Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use systems engineering procedures to set up management procedures for engineering design projects involving the design of complex systems that require the integration of subsystems and components by a multi-discipline engineering team. The management processes may relate to all design stages and may include the development of systems software. In the production and life-cycle management stages, systems engineering design stage output data may be used in the application of configuration management (CM) procedures and to support the application of integrated logistic support (ILS; covered by MEACOM0023 Perform aviation maintenance-related integrated logistic support management activities) where justified by system size and complexity or where required by contract. Work may be done by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and the Defence Aviation Safety Authority (DASA). Any other relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Analyse and document system requirements
  • 1.1 Identify and document customer or contractual system requirements including inputs and relevant regulatory requirements
  • 1.2 Set up a system engineering team and allocate responsibilities
  • 1.3 Analyse system requirements and define functional requirements and design constraints
2. Perform functional analysis and allocation
  • 2.1 Decompose system functions to lower-level functions applicable to system design
  • 2.2 Allocate design constraints to all functional levels
  • 2.3 Define and refine internal and external functional interfaces
  • 2.4 Define, refine and integrate functional architecture
  • 2.5 Review functional analysis outcomes against requirements and revise where necessary
  • 2.6 Develop and document the functional baseline
3. Manage preliminary design activities
  • 3.1 Coordinate the development of performance specifications for the system and components
  • 3.2 Define alternatives for system concepts, components and system elements
  • 3.3 Select preferred product and process solutions
  • 3.4 Define and refine internal and external physical interfaces
  • 3.5 Define and refine system software requirements
  • 3.6 Develop and document the allocated baseline
4. Manage the detail design activities
  • 4.1 Coordinate the development of item, process and material specifications
  • 4.2 Coordinate the development of software specifications
  • 4.3 Coordinate the development of engineering drawings and associated material/component/hardware lists
  • 4.4 Coordinate the development of item performance specifications
  • 4.5 Determine product review and design verification procedures
  • 4.6 Develop and document the product baseline
5. Provide oversight of production and delivery
  • 5.1 Apply product review and verification procedures and initiate action to remedy design or production deficiencies
  • 5.2 Ensure that all relevant regulatory requirements are being met
6. Provide for life-cycle management of the system, components and software
  • 6.1 Where there is a contractual requirement for application of CM, provide the technical data package and define the configuration items and baselines
  • 6.2 Where there is a contractual requirement for ILS, provide the technical data package and data required for the development of the relevant ILS plans
  • 6.3 Where there are no contractual requirements regarding life-cycle management, deliver the technical data package and develop procedures for the management of the configuration of the system, system components and software that meet relevant regulatory requirements
