| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: The Organizational Unit under appraisal is all located in Cascina Costa)
Customer (Not Relevant: No matter of different aeronautical rules for military or civil customers; internal rules and standards deal with a “dual” approach, referring to civil standards.)
Size (Not Relevant: team size depends on type of work and then is not an independent factor)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: All development groups are organized in the same way)
Type of Work: Avionics engineering is ruled differently from software engineering ; Automatic Flight Control Systems (Autopilots) is a separated discipline |
| Sampling Factor Values: |
Avionics (Type of Work): Avionics Design & Integration takes care of the definition of the avionics equipments and integration into a consistent cockpit suite; Test Rig as ground V&V facilities are developed as part of the avionics development
Software (Type of Work): Software Development takes care of producing software for mission and basic avionics computers with exclusion of FCS software
AFCS (Type of Work): Automatic Flight Control Systems (AFCS) Development is development of software-intensive subsystems |
