Abstract

Standards are the bottleneck of any aviation industrial action. Thus, meeting standards is not an option but an obligation throughout a given product life cycle. This thesis contributed to producing a SIPOC diagram of aviation standards and collecting pertaining information, beginning with international standards, and ending in national codes. Particularly, the requirements which are applicable to a production organization in the aviation industry. A detailed view of the rulemaking process in the aviation industry is provided. The implementation of the standards and the evaluation process are complicated and need considerable resources. Simultaneously, Extra costs and concerns may be imposed on the aviation industry due to improper requirements. Thus, the quality of standards should be comprehensively assessed to obtain a satisfactory final result. System engineering introduces requirement analysis to solve this problem. As a significant contribution, this thesis provides a model of requirement analysis based on the structured strategy. The criteria were defined practically. Diagram, process, sub-process, and techniques including RTM and WBS were either developed or deployed to investigate the conformance of requirements with the criteria. Applying this model, any sort of requirement is evaluated accurately. Plus, it shows a specific and root cause of the problems if the requirement is unacceptable. Furthermore, a novel way to measure system affordability is proposed through the application of DFMEA. Lastly, the model is applied on CFR-14 Part-21 Subpart-G (FAA production organization requirements) to show the need for systematic improvement of aviation standards’ requirements of production organization.
