Integrated Configuration Management Based on System Engineering

Abstract

The design and manufacturing process of an aircraft is a huge and complex SE-System Engineering involving a large group of specialized expertise. In the aviation design and manufacturing company(units), the production mode of small batch and multi modified production mode has become a trend. In this paper, configuration management is examined from the perspective of system engineering, the engineering domain involved in aircraft products is divided into many specialized fields, and according to the professional characteristics of merger into the order-cluster, requirement-cluster, design-cluster, manufacture-cluster, repair-cluster, finance-cluster, manpower-cluster, airworthiness-cluster etc., for these clusters of unified configuration management system called “Configuration management based on system engineering”. Need is a macro perspective to control product requirements, product design, product manufacturing, supply chain, trial inspection, maintenance, human property supply and a series of processes. The management of multi professional coupling data based on system engineering can be realized by integrating configuration management, improving data consistency to remove barriers between and within the enterprise.
