What is BS EN 9208 about?
BS EN 9208 discusses standards for aerospace programme management. BS EN 9208 specifies aims are as follows:
- To specify/remind the concept of (Need) Technical Specification (N)TS
- To define the principles and conditions for drawing up, approving, using, and updating a (N)TS
- To propose a template of (N)TS
BS EN 9208 implements and adapts the specific needs of the aeronautical field and more generally the needs of other fields.
BS EN 9208 is more explicit about responsibility for drawing up a (N)TS on a contractual basis and the process of drawing it up within a program (stages and milestones).
BS EN 9208 also supplements the technical specification framework with requirements relating to the safety of operation and result assurance.
Who is BS EN 9208 for?
BS EN 9208 on aerospace programme management is applicable to:
- Aerospace project utilizing sectors
- Aerospace production and operations managers
- Aerospace process design leaders
- Procurement and logistics specialists
- Aerospace projects managers
- Spacecraft and space products manufacturing industries
- Aerospace and defense industries
- Aerospace transport companies
Why should you use BS EN 9208?
For a given aerospace project, the present document is intended to be used as a reference to current best practices. These can be used as a guideline for the creation and negotiation of the project management specification between a customer and a supplier, and hence lead to the creation of the project management plan. BS EN 9208 provide you guidance on technical specification and format for technical specification related to the safety and quality assurance of product operation.
BS EN 9208 is useful for any project utilising several actors at different levels. In particular, in the case of large projects it presents provisions recommended for the management of a project according to:
- Project organization
- Work breakdown structure
- Phasing and scheduling
- Risk management
- Configuration management
- Documentation management
- Interfaces with other disciplines
- Project monitoring and control
- Resource management
- Quality assurance
- Project closure.
BS EN 9208 also guide you about position in programme phasing and scheduling.
