A FRAMEWORK FOR ACHIEVING LIFECYCLE VALUE IN AEROSPACE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Delivered at ICAS 2002 Congress.Creation of lifecycle value - a balance of performance with cost and other attributes - represents a challenge for the development of aerospace products in the twenty-first century. This paper examines the concept of lifecycle value that stems from existing approaches of value management and analysis, lifecycle costing, and systems engineering. To ascertain common characteristics of lifecycle value creation, case studies were done for four aircraft programs: F/A- 18E/F, JAS 39 Gripen, F-16C/D, and B-777. A lifecycle value creation framework is introduced, comprised of three phases: value identification, value proposition, value delivery. Based upon observed practices in the four case studies, six value creation attributes were identified. Capability maturity models for the six attributes and three value creation phases are presented. The resulting framework represents a starting point for programs seeking to create lifecycle value for aerospace products

Lean Effects on Aerospace Programs (LEAP) Project: F-16 Case Study Report

This report follows the F-16 journey of improvement over the last decade or so. Since an increase in focus on cost and quality in the early 1990s, there has been gradual but continuous progress along this journey. Most remarkable are some of the more recent changes, following the implementation of lean principles and practices across the program
