Qualify Requirements
Description of process
The basis of the qualifying process is the engineering requirements.This
process is very much a manual process, i.e., the process is not entirely supported
by IFS Cloud. Qualifying the requirements consists of throwing away or
postponing a set of the requirements. The remaining requirements can be registered
as Change Requests (CRs).
The process should consist of the following steps:
- Evaluate all requirements (manual).
- Register the requirements to fulfill.
- The requirements to process at a later time are postponed (manual).
- The requirements to delete are rejected (manual).
- For each CR generated, an approval routing will be established, i.e.,
establishing the persons who must approve the CR before anybody can go further
with it and connect it to a Change Order (CO).
- If the CR results in new product functions, the Functional Description
document must be extended.
- In the end, a preliminary change study is performed for each CR. The
purpose is to reveal the consequences of performing the CRs.
