9001:2008. The SCC Quality System Manual (QSM) is managed online in the SCC Wiki.
Swift Construction Company QSM pages include:
