Seat/IFE Integration
Team: Design Development Integration Process Between Seats
and IFE/Electronics Equipment
Problem: The current process doesn’t deliver an integrated seat
system solution that airlines consider elegant, good quality, timely,
maintainable, and reasonably priced.
Resolution:
•Develop a “best practices” process document (WAEA TC to coordinate)
•Recommend that Seat Suppliers get involved with creation of standards through
ARINC 628 Part 2 and 5

February 17 - 18th WAEA Workshop
Seat/IFE Integration
Implementation Plan:
Within two months, hold two day WAEA Sponsored forum to:
1). Develop “top 10” issues resolutions list for Seat/IFE process
integration (What can be fixed immediately?)
2). Document and publish “Top 10 Integration Process Issues
Resolutions” through WAEA (Publish within one month of mtg)
3). Develop long term plan for “Best Practices” process
benchmarking other complex system integration models

Seat/IFE Integration
Implementation Plan:
Process integration to consider improvement activities for key milestones of
the Seat System (Seat and IFE/Electronic Equipment) such as:
Today
ITCM
PDR
FSC
BOM
Dynamic Test
Plan
Dynamic
Testing
FAI
Improvement activities to define:

Seat/IFE Integration
Action Plan (Next Steps):
Team Focals:
Lutz Lotter- OEM; Ron Hurley - IFE Supplier
Ron Wong - Airline; Phillipe Bisoffi - Seat Supplier
1). Document initial plan and background information and email to team
(Kim Pastega)
2). Develop email list for subcommittee and include communication team
(Ron Wong)
3). Coordinate with WAEA and set up 2 day meeting and agenda
(Lutz Lotter, Peter Hurley, Kevin Woodward)

Seat/IFE Integration
Background Information:
I’m here today to:
•Better package and drive efficiency into seat/IFE/Electronic system 
•Define interface for Seat/IFE/Electronic system
•Understand how IFE/Electronics fit into seat development - coordination of
development programs 
•Determine how to achieve Seat System (Integrated IFE/Electronic design
elegance)
•Seat manufacturer needs more detail in ARINC 628 to accommodate in seat
design
•Determine how far systems can be integrated (e.g. single power supply)
•Determine how to define airline requirements in early stage in order to
integrate into design

February 17 - 18th WAEA Workshop
Seat/IFE Integration
Background Information:
I’m here today to: (Part 2):
•Define process for predictable Seat/IFE/Electronic integration (predictable
outcome) 
•Ensure reliability
•Anticipate future needs of IFE components
•Understand what airlines, OEM’s, and seat vendors desire in future systems
and raise awareness of current systems
•Explore expansion of high speed digital data systems - how to integrate
•Address problems of over population under seat - get out of seat
•Reach optimum design
•Come up with process for airline to define what they want

February 17 - 18th WAEA Workshop
Seat/IFE Integration
Background Information:
I’m here today to: (Part 3):
•Go away from different systems to one seat system
•Define who is responsible for integration itself
•Better manage integration of system - seat/IFE/Electronic
•How do we get all airlines to know how to spec system?

Seat/IFE Integration
Background Brainstorm Information:
Design Elegance:
1). Process to better define airline requirements up front:
- Components
- “Elegance”/Passenger Appeal
- Weight
.
.
2). Design Development/Functionality - integrate throughout

Compliance
Review
Issues:
1). Commitments are first understood/validated at ITCM
2). Schedules/plans may be impacted
3). System first Comes together at FAI
4). No one has overall system integration responsibility for vendors

February 17 - 18th WAEA Workshop
Seat/IFE Integration
Background Brainstorm Information:
Resolutions:
1). Need clearer requirement definition early
2). Look outside airline industry for integration techniques
3). Clearly define responsibility for system integrator (and all roles/
responsibilities
4). Electronic component industry needs to reduce overall envelope
5). Enhance relationships between IFE/Electronics/Seating industries
6). Best practices- Definition, ITCM, PDR, CDR, FAI
7). Integrate compatibility of development schedules
