Abstract :
The 777 Airplane Information Management System (AIMS) was one of the largest avionics systems development programs ever undertaken by Boeing for a commercial airplane. The scope and complexity of AIMS provided many system engineering challenges in all program phases. Traditional strategies had to be reviewed and updated to meet new demands. The 777 Working Together initiative, which emphasized communication and involvement with both customers and suppliers, was a key concept used in structuring development activities.
