  1. Example of Applied Systems Engineering at BAE SYSTEMS & ALENIA MARCONI SYSTEMS By Keith Minnican Friday 27th July 2001 12/19/2019/MS115-01

  2. Historical Product Development Life-Cycle: Systems View StructuredSub-SystemSpecifications SystemSpecifications System Co-ordination RequirementsAnalysis Configuration &Change Control Acceptance Criteria CustomerRequirements Sub-System Design Integration by Area/Zone Procurement Long Lead - Vendor Agreements - Call Offs What the Customer Wanted In-ServiceSupport Manufacture &Assembly by Area/Zone Test & Commissioningby System AcceptanceTrials

  3. Historically: Stand-Alone Sequential Processes Are they finished yet?When will we get the drawings?Is there anybody listening?Is there anybody there?

  4. The Old Shipyard Way: “Over the Wall” Inefficiency during transfer of knowledge and understanding Understanding what’s gone before Iterations • Information was not effectively shared, resulting in physical rework • Market pressures forced reduced Design & Build Timescales

  5. Organisation • Programme Based • Prime Contract Organisation • Fixed Price • Multi-disciplined Design and Build Teams • Concurrent Engineering • Shared Data environment across all sites • Design and Build • Engineering Directorate • Design support to programmes • Development of Processes and Systems • Resource development and deployment • External Design related Contracts • Research and Design Related activities

  16. Key Success Factors • Satisfactory Design Validation of Stage 0 • Build Strategy • Detailed planning and integration • Requirements Capture and Management • Appropriate System Partitioning • Functional Analysis • Transverse requirement management • Controlled Design Reviews • Successful Tollgate entry and exit between all stages • Facts Based trade-offs

  17. Working Towards ~ A Common Approach Integrated Processes, Measures and Systems Processes & Best Practice Data & Systems Architecture Measures & Norms

  18. Internal Customer Perceptions • Processes • Global understanding • Ownership • Management • Effectiveness Measures • Measures • Not uniformly applied • Unclear • Ownership

  19. Internal Customer Perceptions • Data • Understanding of Product Database • Data structures Complex • Data categorisation • Systems Architecture • Ability to absorb • Extensive Support and training • What to use when

  20. Internal Customer Perceptions • Basics are sound (Stage 0, 1, 2 and 3) need to concentrate on ‘making it work’ and how best to apply and operate. • Education and Awareness • Ownership • Compliance Audits • Review & Refresh • Hierarchy • Touch & Feel

  21. Form and Content: Touch and Feel • Written in QA speak - not for Engineers • Documents seen as an ‘evil’- for audit only • Process content of variable quality

  22. HVAC Standards & Training Applications Process Executive Summary Conventions Manuals Best Practice Help Measures & Contacts Hints & Tips Office Assistant Norms Who to See Electrical Best Practice Guides • Best Practice Examples • Piping Worst Practice Examples • Search • Hull Structure Hull/Hull Mechanical Hull Outfit Home • Removal Routes Seats/Mountings Penetrations Compartments GA Whole Ship Integration Proposed Documentation / Information Structure

  23. Processes Systems Measures Best Practice Norms Hints & Tips Working Towards - A Common Book Approach • Common set of Processes, Measures & Systems • Ownership of Processes, Measures & Systems with knowledge and area of expertise • Check applicability and appropriateness ~ refresh • Monitor compliance ~ usage and content • Taking the Service LevelAgreement that step further!

  24. Processes Systems Measures Best Practice Norms Hints & Tips Working Towards - Common framework to support each Project (Taking the Service Level Agreement that step further) • Processes & Best Practice • Applications & CVmacs • System & Data Architecture • Measures • Training • Compliance Checks • Change Request, Implementation & Management • Customer Charter • Common Framework Configuration Control
