Case Study
Rolls-Royce North America - Aircraft, Industrial and Marine Engines
Rolls-Royce North America, located in Indianapolis, is a trusted leader for land, sea and air power solutions worldwide. Rolls-Royce uses HyperSTE to ensure compliance of its technical publications with ASD Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100).
The challenge
- to standardize documentation in compliance with the Simplified Technical English specification ASD-STE100
- to improve quality and readability of manuals
- to reduce cycle time
The solution
Tedopres developed a dictionary containing Rolls-Royce standardized terminology and trained Rolls-Royce technical writers and editors on the rules of ASD Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) and how to use the HyperSTE software.
As part of the implementation process, Rolls-Royce uses the HyperSTE checker software to ensure that all manuals comply with ASD Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100), including the use of standardized and consistent Rolls-Royce terminology.
The results
Implementing ASD Simplified Technical English and HyperSTE yielded the following results for Rolls-Royce:
- Compliance with ASD Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100), a requirement for aerospace manuals.
- Better quality and readability of manuals.
- Reduced cycle time.
- Better reusability of text.
