scope:

This specification is designed to cover all Materiel Management activities in support of military Products. The procedures describe the interfaces between Industry and Customer, which, when based upon contractual agreements, will provide the typical deliver-ables of the Logistic Materiel Management as illustrated.

S2000M is organized into chapters which are designed to stand alone for ease of understanding as well as ease of implementation. However, where subjects are common to more than one chapter, these have been assigned to Appendices which have to be read in conjunction with the related chapter.

The nature of the project using S2000M will determine the range of deliver-ables that are required and hence the depth to which the S2000M procedures need to be employed. As well as the opportunity for users to employ individual chapters independently, the S2000M also provides a "light" version of the procedures which are described in the appropriate sections of chapter 6.

PURPOSE

Specification 2000M (S2000M) originally defined the Materiel Management processes and procedures to be used in support of aircraft and other aerospace airborne and ground equipment supplied to Military Customers. However, with version 4.0, it has been revised to include the business processes and data requirements applicable to any military Product.

Although this Specification is designed for military Product support, it may nevertheless be used for the support of any non-military Product.
