The author presents a brief case history of support engineering integration during development of the HARM Weapon System, a joint Navy/Air Force program that achieved its design reliability requirements. The overall approach and the analyses are reviewed. Use of available reliability and maintainability (R and M) CAE tools allowed timely integration of the support engineering functions. However, the tools have some shortcomings that limit R and M engineers' effectiveness.<>

Electronics customers throughout the world are demanding that costs decrease and that performance increases. New technologies are emerging to answer these demands but are usually filled with new problems. Past solutions attempted to control processes by creating tighter specifications. This methodology has led to greater expense and needs to be improved upon. Surface mount technology (SMT) has emerged to increase the packaging density and decrease the cost of printed wiring assemblies. The design, manufacture, and operations of SMT assemblies make up a highly coupled system with significant ill-understood interactions. At present, Northrop Electronics Systems Division is using robust design techniques to make designs inherently less sensitive to interaction of raw materials, manufacturing methods, and operating environment variations. A concurrent engineering approach was used to design the solution to the problem. A team of representatives from circuit board design, manufacturing and quality organizations brainstormed possible control variables and defined the measurement (reliability) to be used in the experiment.<>

Computer-aided acquisition and logistics support (CALS) is a collection of standards for data exchange and a strategy for information sharing and integration. An information base that provides the complete, computer-sensible definition of the product to be designed, manufactured, and supported is the key element for CALS' success. Implementation of the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) is recognized by government and industry in the US and Europe as the mechanism to achieve the CALS integrated weapon systems database. The purpose of the article is to provide a short overview of the Produce Data Exchange using STEP (PDES) effort and to highlight the importance of STEP to CALS.<>

Discusses integrated product development (IPD), the US Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) implementation of concurrent engineering, which simultaneously considers product design, manufacturing processes, and support processes. In consonance with OSD (US Office of Secretary of Defense) guidance, AFSC has embarked on a broad program to change its engineering processes to reflect concurrent engineering. The AFSC approach employs critical-process analysis, tailoring to accommodate product differences, pilot programs, and transition to a way of doing business. Major facets of the program include: near-term education and training; major weapon system development programs; long-term policy, guidance, education, and training; and research and development.<>

GIMADS, (Generic Integrated Maintenance Diagnostics) is an Air Force R&D program. The purpose is to devise and document a process to integrate diagnostics into new designs up front as part of the design activity. General Dynamics is the prime contractor and Bell Hellicopter is one of several subcontractors. This paper is a brief overview of five years work. The conclusions of the work show integrated diagnostics to be a process with three main elements: all needs are considered; all methods are considered; and the total system is addressed.<>

Good progress has been made in the reliability and maintenance computer aided engineering arena but much effort is still required. The user industry, specifically the R&M community, must define the requirements for missing capabilities that satisfy R&M needs. The requirements for each tool must be sufficiently unified to establish viable commercial CAE product needs that will attract CAE vendors' interest in development. Alternatively, industries themselves can band together to have the tools developed. The CAE industry is providing some great capabilities and making good progress. It is up to us, the R&M community, to make sure that our needs are addressed in these automation advances. The purpose of this paper is to provide a quick overview of three areas of interest to reliability and maintainability: concurrent engineering; R&M CAE Status; and R&M CAE needs.<>

Team/Design is an object-oriented, knowledge-based software tool developed for concurrent engineering design of both complex and simple systems. It enhances design decision-making by enabling consideration of and trade off among multiple design goals, specifications and constraints, and selection among alternatives to create the total quality product. The original impetus behind the development of Team/Design was the recognition of the need to create a flexible, effective design modeling and decision support system for concurrent engineering/system engineering. The method enhances the total quality (eg., cost performance, supportability, producibility, schedule) of the resulting product while increasing the efficiency of the design process. Object-oriented user interface techniques provide a natural approach to enable systems engineers and other design engineers to model and analyze an early-stage design from the concurrent engineering viewpoint. The development of Team/Design has shown the object-oriented, methodology to be viable for concurrent engineering decision support.<>

In an automated environment, concurrent engineering is impossible without standards. The full automation and integration of industrial processes is impossible unless standardised hardware and software, especially standardised knowledge and information models, exist to allow intercommunication among all types of computerised systems.
