Method
A structured approach proportional to project risks.
The objective is not to add process, but to make technical decisions faster, more traceable and more robust.
01
Frame the need
Clarify needs, constraints, interfaces, maturity and success criteria.
02
Identify risks
Prioritise technical, industrial and schedule risks to focus effort on critical points.
03
Structure the architecture
Define functions, interfaces, structural choices and the compliance-demonstration strategy.
04
Design & develop
Size, simulate, prototype, integrate and document technical choices.
05
Demonstrate compliance
Build traceability and conduct integration, verification, validation and qualification.
06
Prepare series production
Transfer data, support suppliers, manage deviations and secure the first series.
07
Capture lessons learned
Use test results, non-conformities and field feedback to improve the product.
Working principles
Engineering that project, test, quality and production teams can understand and use.
Traceability
Connect needs, design choices, risks and evidence of compliance.
Pragmatism
Adapt the level of formality to criticality, maturity and project objectives.
Transfer
Produce data and decisions reusable by internal teams and suppliers.
