MIL-STD-1798C APPENDIX A
Functional Configuration Audit (FCA): The FCA is the is the formal examination of the "as- tested" functional characteristics of configuration items (CIs). The audit verifies that the item has achieved the requirements specified in its functional baseline documentation, and identifies and records any discrepancies. Functional configuration audits are conducted on both hardware and software configuration items to assure that the technical documentation accurately reflects the functional characteristics of each.
System Verification Review (SVR): The SVR is a multi-disciplined technical review to ensue the system under review can proceed into Low-rate Initial Production and Full-Rate Production
within cost (Program budget), schedule (Program schedule), risk, and other system constraints. Generally this review is an audit trail from the Critical Design Review. It assesses the system
final product, as evidenced in its production configuration, and determines if it meets the
functional requirements (derived from the Capability Development Document and draft Capability Production Document) documented in the Functional, Allocated, and Product Baselines. The SVR establishes and verifies final product performance. It provides inputs to the Capability Production Document. The SVR is often conducted concurrently with the Production Readiness Review. The SVR is conducted during the EMD Phase.
Physical Configuration Audit (PCA): The PCA is conducted around the time of the full-rate production decision. The PCA examines the actual configuration of an item being produced. It verifies that the related design documentation matches the item as specified in the contract. In addition to the standard practice of assuring product verification, the PCA confirms that the manufacturing processes, quality control system, measurement and test equipment, and training are adequately planned, tracked, and controlled. The PCA validates many of the supporting processes used by the contractor in the production of the item and verifies other elements of the item that may have been impacted/redesigned after completion of the System
Verification Review (SVR). A PCA is normally conducted when the government plans to control the detail design of the item it is acquiring via the Technical Data Package. The PCA is
conducted during the Production and Deployment Phase, prior to the Full Rate Production
Decision Review.
A.4 GUIDANCE
A.4.1 Key elements.
Key MECSIP elements are embedded in the core process sections of AFMCI 63-1201, which implements AFI 63-101. Specific guidance for the MECSIP tasks are included in table A-I. Table A-I provides guidance for the common Task I, Task II, Task III, Task IV, and Task V described in section 5 of this document. The guidance provided in this section is intended to assist Programs in the structure of the MECSIP. Completion of the described integrity activities provides a basis for the development of the MECSIP.
