D-11. Systems Engineering (continued)
Evaluation Criteria
2. Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
Milestone
B C FRP
• A FRACAS is established and failures are analyzed and trended for product X U
support visibility.
• A FRACAS is performed on engineering development models, pre-production X U
units and production units.
3. System Reviews
• System requirements, including supportability, are flowed to subcontractors. X U
• The preliminary design review, including supportability, has been conducted. X
• The critical design review, including supportability, has been conducted. X
• The production readiness review has been performed to include an assessment of X
system supportability requirements.
4. Manufacturing Planning
• A manufacturing plan has been developed and includes: X U U
o A defect/variation prevention program.
o Manufacturing processes that have defined yield levels and have been
validated.
o Environmental stress screening to precipitate latent, intermittent or
incipient defects or flaws introduced during the manufacturing process.
5. Quality Assurance
• A Deficiency Reporting (DR) Program is established per TO 00-35D-54, USAF X U U
Deficiency Reporting and Investigating System, to identify the root cause and
take corrective action to resolve deficiencies identified during DT&E, OT&E
and sustainment.
• Ensure acceptance inspection requirements are identified for items to be
X U
accepted at source.
6. Parts and Materials Selection
• Guidance and/or requirements should be documented in a parts and materials X U U
design guide before the start of design, addressing parts selection, derating and
testability factors. Adherence to the guidelines should be verified at design
reviews.
• Identification of COTS/NDI reliability is required. X U U
• Parts and materials selected are qualified to the worst-case DRMP and detail X
design environments. Uprating or upscreening of parts is not a best practice and
should not be performed.
• Parts derating is required for all electronic/electrical components. Electrical
parameters of parts are characterized to requirements derived from the DRMP to
ensure that all selected parts are reliable for the proposed application.
