Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com MIL-STD-31000 3.1.6 Competent manufacturer. A manufacturer that has demonstrated the capability to produce similar products at the same state of the art in the same or similar lines of technology. 3.1.7 Computer software. Computer programs, source code, source code listings, object code listings, design details, algorithms, processes, flow charts, formulae and related material that would enable the software to be reproduced, recreated, or recompiled. Computer software does not include computer data bases or computer software documentation. (DFARS Clause 252.227- 7014) 3.1.8 Computer software documentation.
Owners manuals, user’s manuals, installation instructions, operating instructions, and other similar items, regardless of storage medium, that explain the capabilities of the computer software or provide instructions for using the software. (DFARS Clause 252.227-7014) ISO/IEC Standard 12207 uses the term “software life cycle data” to address software documentation. 3.1.9 Conceptual design data. Data such as drawings or 3-Dimensional (3D) models, which describe the engineering concepts on which a proposed technology or design approach is based. 3.1.10 Configuration Item (CI).
A product or an aggregation of products that accomplishes an end-use function and is deemed important enough to require separate configuration management documentation and control. 3.1.11 Cosmetic 3D model. A Computer Aided Design (CAD) 3D model sufficiently defined to provide a visual understanding of the item, but which does not contain full design disclosure. Generally key interface characteristics and features such as weight and center of gravity will be sufficiently defined for the intended purpose. Sometimes referred to as a shrinkwrap, visualization, or limited design disclosure 3D model. 3.1.12 Critical manufacturing process.
A process is critical if it is the only known method, which will result in the production of an acceptable item. 3.1.13 Design maturity. The extent to which the final design or configuration of an item has been defined by the engineering process. For example, the design of a sheet metal cover having all holes in its mounting hole pattern fully dimensioned and toleranced for final size, location and orientation would be considered to be more mature than the design of a similar cover having its mounting hole pattern defined as “Drill at assembly". 3.1.14 Detailed design data.
Technical data that describes the physical configuration and performance characteristics of an item or component in sufficient detail to ensure that an item or component produced in accordance with the technical data will be essentially identical to the original item or component. (DFARS, Part 227). 3.1.15 Detail specification. A specification that specifies design requirements, such as material to be used, how a requirement is to be achieved, or how an item is to be fabricated or constructed. A specification that contains both performance and detailed requirements is still considered a detail specification. (MIL-STD-961) 3.1.16 Developmental design data.
Data which describe the physical and functional characteristics of a specific design approach to the extent necessary to permit the analytical evaluation of the ability of the design approach to meet specified requirements and enable the development, manufacture and testing of prototype or experimental materiel. 5
