The DAU has substituted the term Systems Engineering Plan for the previous Systems Engineering Management Plan.
The SEP is a high level, project specific document that outlines the technical activities required to fulfill acquisition objectives. Program and Engineering Managers use the SEP to:
- Assure that all technical activities are identified and managed
- Communicate the technical approach to all concerned
- Document decisions and technical implementation.
- Establish criteria to track how well the system development effort is meeting customer and management need
- Ensure technical activities are linked to and supportive of top-level programmatic ones as specified in the IMP and the IMS.
- addresses the scope of the technical effort required to develop the system
The SEP is evidence that systems engineering has been performed up front in a project and documents the various alternatives and rationale encountered.
The purpose is to consistently provide balanced solutions of scope, cost, quality, and schedule
-with a multi-disciplined approach (considers customer needs, integration, feasibility, and business case)
-over the lifecycle (with trade-offs, ECRs, decision analysis, and integration coordination)
As I ramp up in the defense acquisition industry, I am enjoying the immersion among the great community of military personnel. And so I wish you fair winds and following seas!
I have a reference copy for you of the IEEE 1220 (2005) Systems Engineering Processes standard, if you contact me.
