Integrated Design Teams for Increased Efficiency in Flight Projects

摘要

A highly Integrated Design Team (IDT) within a flight project evolves in its function and has the potential to provide many benefits through the project lifecycle. The benefits include superior systems-oriented design products, as well as overall improved project efficiency and higher-performing interpersonal relationships within the project. If physically integrated, this can manifest as an Integrated Design Center (IDC) centrally located within a project's physical office space. Here we discuss the process to establish and maintain a tightly integrated design team for highly streamlined engineering service to the project, including a cost/benefits analysis discussion.
