PRODUCT INTEGRATION ENGINEERING (ML3)
The purpose of Product Integration (PI) is to assemble the product from the product components, ensure that the product, as integrated, behaves properly (i.e., possesses the required functionality and quality attributes), and deliver the product.
SG 1 Preparation for product integration is conducted.
SP 1.1 Establish and maintain a product integration strategy.
SP 1.2 Establish and maintain the environment needed to support the integration of the product components.
SP 1.3 Establish and maintain procedures and criteria for integration of the product components.
SG 2 The product component interfaces, both internal and external, are compatible.
SP 2.1 Review interface descriptions for coverage and completeness.
SP 2.2 Manage internal and external interface definitions, designs, and changes for products and product components.
SG 3 Verified product components are assembled and the integrated, verified and validated product is delivered.
SP 3.1 Confirm, prior to assembly, that each product component required to assemble the product has been properly identified, behaves according to its description, and that the product component interfaces comply with the interface descriptions.
SP 3.2 Assemble product components according to the product integration strategy and procedures.
SP 3.3 Evaluate assembled product components for interface compatibility.
SP 3.4 Package the assembled product or product component and deliver it to the customer.
