Data Item Description (DID) System Engineering Management Plan (SEMP)

This DID contains the format and content preparation instructions for the data product generated by the specific and discrete task requirement as delineated in the contract. The SEMP format shall be contractor selected. The SEMP shall describe the contractor's system engineering process as it is proposed to be applied to the definition of system design and test requirements during the contractural effort. It shall include the system engineering required to define system performance parameters and preferred system performance parameters and preferred system configuration to satisfy the contractural requirements; the planning and controls of the technical program tasks; and management of a totally integrated effort of design engineering, test engineering, logistics engineering and production engineering to meet cost, technical performance, and schedule objectives. The SEMP will be used to understand and evaluated the contractor's engineering work efforts as part of the contract monitoring process.
