The subject of requirements has been emphasized to a great extent in Chapters 2 and 3. More specifically, the development of system operational requirements, the maintenance concept, and the identification and prioritization of technical performance measures (TPMs), described in Sections 2.4 through 2.6, constitute the steps involved in defining the requirements for the system. These requirements (which are also described in the various design-related sections in Chapter 3) are then allocated and apportioned downward to the various subsystems and below, and are included in the appropriate specifications (refer to Section 3.1). Through this allocation process, and resulting from decisions pertaining to outsourcing, the requirements for each of the different suppliers are then determined.
