Chapter 3 – HFI Design Process3.2 HFI Design for Platforms and EquipmentsThe HFI activities described in the HFI Technical Areas (Chapters 4 through 17)apply to both platforms and equipments. HFI Technical Areas are based on thegeneral application of HFI design to technical issues for Sea Systems. Figure 3-2illustrates the relationship between the HFI design process and the specific HFIactivities for the platform or equipment. The HFI design process will itself interactwith the processes of other disciplines (see MAP-01-010, Chapter 4).The HFI design process is an integral part of the overall development of products.It is conducted in conjunction with the other disciplines that are used for SeaSystems. The platform and equipment HFI Technical Areas represent specificdesign areas. The application of HFI design to these areas leads to the activitiesdescribed in Chapters 4 through 17 of this guide.3.3 Quality Assurance of HFI DesignThe HFI Technical Area Chapters are presented in a standardised formcomprising three main sections, denoted as Sections 1, 2 and 3 within eachchapter:1. Section 1 – HFI Technical Issues.2. Section 2 – HFI Process.3. Section 3 – HFI Activities.Within the first section (HFI Technical Issues), the HFI Technical Area isintroduced and key HFI issues are identified and discussed.In the second section (HFI Process), HFI Activities are presented in tabular form.Each chapter contains a figure that indicates the relationship between individualHFI Activities, and the way in which they relate to the six CADMID phases.Standards that are relevant to the HFI Technical Area are then listed in tabularform. Finally, HFI Responsibilities are summarised in list form.The third section (HFI Activities) comprises a series of activity definition tables,listed against the appropriate CADMID phase; again presented in a standardisedform. Each table lists the following:• The purpose of the HFI Activity.• Typical input information required to carry out the activity.• A list of the appropriate HF methods that may be used (see Annex 3).• The individual steps that need to be carried out and, where appropriate,reference to other activities and stakeholders that are involved.• The outputs expected from the activity.Nov 2006 Page 3-9 Issue 4
