Overview

Cost and schedule management is defined as a collective system of organized processes and actions in support of project management. It allows optimal use to be made of human resources, facilities, materials and funds, thereby achieving a successful completion of the space project with respect to the following: cost targets, timely completion, and technical performance. To this end, costs and activities are planned and actively controlled, with special care being given to the identification of critical situations that can lead to an adverse impact on the project cost and schedule, so that the relevant recovery actions can be proposed. The requirements specified herein apply to, and affect the customer and supplier at all levels. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constraints of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00. This document (EN 16601-60:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 "Space", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This document (EN 16601-60:2014) originates from ECSS-M-ST-60C. This document supersedes EN 13290-7:2001. This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (for example: aerospace).
