Systems Engineering – a key approach to Transportation Electrification

2024-26-012801/16/2024

The automotive industry has seen accelerating demand for electrified transportation. While the complexity of conventional ICE vehicles has increased, the powertrain still largely consists of a mechanical system. In contrast, vehicle architectures in electrified transportation are a complex integration of power electronics, batteries, control units, and software. This shift in system architecture impacts the entire organization during new product development, with increased focus on high power electronic components, energy management strategies, and complex algorithm development. Additionally, product development impact extends beyond the vehicle and impacts charging networks, electrical infrastructure, and communication protocols. The complex interaction between systems has a significant impact on vehicle safety, development timeline, scope, and cost. A systems engineering approach, with emphasis on requirements definition and traceability, helps ensure decomposition of top level

Traceability Verification with respect to DO-178 and AS 9115

2022-26-120005/26/2022

As many business analysts say, following Aerospace guideline DO-178 for developing aerospace software products is not cheap and it comes with a cost. That too, experts say DO-178C can increase the cost of the product above DO-178B, which already increased costs by around 20-40%. So, to keep the cost under control, it is definitely important that we need to develop the software product by following various technical methodology and processes rigorously. DO-178 relies upon significant verification (reviews, tests, and analysis) to assess product quality. However, product quality comes from a quality process, design, and implementation, not just from testing. Performing Traceability verification is one such approach to determine if the requirements are correctly and completely captured, designed, implemented and verified. In this paper we discuss the various phases of the project lifecycle where the Traceability verification needs to be performed. These Traceability verifications are a

Customer Challenges Lead to Innovative Solutions

TBMG-3533610/01/2019

Contract manufacturers have an increasingly critical role in medical device manufacturing. For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that choose to outsource manufacturing operations, a successful contract manufacturing organization (CMO) partnership can help ensure that a new product will reach the market sooner, achieve financial success, and deliver high-quality innovation to end users.

Compliance Verification Matrix (VM) Slash Sheet for AS6174A, Counterfeit Materiel; Assuring Acquisition of Authentic and Conforming Materiel

AS6174/1 (Current)04/11/2017

The verification matrix (VM) in this slash sheet is intended for use to establish compliance to AS6174A. This slash sheet is applicable to AS6174A. Nothing in this slash sheet, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations, unless a specific exemption has been obtained through judicial/legal channels.

Five Strategies for Improving Aerospace Supply Chain Quality Management and Performance

2014-01-223109/16/2014

Aerospace suppliers face the daunting task of constantly improving time-to-market, reducing cost of quality and turning compliance into a competitive advantage. Managing to these constraints while staying profitable is a challenge faced by the entire aerospace supply chain face today. The intent of this presentation is to share five lessons learned on how aerospace suppliers can optimize for these three constraints while growing their businesses. The first is electronically enabling traceability both within a multi-tier supply chains and throughout suppliers. Automating traceability at the shop floor improves quality management and accelerates compliance. Specific methodologies and metrics used to accomplish this will be provided. Second, lessons learned from implementing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) showing how shop floor visibility has a direct effect on supplier performance is illustrated with case studies and metrics. Third, lessons learned in making compliance pay by

Continuity of a System Engineering Referential Repository Applied on an Aerospace Use Case

2012-01-214210/22/2012

A major challenge of a System Engineering approach lies in its ability to promote an efficient Process/Method/Tools environment that leads to an efficient and accurate System Referential Repository. The key factor is the definition of a centralized system referential repository that is shared by the various stakeholders involved in the success of industrial projects, including customers, system architects, hardware and software development suppliers, validation and safety teams. This paper describes the development of a use case modeled with the most appropriate tool-chain that fulfills the above System Engineering expectations. Based on standard documents (INCOSE Handbook, ARP4754) and on experience achieved by the development of many System Engineering projects, a methodological approach is defined. This approach includes the complete process from textual requirements, to operational description, to functional breakdown, to technical architecture, and finally to certified software

Integration of Axiomatic Design into a Corporate Development Environment

2005-01-152504/11/2005

Axiomatic Design is a powerful tool conceptualizing and analyzing a design at the earliest practical point. In addition to its analytic capabilities axiomatic design captures and preserves design intent and can provide a powerful traceability capability. As Axiomatic Design use expands to cover larger and more sophisticated development programs companies need to address specific changes in their internal design processes and in the integration of these processes into an overall product development environment.

Vehicle Electronic Systems Integration

92250111/01/1992

As power trains become more electronically complex, the process of vehicle requirements definition and electronics integration requires greater structure. Elements of the necessary structured process may be evolved from aerospace systems engineering processes, while specifically avoiding some of the inefficiencies associated with military development. The advantage of the structured process is that it facilitates needed decision making with regard to vehicle parameters which ultimately drive the bottom line transportation cost. Such a structured process is discussed, as well as the more classic integration functions such as standards, specifications, interface control, and integration and test.

Metrology: A Definition of Quality

91094804/01/1991

Since defining quality so it will be accepted from company to company is a difficult task. This paper will discuss definitions of quality and how metrology can assist a company in defining its' quality. The title; Metrology:A Definition of Quality implies an explanation of how metrologists thinking has become important to companies committed to quality. This paper discusses the advantages quality programs derive from having metrology heavily involved in their processes and procedures. This paper also talks about the changing role of metrologists from strictly calibrating of the test equipment to applying process metrology in order to ensure the overall quality of the products.

Fundamentals of Metrology and Quality

C1859

Metrology is an important component in manufacturing because it provides a rigorous method for Quality personnel to manage risk and uncertainty.To mitigate risk successfully and develop techniques for problem solving, it is important to evaluate sources of uncertainty, verification, and non-conformance. This seminar is intended to introduce the various principles associated with uncertainty of measurement; to explore the history of measurement, and to clearly identify calibration, true values, errors, uncertainty, traceability, random and systematic effects, repeatability and reproducibility. It will help you to understand why MSA can sometimes give wrong results; to know when uncertainty evaluation is required; and when a Gage R&R study is sufficient.
