Rockwell Space Systems Division has been undergoing dramatic changes in the last three years to embrace the Integrated Product Team (IPT) development concept. The architecture of the design system operates is critical to our mission in becoming cheaper, faster, better. Our design architecture is evolving from one that is a byproduct of the design to one of driving good design. A key element in the design process is the interconnectivity of systems and design engineering. This paper discusses the changes that are occurring in people, processes and technologies which are evolving to produce cost effective, designed products by Rockwell Space Systems Division. A modification product design case study involving tool integration known as Enterprise Process and Data Management (EPDM) will be examined in more detail.
