Abstract
ABSTRACTThe publication of EIA/IS 731.1 Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM) establishes a standard against which an organization determines its level of process maturity for systems engineering. EIA/IS 731.2 SECM Appraisal Method provides guidance on the conduct of an appraisal using the SECM. The EIA/IS 731.2 method of derterming the process maturity level is based upon the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) CMM® (Capability Maturity Model) Based Assessment for Internal Process Improvement (CBA IPI) that has been the engineering process maturity appraisal method of choice since its first use in 1994. This paper presents an alternative method for appraising an orgnaization's engineering maturity level—the Continuous Appraisal Method (CAM). CAM provides a significant advantage over the CBA IPI in three areas. First the cost of using CAM is significantly lower than using CBA IPI. Second, CAM allows considerable felexability in scheduling program time during the appraisal. Third, CAM becomes an integral part an organization's process improvement initiative by providing timely feedback on process improvement opportunities.
