How to create, manage, and publish MIL-STD-40051

Traditionally, delivering MIL-STD 40051 information would require you to manually:

  • configure your XML editor to create data in the correct format for MIL-STD 40051 delivery
  • share files with collaborators and reviewers to validate and meet contractual requirements
  • check for engineering updates to ensure that your technical information is up to date
  • create RPSTL and other 40051 deliverables

Recognizing the costs in time and resource of working in this way, GPSL have developed 40051 for PTC Windchill to streamline and automate the creation, management, and delivery of MIL-STD-40051.
