System Specification
This is the single most important engineering design document. Defines system functional baseline Feasibility analysis Operational requirements Top level functional analysis Identifies critical TPMs and DDPs
System Specification
System specification leads into one or more subordinate specifications: Development specification pertains to research, design & development Product specification pertains to inventory that can be procured off the shelf Process specification pertains to services that are performed on any component of the system Material specification pertains to raw material, mixtures or semi-fabricated materials that are used in the fabrication of a product
