5
Assembly Management StandardsInitial Thoughts On
Content

• Address processes identified in component level
  standards (IEC 62239/PAS IEC 62240/PAS).
• Increased emphasis on systems engineering aspects
  (open systems, DMS Mitigation, etc.).
• Extended range to address all environments
  (vibration, temperature cycling, moisture/
  corrosion, etc.).
• Establish environmental grades?
• Smart numbering system?

6
Assembly Management StandardsInitial Thoughts On
Content (Continued)

• Concerns/recommendations by platform type?
• Deliverable product only?
• Business practices (warranty, incentives, etc.)?

Assembly Management StandardsGroundrules

• It is unrealistic to try to define lists of
  assemblies that are always acceptable or,
  conversely, always unacceptable, in avionics
  applications.
• The important consideration in deciding whether
  or not a assembly can be used in a given
  application is the process used to assure its
  function, qualification, quality assurance, and
  reliability assurance.
• The process requirements should be based on
  industry consensus, and should be flexible enough
  to allow avionics OEMs to implement them in ways
  that are most efficient for them, and effective
  for the customer.

10
Assembly Management StandardsGroundrules

• The process, as implemented by a given avionics
  OEM, should be common for all programs and all
  customers, including aircraft integrators,
  regulatory agencies, defense agencies, etc. This
  will minimize cost and optimize quality and
  reliability.
• There should be effective and efficient
  verification that the above process is
  implemented and maintained correctly.
