Criteria for Evaluating the Processes of Designing Onboard Radio-Electronic Equipment of Space Vehicles

Abstract

The authors of the article conducted an analysis of approaches, methods, and criteria for evaluating the design processes of onboard radio-electronic equipment. In particular, the key criteria influencing the enhancement of efficiency in designing onboard radio-electronic equipment processes were examined, along with ways to improve them when addressing business process reengineering tasks in design organizations. Based on the analysis conducted and the authors experience in the field of engineering business processes for designing onboard radio-electronic equipment for spacecraft, fourteen groups of quality assessment criteria for business processes were developed. The developed criteria were tested in evaluating the performance of reengineering business processes in the instrumentation department of the Information Satellite Systems named after M. F. Reshetnev Joint-Stock Company. However, due to the vast amount of material obtained during the research and design work conducted, the authors of the article have provided only examples of the development and coordination of the technical specification for the design of onboard radio-electronic equipment for spacecraft as indicative results. The results of the testing showed the effectiveness of the developed criteria for evaluating the design processes of onboard radio-electronic equipment for spacecraft, substantiating the potential for innovation implementation.
