RASSP Methodology and Process Models

• Capture a formal representation of RASSP process in a standard language (IDEF) process usable with minimal customization for broad range of electronics applications

BENEFITS

• Enhancements to current technology includes features for concurrent engineering (CE), multiple design alternatives, etc.
• Detailed processes include "best practice" approach
• Implementation in DMM workflow tool further enhances utility in applications and reuse across projects
• Greatly enhances automation of complex process steps
• Captures organizational knowledge and facilitiates continuous process improvement

• RASSP methodology captured as processes and modeled
• Process models expressed using IDEF tools
  • Developed extensions to IDEF 3(x)
• Process models implemented as hierarchical workflows in Intergraph tools
• Hierarchial workflows developed for systems, architecture selection and verification and detailed design
• Solutions developed for special workflow cases including Concurrent Engineering, Pipelining of Design Data, Design Alteratives, and Process Iteration
• Developed utility workflows for Reuse Element Generation and Design review

• CFI workflow interoperability forum
• Intergraph Design Methodology Manager and Product Data Management efforts (WBS 1.3.1.2 and 1.3.2.3)
• Affordable Multi-Mission Missile Manufacturing program capturing and moduling manufacturing workflows

• Methodology document Volume 2 devliered (V2-4Q95)
• Intergraph and Lockheed Martin ATL offering RASSP worklfows and customization as part of Enterprise framework commercialization
• Paper: "Work Modeling for Implementing Complex, CAD-Based, Design Methodology" (July 1995) RASSP Second Annual Conference
