Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI/TUSAŞ) is
Turkey's centre of technology in design, development, modernisation,
manufacturing, integration and lifecycle support of integrated aerospace
systems, including fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs and
satellites.
TAI asked Shufra to assess the level of compliance of its documentation
with the ASD-STE100 specification. Based on the findings, Shufra
delivered an advanced training course for the technical writers and
other people in the ILS department, providing them with new insights to
take compliance to the next level. Writers especially liked the workshop
that allowed participants to review and rewrite their own document
samples under the guidance of the experienced Dr Frans Wijma who is widely regarded as the leading expert in Simplified
Technical English, aviation documentation and multilingual
documentation. He gave ASD-STE100 training to over 130 companies
worldwide. Customers include Black & Decker, Boeing, Microsoft,
Rolls-Royce and Samsung.
Said ILS specialist Mr Halil Kan: "TAI hired Frans to work with our experienced team and help them to
improve their ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English skills. Frans
helped us to identify areas for improvement both in our own documents
and in those supplied by our customers and partners. At the end of the
training, we all had learned simple yet effective methods to improve the
quality, readability and compliance of our writing. Most importantly,
we learned how to scrutinize text for commonly made mistakes and how to
balance compliance with optimum readability. We enjoyed working with
Frans, who has a pleasant personality and an open mind. I am happy to
recommend him to any company that wants to improve its documentation, be
it for compliance reasons or to facilitate translation."
