What is BS EN 9320 - Guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management about?
There is an increasing requirement for systems designed and produced by industry, particularly in the aeronautic, space, and defence fields, to be used with other systems designed, produced, acquired, and operated independently.
BS EN 9320 is a British standard that discusses general guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management. BS EN 9320 guidelines cover the open system acquisition and supply processes.
BS EN 9320 deals specifically with the concept of open systems. To this end, through the various processes applied, it provides information to stakeholders (buyers, suppliers, designers, subcontractors, supervisors, etc.) on the best practice to be adopted.
BS EN 9320 is largely based on the structure and system life cycle processes described in ISO/IEC 15288:2008.
The specific nature of openness for a system is defined by all the following properties interchangeability, interoperability, upgradability, reusability, reversibility, flexibility, and affordability.
Who is BS EN 9320 Guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management for?
BS EN 9320 on general guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management is useful for:
- Aerospace companies involved in the acquisition and supply of open systems
- Developers of open systems
Why should you use BS EN 9320 Guidelines for the acquisition and supply of open systems for programme management?
An open system is an assembly including software and hardware elements and operating procedures, designed by humans. These elements interact to satisfy the requirements (including interface requirements) defined, published, and maintained by consensus by a group.
Modular construction is created so that its modules are defined precisely and have public interfaces allowing independent suppliers to provide new capacities and innovative modules.
BS EN 9320 guides you regarding the execution, integration, verification, validation, qualification and maintenance process for efficiently acquisition and supply of open systems.
In compliance with BS EN 9320, you can efficiently acquire and supply open systems for efficient programme management.
