2、S - STANDARDIZATION d%k? - increase the awareness among specification writers, designers, manufacturers and users of company standards of the value and importance of being part of a joint multilateral approach to formalising, through standards, requirements for which the audience is generally known;
3、 - provide methodological support for the users of company standards when undertaking the rationalisation of various requirements. The alehiewement of this objective will be measured by: - the reduction in the total volume of standards documentation, with an increase in the use of public standards a

It is estimated that references to public
6、standards are few compared to references made to company standards (ratio of 1 to 1 O). Manufacturers have to deal with a substantial volume of company standards, with each company having its own independent standards documentation structure. This is a costly situation in terms of document and produ
7、ct management, and a source of confusion when faced with a multitude of requirements, often unjustified when the differences between the requirements are minor. 2.2 The future Using PUBLIC STANDARDS instead of company standards means: For the PRIME CONTMCTOR REDUCED COSTS 0 Increased quantities - wi

The definition of STANDARDISATION POLICY and permanent upkeep of a STANDARD REFERENCE SYSTEM (standards handbook) are favourable conditions for encouraging the use of public standards taking into account the various program constraints and exercising STANDARDS AWARENESS.

21、VE 5 From an individual initiative to a group approach GROUP APPROACH Standardisation, just like quality, is not the exclusive property of a group of specialists; it is everybodys business. Everyone has, in addition to a responsibility for the correct application of standards, the possibility of enc
22、ouraging the rationalisation of requirements. This deliberate approach may be shared between persons within an existing structure (company, inter- group, standards organization, etc.) or initiated by a person outside the standardisation process. In any case, the statement of need must be confirmed,
23、expectations assessed, studies organised, results identified, and this by a simple approach, summarised in the following analysis: A person (design, production, quality, purchasing, .) A group of people involved in the same operation or series of operations within: - a company or group of companies,
24、 - a business sector, - a joint project SUBMiT8 THE REQUEST if necessary along with a proposal, to the national body in charge of aerospace standardisation. This body can forward the request to the relevant international body for the subject (see contact points in the Appendix). The standardisation
25、body follows up on the request by defining the working structure and by organizing the studies. The applicant is informed of any results (including refusal) and is requested to take part in the studies. DEcmES to initiate preparation of a standard by rationalising the requirements of various interes
26、ted parties. This decision entails, de facto, the desire to apply the standard. AND OARDS the request for a standard study to the appropriate aerospace standardisation body given the subject and the expectations. The European (AECMA-STAN, CEN) or International (SO) level should be the first one appr
27、oached. Contact can be made through National bodies (see contact points in the Appendix). PROPOSE8 a draft drawn up in accordance with the rules of the standardisation body concerned, at least one qualified person to participate actively in the body study group.

29、rform regular reviews of the standard reference system and whenever new programs are launched, to take into account new and obsolete standards. - Review the requirements specified in the company standards in order to bring them into line (harmonise these), wherever possible, with more recent standar
30、ds. Should the revision of a company standard become necessary, the procedure described in the chart page 6 should be used. - State the requirements in terms of results. The statement of both means and results as requirements may be provisionally justified in certain circumstances, for example in th
31、e case of transfer of technology. The continued application however, of such a practice often leads to cost increase. - In the event of recourse to a company standard, this must refer to the public standard and state any particular requirements. Company standards must be drafted to the model for pub
32、lic standards. Avoid copying blocks of text from standards, or referring to a specific revision of the standard. This practice obviously calls for a degree of standards awareness in order to ensure that any changes to the standard referred to do not conflict with the intention of the designer. - Dev
33、elop a deliberate and proactive attitude extending to: - manufacturers who must make prime contractors aware of any observations they may have due to their unique position as a crossroads for differing requirements, - prime contractors who can assess opportunities for the rationalisation of specifie
34、d requirements, - end users who are in a position to determine optimal characteristics of procurability, storage and use of the products concerned.
