Step
3. Instrument Study Process and Product
A typical ISAL end-to-end instrument study is completed within
two weeks. Key members of the Customer Team participate in
the daily status meetings and the rapid design process to
facilitate the engineering trade evaluation and the real time
decision process.
Typical ISAL activities include: the generation and sub-allocation
of derived requirements, the identification and execution
of trade studies, the development of instrument architectures,
the selection of components, the structural/mechanical layout
and component replacement, the identification of risk areas
and future trades, and the documentation and presentation
of the study results.
The study is culminated with a briefing of the study results
to the Customer Team. Action items are identified and tracked
during this briefing. When possible, identified actions are
closed out with the delivery of the final product. The final
product is a body of information that includes the study objective(s),
the results, and the rationale and technical data behind the
concepts generated, the resulting associated risks and any
solid models that may have been developed during the study.
These results provide a valuable tool to support future Customer
engineering analysis.
