This paper describes the challenges faced by aerospace avionic systems developers in the 1990s, as they use 'in anger' both best-practice processes and state-of-the-art tools to try and achieve that most elusive goal in a large system development: Re-useable designs, meeting all customer needs, on-time, and within budget. The Boeing 777 electrical load management system (ELMS) developed by Smiths Industries Civil Systems, Cheltenham, has involved up to 250 engineers since 1991. It is an example of military technology being applied in the civil sector, and integrates over 50 aircraft utility systems as well as managing the supply of electrical power. The author has been Engineering Manager for this system since its inception, and takes this project as an example of large system development. He shares the advantages of those process approaches and types of tool which worked, and the disadvantages of those approaches which were less successful.
