Adapting Systems Engineering to the Development of Commercial Aircraft (original) (raw)
This paper presents some alternative ways that the systems engineering process can be adapted for the commercial aviation domain. In particular the paper addresses some of the more onerous tasks normally performed in the military and aerospace domains. Among these processes are the requirements process and the design review process. The unique aspects of regional jets are explained. Other areas addressed are the organizational responsibilities in the commercial domain in which many organizations traditionally perceived to be managerial and non-technical have important roles in the systems engineering process. A final area addressed is supply chain management in which systems engineering is seen to have an important roll in helping to reduce the risks often seen in this process. The paper also suggests that these reforms could also result in higher quality products in the military and aerospace domains. This paper is adapted from selected parts of the book Systems Engineering for Commercial Aircraft by Scott Jackson (Farnham: Ashgate, 2015) by permission of the publishers (Farnham: Ashgate, 2015).
