SIAC V3(Sistema Identificativo Automatizzato Centralizzato)

SIAC v3SIAC is the Automated Centralized Identification System for items identification and codification of the Italian Ministry of Defence, according to NATO Codification System, regulated by Allied Committee 135 and based on the rules of Standards Agreements (STANAGS) and Allied Codification Publication n. 1 (ACodP–1).

Thesi Tecnologie

The partiesSupplier: it initiates the request for coding of the materials to the Contracting AuthoritySupplier

CA

OCC

Registry

CONTRACTING AUTHORITY: after inspecting the formal and substantial quality of the lists submitted by the Supplier, CA forwards the lists to OCC (the italian NCB)

ORGANO CENTRALE DI CODIFICAZIONE (OCC): Italian NCB performs screening of items contained in the lists received, in order to verify the existence of the NSN (NATO Stock Number) and the relative attribution.

Registry: it handles communication between the various parties, it is a common element that allows real time transmission of the files and of the related notifications

Thesi Tecnologie

Profiling• A Profile is a set of functions, that it’s

possible to use in the system.• Every function is associated with reading,

writing and updating actions: the system let you activate one or more of these activities.

Thesi Tecnologie

Profiling• It’s the methodology that allows for the

authorization of the parties involved in the process to perform only the activities they are able to, avoiding improper use of the system

Thesi Tecnologie

Profiling• SIAC v3 has a simple, but powerful,

structure, because of the sharing of the subsystems among different users, thanks to profiling.

• You can imagine the entire system as a pyramid where:• the different parties, seen above, are

represented by their influence area;• The subsystems are distributed at different levels

Thesi Tecnologie

Profiling• SIAC subsystems are those represented in

the pyramid:• Administration• Codification Requests• NSN• Transactions• ParametersThe influence area, the parties can count on, is regulated by profiling

Thesi Tecnologie

Profiling• The Supplier can operate:• on its Administration• on Codification Requests,

entering lists and items data• on NSN, partially, because it can

view only a part of the NSNs

Thesi Tecnologie

Supplier

Profiling• The CA can operate:• on its Administration• on Codification Requests,

validating lists and entering its lists and items data

• on NSN, partially, because it can view all the NSNs, but it can’t modify them

Thesi Tecnologie

Contracting Authority

Profiling• The OCC can operate:• on its Administration• on Codification Requests,

screening lists and items, and assigning NSNs

• on NSN, because it can view all the NSNs, and it can modify them

• on Transaction, from and to NAMSA

• on Parameters

User management• Access to the System is regulated by online

registration on the SIAC website. The registration certifies the Supplier as the User or legal representative, who will have the possibility to create new users in the section of the system.

• These users will be official delegates that the new SIAC will recognize as authorized users.

Thesi Tecnologie

FIIGs• To answer requirements of the FIIG, the

application provides instructions for replies. The referring FIIGs are articulated, according to the type of the item, in questions that the supplier has to answer in order to describe the proposed item in the most detailed way, and to allow the system to assign an Identification Type to the item itself.

• The user can always count on links to FIIGs, in pdf format, if necessary

• The window shows the model the FIIG reply instruction are represented by

• The user chooses one MRC, letting the system indicate description, definition and istructions

• MRCs are divided in mandatory and optional ones

SIAC v3 and FIIG Drawing Management

Thesi Tecnologie

• SIAC v3 manages all the images linked to the FIIGs, allowing their visualization, in order to have a clear representation of MRC to answer to

• This graphic management is shown in the next slide

SIAC v3 and FIIG Tables Management

Thesi Tecnologie

• In SIAC v3 there are all the tables the user have to choose correct value from, in order to simplify the construction of the replies to the MRCs, and to avoiding human errors.

• An example of this tables management is shown in the next slide.

Parameters• The subsystem allows the user to modify

and/or update all the drop-down list hard data, thus letting a great customization of the activities.

• The Italian NCB, i.e. OCC, only can modify these values.

Thesi Tecnologie

Item Compilation status• The Compilation Status field, in Article Detail

window, contains some red alerts, describing what is lacking to complete the Article’s description.

• Every time the user enters some data or fills out a card (RN, CM03, GM02, etc.), the system removes the related alert.

• This behaviour of the system give consistency to the lists, avoiding the delivering of lists, which lacks of necessary or mandatory data.

Thesi Tecnologie

Multilanguage System• SIAC v3 is a multilanguage system. It can

implement any language, by filling out appropriate tables, related to DCN.

• The next slide shows an example of different languages applied to the system.
