Abstract
This thesis examines the human and technological issues that are often encountered during the application-driven system design and recommends a synthesized life cycle approach to data base design. The aerospace industry is emphasized due to the highly competitive and regulatory operating environment. Special attention is given to the strategic business planning and end-user involvement in the requirements definition phase of system development. The research consists of reviewing of current literature concerning tools, techniques, and available Information Engineering (IE) methodologies that are the basis for managing data as a resource. The benefits offered by these methodologies along with the experience gained through my involvement with the implementation of a data-driven methodology within an aerospace corporation has enabled the author to develop a data base design approach called Computer Integrated Business Life Cycle methodology. The proposed approach may be applied within any manufacturing environment. However, the thesis is directed primarily toward aerospace corporations who are, or will be, involved in the transition to an integrated computer aided business environment.
