Setting the Standard for Systems Management Across the Globe


The Systems Management Council (SMC) was created in 2016 as an interdisciplinary, cross-sector council responsible for developing, maintaining and evolving standards which cover processes used to manage the development, production, and sustainment of systems, including products and services.

The SMC provides strategic and operational electronic systems and technology leadership, policy, processes, standards, and expertise to support the collective interest and initiatives of SAE International member companies and government organizations.

Standard Practice for Manpower and Personnel

This Standard covers Manpower and Personnel (M&P) processes throughout planning, design, development, test, production, use, and disposal of a system. Depending on contract phase and/or complexity of the program, tailoring can be applied. The scope of this standard includes Prime and Sub-contractor M&P activities; it does not include Government M&P activities.
