BS EN 9277:2015

What is BS EN 9277-Guide for the management of systems engineering about?  

BS EN 9277 is a European standard on aerospace series that delivers the guide for the management of systems engineering to satisfy the needs and fulfil the expected services, in a given environment. 

BS EN 9277 provides you with the appropriate guidelines for managing system engineering to influence the design when incurred costs are low and design changes are easy. 

Based on the following considerations: 

• A reminder of Systems Engineering and its scope of application 
• Positioning of SE management in Programme Management and about Systems Engineering technical activities 
• Identification of interfaces between SE management and the other disciplines linked to Programme Management 

The purpose of BS EN 9277 is: 

• To help the acquirer and the organization to establish management requirements for SE activities, 
• To help the supplier to construct the elements of the management plan (explain how to reply to the management requirements) 

BS EN 9277 applies to the various levels of the product tree for the products that can be considered as systems: 

• In the general case of a supplier which, with the help of one or more suppliers, develops a system on behalf of an acquirer 
• In the case of an integrated team (sharing of SE roles, responsibilities, and risks) 

BS EN 9277 constitutes a guide illustrating the requirements and responses for SE management. It can be used as a checklist that should be adapted or completed according to the specific context of each project. 

Note: ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2010 integrated team should include organisation discipline and functions which have a stake in the success of the work products. 

Who is BS EN 9277-Guide for the management of systems engineering for? 

BS EN 9277 on guide for the management of systems engineering is useful for: 

• Project managers 
• Risk assessment departments 
• Research and developers 
• Project monitoring authorities 

Why should you use BS EN 9277-Guide for the management of systems engineering?  

Systems Engineering (SE) cover a set of activities which, based on a perceived operational need and via an organized approach, aims to describe this need in technical terms gradually transform it into a system solution at each stage, demonstrate that this system is compliant with the need 

BS EN 9277 positioning of systems engineering and SE management within a project, the need for systems engineering management, the relation between SE management and programme management, systems engineering process, the principle for defining requirements and elements of the management plan, and much more. 

The guidelines provided by BS EN 9277 assist in the identification of the technical activities to perform during the project to satisfy the needs of the system development and project constraints, guarantees consistency between all components of the solution to ensure system performance in conformity with the expressed need and to control the technical risks involved in the development.  

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 9277, you can enhance the efficacy of the product/equipment and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
