The GAte system as the basis for the standardization of the procedure for creating aerospace engineering

Abstract

The introduction into practice of modern approaches to managing the life cycle of high-tech aerospace engineering products is accompanied by a wide range of managerial innovations in various areas of management. First of all, project management, which is currently showing a number of new trends, should be noted. Differentiation and detailing of phases and stages ofthe life cycle is manifested in the complication ofthe management structure of a high-tech program. Moreover, due to the diversity ofthe nature ofthe products being created within the framework ofexisting standards, it is necessary to ensure a certain flexibility in management decisions. So in foreign practice, despite the fact that the common decision-making points and control points of science-intensive programs are standardized, the authority approving them is to some extent free to develop effective and efficient program structuring. This includes eliminating, if necessary, individual phases and combining or eliminating stages and decision points, unless the regulatory framework provides otherwise. Each base model adapts to the dominant characteristics ofthe purchased product. It is possible to create hybrid models of program management that take into account the diverse nature of development. One ofthe systemic issues is the introduction ofthe concept of milestones: key events in the life cycle (LC) of a program whose function is to verify the process and the result of work in its phases, fulfillment of goals and decision-making on further actions. The transition from the completely completed previous phase to the next is carried out sequentially - through the passage of an intermediate milestone, playing the role ofakind of "gate".
