Improve aircraft design: Preparation
Organization. A team of designers is tasked to design an extended version of an aircraft. The team consists of senior designers and junior designers. When confronted with design issues, junior designers tend to slow down if no senior designers look over their shoulders or spar with them.
Environmental factors. Competition with other aircraft manufacturers.
Challenge. Less access to the capabilities of senior designers results in more time necessary to resolve a design issue.
Goal. Increase performance.
Objective. Increase access to capabilities to design an extended version of an aircraft faster.
Benefits.
- More adaptation.
- Shorter time to market.
Worthwhile.
