Extract

Present aerospace development work is done in an environment which demands success. This has stimulated interest in methods of planning and controlling project development and costs more positively.

While some developers continue to hold the view that planning other than in the broadest terms is not compatible with high novelty development, the importance of new planning attitudes has been recognised. However, the very magnitude of a major aerospace project is such that the application of new planning and control procedures may in itself constitute a significant development programme, and it is not surprising that the industry has shown caution in introducing major changes of method.
