Reverse Engineering PCB Management Plan

Reverse Engineering PCB Management Plan

Reverse engineering PCB management plan objective

A reverse engineering PCB management plan should be completed for each candidate to ensure a logical sequence of events in order to prevent delays or misinterpretations in the overall program objectives.

Management plan development

A reverse engineering PCB management plan may be developed at the beginning of the process. This plan may not be complete, however, until hardware and data are reviewed. This management plan may include in-process reviews and possible economical cut-off points. A tasking plan should be developed upon completion of the disassembly process, when a better knowledge of the parts has been obtained,

Tasking plan

The tasking plan should define the tasks necessary to complete the TDP, as well as the management control and monitoring procedures necessary to ensure the objectives are achieved in a timely manner. The tasking plan may include the:

a. Specific tasks to be accomplished,

b. Order in which the tasks must be performed,

c. Resources (personnel, materials, and costs) required to complete
each task, and

d. Start and completion times for each task.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) Chart

A PERT chart is useful for monitoring the activities and events that must be completed in a specified sequence to achieve the objectives, and to identify those activities which can be accomplished concurrently.
