Competence with Methods
Even the best specialised competence
can only have be effective if it
is put into practice using competent
methods. Mathematical processes also
play a meaningful role in the area of
method competence.
A representative example from Satellite
technology: Service redesign after
the launch of a satellite into space
is generally impossible. Therefore,
all eventualities must be taken into
consideration – nothing should be left
out!
Our long term activity in the Satellite
Test Centre at the European Space
Agency (ESA) has therefore equipped
us with the best expertise for special
knowledge in the linking of design,
engineering, production and quality
assurance, in accordance with the
highest European regulations.
AGE is specialist for the Engineering
Process “PSS05”, used by the ESA,
and its successor, “ECSS”. No one
else had ever before implemented
the software-based specialised
process at the ESA. We have adapted
the process for related areas such
as electronics, electromechanics,
mathematics and control technology,
and have also successfully applied
it in these areas. In this framework,
FMEA/FMECA (Failure Modes Effects
Critical Analysis) were carried out,
and successfully for the first time
in the software area. A pioneering
performance.
By applying this methodology to its
suppliers, AGE provides the customer
with a closed, transparent and especially
tried and tested system.
