“…(Martin, 2000), discussing the genesis of EIA 632, states that it is expected that documents similar to EIA 632 will emerge for specific domains, such as aircraft. (Jeffroy, et al, 1999) shows how Airbus Industrie, makers of the Airbus line of aircraft, adhere to the basic principles of SE. A basic principle of these works, as well as these Guidelines, is that aircraft and air transportation systems are systems with their own unique functions and drivers.…”

The Joint Commercial Aircraft Working Group (JCAWG) consists of members from INCOSE, other professional societies, major aircraft manufacturers, regulatory agencies, suppliers, and other companies in the commercial aircraft domain. JCAWG is chairing the development of a supplemental guideline for the Commercial Aircraft Transport Domain under the title of “Guidelines for the Application of Systems Engineering in the Commercial Aircraft Domain.” The primary purpose of the Guidelines is to span the gap between the ANSI/EIA standard and other guidelines in the aircraft industry. These Guidelines are expected to be the forerunner for similar guidelines in other application domains.

At the very beginning of a new program, the environment is not stable because nobody is able to know the answers to the future needs from the previous solutions. In this phase, it is necessary to brain storm with potential customers in order to identify new ideas that are emerging and to learn very fast from the feedback, because the target is moving. The elicitation of the basic ideas allows the preparation of a consistent framework of top level requirements and design solutions. It is a factor of critical success for the continuation of the project. Since the beginning of the development of A380, Airbus has organized many workshops (Customer Focus Group / CFG) with Airline companies who are potential customers of the A380, Airports and other stakeholders. These events give the opportunity to elicit customers needs and to provide visibility on design. This is supported by a process that covers: ‐ customer requests capture and validation during workshop or during bilateral meeting; ‐ processing of the request ‐ feedback and acknowledgment by the customer In addition, the repository used to manage the requests and answers is a source for Top Level Requirements that drives the development of the A380. The role of the CFG is fundamental to support communication between airlines customers and Airbus specialists from all disciplines. It allows establishing a common and clear vision of the purposes to be achieved by the new product. This paper presents the engineering process deployed by Airbus to guarantee the consideration of the customer point of view and ensure its satisfaction on the final product.

Systems engineering metrics and applications in product development: A critical literature review and agenda for further research

The military/aerospace industries have several decades of experience in the application of systems engineering. In the world of complex systems developed under contract, systems engineering has a well‐articulated, generally accepted, client‐mandated methodology. This is not the case currently in most commercially oriented research and development organizations. Unlike the military/aerospace environment, it is not widely accepted that systems engineering can or will deliver value within commercial enterprises. This said, it is possible that a systems engineering‐like methodology may be routinely employed but not so stated, or is recognized under a different label. This seems likely since complex products continue to be successfully developed and commercialized via the use of methods that are closely related to systems engineering. The purpose of this paper is to establish the groundwork for measuring the effectiveness of the systems engineering methodology, and closely associated analogs, as part of the product development process in a commercial research and development organization. In this paper, we review the literature in systems engineering and related fields to identify measurement issues and methodologies, specific metrics proposed and in use, and case studies and best practices. We also identify gaps in the literature and propose the next steps in a research agenda. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng
