Abstract

This paper gives a general overview of the inter-relations between the weights predicted by the weight engineers and the strategic parameters considered by the management in the conceptual and preliminary design phases. Due to the fact that towards the end of the preliminary design phase, at the latest when the contracts with the launching customers are to be signed, the strategic parameters must have been fixed and the final policy decisions should have been made. So, these weights and parameters discussed in this paper are only for phases up to go-ahead. Also, a general guideline of the process of the weight strategy decisions is described. Although it varies with different companies and for different projects, there are certain commonalities. this paper is based on the strategy discussions of some Airbus Industrie new projects.
