In 1995, Honeywell's Air Transport Systems division began using the INCOSE Systems Engineering Capability Assessment Model (SECAM) as a tool for facilitating Systems Engineering process improvement. The Key Focus Areas of the SECAM were used as a template for organizing the division's standard Systems Engineering process and Systems Engineering Capability Assessments were conducted to measure the completeness and effectiveness of this process. In 1998, the Electronic Industry Alliance released EIA/IS 731, the Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM). Honeywell made the decision to transition to this new standard and conducted a Systems Engineering Capability Assessment using EIA/IS 731. This paper describes the similarities and differences between the two models from the perspective of the user, as well as, the lessons learned in executing the transition.
