• Ensure Material & Processes Selection List and Standard Selection List in the Manufacturing Dossier all fit in the AIT execution works allocated in the project.

• Define the Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) and make material requirements available to the Supply Chain.

• Technically support project AIT manager & Production staff during shopfloor execution of breadboards, Qualification and Flight Models. This may include on-site assistance to customer sites or spaceports during launch campaigns or supplier facilities for environmental, RF or mechanical test campaigns.

• Build process definition for AIT activities in the project, this includes:

  • Defining the as planned structure in concurrence with Engineering & Mechanical Design Office.

  • Characterize the AIT work sequence and key industrial parameters iaw Airbus OES guidelines (i.e process flow, process time, lead time, critical path, skills mapping, white spaces, …)

  • Identify the need and specify requirements for industrial asset (Jigs, Tools, Tooling, Machines, …).

  • Integrate the Quality inputs relevant to the AIT activities (Control Plan) to ensure conformity of the product

  • Consider inputs from PFMEA and Health & Safety general regulation as well as local counsel H&S advise.

  • Schedule and delivery rates constrains.
