“Greater traceability helps facilitate compliance, eliminate defects, and deliver quality products.”
—Claude Provençal, Program Manager SFM, CMC Electronics,
Business Challenge story
To develop its next-generation flight management systems, CMC sought a new object-oriented, model-based process that would help comply with the DO-178C and ARP 4754A/4761 aviation industry standards.
Transformation
CMC designed a new development process based on IBM continuous engineering solutions. To test it, CMC ran a pilot with two projects – one using the new approach, and the other using legacy tools.
Benefits
The new process provides greater traceability, automates reporting for DO-178C compliance, enables earlier testing to reduce defects, promotes reusability, increases productivity, and reduces costs.
