1286. Waves – An Online Weight and Value Engineering System for Data Management. 1979.
Abstract
Bell Helicopter Textron has developed an innovative approach to the management and recording of mass properties data. The online data management system, WAVES, has made the weight analysis and control effort more effective and more efficient.
WAVES was developed using the Information Management System (IMS) software product of IBM to provide an effective computing tool for Engineering. The development was preceded by a comprehensive system study to determine required features and inherent inefficiencies.
