| What are the eight essential steps in the detail design and development process |
|
Definition
1- developing design requirements for all lower-level components of the system
2- Implementing the necessary technical activities to fulfill all design objectives
3 - Integrating system elements and activities
4 - Selecting and utlizing tools and aids
5 - Preparing design data and documentation
6 - Developing engineering and prototype models
7 - Implementing a design review, evaluation, and feedback capability
8 - Incorporating design changes as appropriate |

Term
| How do you get to a product baseline? |
|
Definition
| Iterative steps of synthesis, analysis, and evaluation, and the definition of components. |
|
|
Term
| What determines what kind of elements are included? (COTS, modified COTS, new) |
|
Definition
| functions to be performed, availability and stability of current technology, number or soucres of supply and supplier response times, reliability and maintainability requirements, supportability requirements, cost, etc. |
|
|
Term
| How can you benefit from mock ups? |
|
Definition
1 - Experiment with different layouts
2 - Provide human factors with opportunity to accomplish a more effective review of a proposed design
3 - Provide design engineer with the tool for conveying the final design
4 - marketing
5 - train ops & maintenance
6 - help fabrication get ready
7 - can be used to verify later. |

|
Term
| What kinds of data needs to be stored and integrated? |
|
Definition
1 - Design drawings
2 - material parts and lists
3 - analyses and reports

Term
| What is the purpose of an engineering model? |
|
Definition
| Demonstrate some of the functions that the system is to ultimeatly perform for the customer by constructing an 'operating' model and utilizing it in a research-oriented environment in an engineering shop, or equivalent. |
|
|
Term
| What does a prototype model represent? |
|
Definition
| The production/construction configuration of a system in all aspects of form, fit, and function except it has not been fully qualified in terms of operational and environmental testing. |
|
|
Term
| What is the objective of a prototype model? |
|
Definition
| Accomplish a specified amount of testing for the purposes of design evaluation proir to entering a formal test and evaluation phase. |
|
|
Term
| What is the purpose of conducting a formal design review? |
|
Definition
| Asses if the design configuration, as envisioned at the time, is in compliance with the intially specified quantitative and qualitative requirements |
|
|
Term
| Should each team track different types of technical performance measures? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are some other things that might need to be considered with regards to tracking? |
|
Definition
Life of a component - if it's not going to last the whole life it needs to have a maintenance schedule
Obsolescence - address before the fact. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Proposal of change if it meets the requirements of the system specification. |
