This part of ISO 14300 addresses the space programme management requirements, applicable through a top-down approach in a contractual relationship between customers and suppliers. The applicable requirements for product assurance are given in ISO 14300-2.
This part of ISO 14300 is intended to be used as a basis when establishing and negotiating customer programme management requirements, and guiding the supplier’s responses.
It permits:
- a clear definition of the roles, responsibilities and authorities of the different customers and suppliers;
- coherence between their activities;
- communication capability between them;
- stable and rigorous programme organization;
- and, as far as possible, standardization of the rules applicable to various programmes.
It still allows for supplier flexibility in its implementation and tailoring.
