Abstract
In aeronautics, the development of a new aircraft is usually organised in sequence. That means the aircraft is designed first, then its industrial system. Therefore, the industrial system may endure stringent constraints due to aircraft design choices. This can result in suboptimal performance with respect to manufacturing. But approaches such as Collaborative Engineering or Concurrent Engineering invite different engineering teams to work simultaneously and together in order to open up new prospects for a product design. In the context of a project that aims at developing methods and tools for co-designing an aircraft and its industrial system, we use Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) to model and to understand their respective expectations but also their dependencies. In this paper, we describe our application of goal modelling based on three iterative attempts. We start from an exploratory stage to have a global picture of the dependencies between the design of an aircraft nose section and its industrial system. We finish with a focus on a smaller problem in which we understand the key elements of the assembly line performance based on a nose design. For each attempt, we describe our results and feedback, and show how we overcame issues raised at the previous stage. We also highlight the links with known issues about GORE practical application.
