Procedure Writing Aid
Abstract
This report describes a best practice for writing procedures for test operations of solid motors and liquid engines based on two decades worth of test experience. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Edwards AFB, California, recently completed an effort to create procedure writing guidance for test operations. This procedure writing guidance is designed as an aid for new employees and as a reference document for those with test experience. The guidance was created with input from 20 people who had a wide variety of test experience covering the entire range of tests of solid motors and liquid engines both at sea level and at higher altitudes. The group included representatives from the quality assurance and safety offices. This paper will concentrate on the procedure writing rules of thumb and procedure modification process established by the guidelines, as these ideas have universal applicability and are derived from lessons learned. The specific procedure boilerplate requirements and template will not be discussed.
