Airbus, producer of Airbus airliners since 1970, is a multinational division of EADS employing 57,000 people in France, Germany, Spain, and the UK. When Airbus began work on the A380 Superjumbo aircraft, it also began work on building new documentation systems. The PDF files and paper used for past airliner documentation could not adequately address a product that would require over a million pages of customized documentation and a thousand people in four countries developing the content.
The vast scale of the A380 documentation, its complexity, its rate of change, its customization, its integration with customers' repair and maintenance information systems, and regulatory requirements pose enormous challenges. These challenges drive stringent requirements for the documentation system.
Find out how the Airbus documentation team mastered these challenges by reading the new Patricia Seybold Case Study entitled "Airbus's Super Jumbo Content Challenge".
