Correction - ETMs are Electronic Technical Manuals
We made several errors in the previous newsletter's article on ETMs and IETMs. Kevin D. Paulson was kind enough to point these out and he offers some comments as well. (Mr. Paulson is the IETM/JCALS/LIDB (EOPDB) Program Manager, US Army Materiel Command (USAMC) Logistics Support Activity.)
First, ETMs are Electronic Technical Manuals and IETMs are Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals.
Second, the Army's IETM Strategic Plan was issued/released in May 2000. Mr.Paulson is also Co-Chair of the IETM Working Group that developed and issued this plan.
Third, in jumping from ETMs (in the title) to IETMs (in the article), we may have confused some readers. "This gives the impression to a novice reader that these two technologies are one and the same; that is not correct and we should not give that impression. They are two totally separate entities!"
Fourth, we also may have given the impression that IETMs are only diagnostic products. "That is farthest from the truth! IETMs contain all the information that existing Technical Manuals currently contain (such as operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and provisioning procedures) with the diagnostic capability and on-board sensors being just part of the overall IETM."
We have incorporated these points in a re-written article on IETMs that can be viewed at: http://www.dclab.com/IETMs.asp. |
