The Maestro project is a digital twin for the operations of a typical engineering, manufacturing and sales enterprise, represented by the fictional Swift Construction Company (SCC) from the Tom Swift series of youth science fiction and adventure books published in the early 1900’s.
The SCC provides the back story to explore engineering product development and general business workflows, using a non-proprietary data set based on:
- 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.
Employees
The SCC organization has specific individuals in expected roles for exploring typical workflows.
