Life Cycle Management Working Group
Charter
The Charter of the Life Cycle Management Working Group (LCMWG) is to expand the body of knowledge of Systems Engineering (SE) as it is and should be applied to acquisition and system life cycles. Specifically, the LCMWG is formed to:
  • Promote the use of SE principles, techniques, processes, and tools in the wide range of activities related to life cycle management.
  • Share SE best practices as they relate to life cycle management .
  • Link SE organizations across international boundaries to improve life cycle processes and the management of the life cycle.
  • Encourage research into the application of SE throughout a life cycle.
 
Leadership
Chair: Jan de Liefde, Nspyre
Co-Chairs Technology: Katri Hakol, Jeppesena
Raffaele Fiengo, National Instruments
Co-Chairs Process: Barry Plant, BAE Systems
Duane McCollum, Boeing
 

Contact Life Cycle Management Working Group for additional information or to join this group.

Areas of Interest:

  • Define the term "life cycle" as it applies to the overall system, and to subordinate life cycles (e.g. technology, safety, regulatory, acquisition)
  • Develop life cycle frameworks for system components and processes such as technology, contracting, safety, environmental, and others.
  • Research life cycle management concepts, processes, and practices to improve system satisfaction of stakeholder needs

Potential LCMWG Technical Projects

The Life Cycle Management Working Group will include Technical Projects focusing on specific life cycle management issues, addressing both the application of systems engineering in each component life cycle (i.e., technology, regulatory, safety, and environment) as well as on how these subordinate life cycles integrate with the overall product life cycle. These Technical Projects may include, but are not limited to:

  • Acquisition Life Cycle Management
  • Technology Life Cycle Management
  • Regulatory (legal) Life Cycle Management
  • Process adaptation across life cycle stages
  • Knowledge management over a life cycle
  • Life cycle key decisions (are they all at the end points of stages?)

Current Projects TBD
