5.1.2 An Approach to Developing R&D Standard Processes

With the increase of complexity of man-made systems and software and the enlargement of the expected quality level for R&D outcomes in today's R&D environment, it has become increasingly necessary to effectively define the R&D standard processes tailored for our organization and projects. To meet these needs, we defined the R&D standard processes based on the international standards for systems and software engineering and on our traditional work methods and applied them to our ongoing projects. We will improve our defined R&D standard processes continuously by monitoring our processes and products and checking feedback from application results. In this paper, we introduce the R&D standard processes developed by our organization, the E Research Institute in Korea, and define the requirements and approaches used for their development. We compare our defined R&D standard processes with ISO/IEC 15288 which is the international standards for systems engineering.
