The article summarizes authors’ experience of application of information technologies to support
the life cycle of complex technical systems (CTS), accumulated independently in the field of
creation and administration of such technologies in various industries, from the viewpoint of quality
management [1]. Products related to the category of CTS have a number of significant features
which make higher demands on the organization of their life cycle (LC). The creation of CTS is
usually done interacting collection of companies and organizations that require appropriate management
of their work at various stages of the life cycle. Expenses for creation of CTS pays off due
to their use over a long service life. Integrated indicator of CTS quality may serve as an indicator
of the effectiveness of CTS in the appointment during his lifetime. With the exception of the stage
of operation (which is realized the beneficial effects from the use of the product), the remaining
stages of the lifecycle are costly. The effectiveness of the lifecycle management of CTS largely depends
on the choice of means and methods of process management and lifecycle resources. In scientific
and technical literature and promotional materials of some firms are approved on the application
of homogeneous PLM systems [3, 4]. The analysis of the structure of events and resources
in the lifecycle of CTS (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) shows that the effective application of homogeneous
PLM systems is impossible. An integrated life-cycle management system of CTS should be based
in a geographically distributed heterogeneous information networks, which is a collection of autonomous
problem-oriented information systems, developing independently, provided preserve information
compatibility.
