Three Processes Key in Quality Drive for Mission Success



Boeing and NASA S&MA team visited Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Everett, WA

– Reviewed product assurance,

customer interaction, production, and product certification in the development lifecycle

– Shared best practices employed in the respective product assurance disciplines.

Observations gained from activity

– FAA performs key role in the airplane development lifecycle

– Significant customer role in requirements definition and the vehicle certification plan

– FAA buyoff milestones throughout the airplane production process.

– Commercial model for compliance employs significant partnering between the FAA, purchasing customer, and aircraft manufacturer
