The application activity model (AAM) is provided to aid in understanding the scope and information requirements defined in this application protocol. The model is presented as a set of figures that contain the activity diagrams and a set of definitions of the activities and their data. The application activity model diagrams are given in Figures F.1 through F.16. Activities and data flows that are out of scope are marked with an asterisk.

　NOTE The viewpoint of the application activity model is of an observer of the global ship development process. This activity model identifies the life cycle activities across all shipbuilding APs with extensions and emphasis appropriate to the ship arrangement. Activities related to the shipbuilding lifecycle that are not expanded in this activity model are detailed in other shipbuilding application protocols.

　

　

　The following terms are used in the application activity model. Terms marked with an asterisk are outside the scope of this application protocol.

　

　The definitions in this annex do not supersede the definitions given in the main body of the text.

　

F.1.1 approve general arrangements: This is the top level activity for the approval of the general arrangements. It is the entry activity for both the Design Approval Preview and checking against rules and regulations. The ship is not certified by this activity alone.

　

F.1.2 approved design: The approved design is the final design to be submitted as an offer.

　

F.1.3 arrangements: The arrangements of the ship are the ship's compartments and spaces. Any description of arrangements will include associated definitions of purpose for the compartment or space.

　

F.1.4 availability, reliability and maintainability information^*: The information about the components that is required to install them in the ship and is required for planned maintenance.
