2. Space And Airborne Systems (SAS) Engineering’s Vision
Presentation Title
February 25, 2019
Space And Airborne Systems (SAS) Engineering’s Vision
Integrate Common Processes Across The Organization
Leverage From Raytheon’s Common Processes
Integrated Product Development System (IPDS)
Integrates All Functions And Processes Into A Single Set Of Activities To Accomplish The Purposes Of A Program
Integrated Product Development Process (IPDP)
Imbedded In IPDS
Integrated Processes For Capturing And Managing Programs
Used By Programs For Product Development
Measure Process And Product Improvement To The CMMI Model
Make Process Improvements Using Raytheon 6 Sigma (R6S)
Implement Process Improvements Through The Enterprise Process Group (EPG)
CMMI typical work products were never intended to specify the direct work products that the SCAMPI now expects, so additional guidance is needed. TWPs are today incomplete, and a mixture of direct and indirect

In Summary
Utilizing The CMMI Model Has Significantly Improved Process And Product Development
Formed An Integrated/Enterprise Process Group Within SAS
Developed An Integrated Organization Standard Process That Allows Both Common And Discipline Specific Process And Product Development
A Means For Improving Process And Program Performance
Improves Consistency And Expected Results Throughout The Organization
Tailorable And Flexible To Meet Program Needs
Improved Communication Between And Within The Organization And Programs
Different approaches to PIIDs and preparing for appraisals are taken.
The approach depends on many factors, such as initial maturity, time line goal, and internal expertise
