System Design Review
Encyclopedia
A System Design Review is a scheduled review, of many government-contractor relations, which ensures continuous involvement throughout a program. The SDR is defined in the Air Force's MIL-STD-1521.
The SDR is a technical review conducted to evaluate the manner in which a project's system requirements have been allocated to configuration item
s, manufacturing
considerations, next phase planning, production
plans, and the engineering process that produced the allocation.
This review is conducted when the system definition is at a point where system characteristics and configuration items are defined. A successful SDR establishes a functional baseline.
The MIL-STD-1521 was cancelled in 1995 without replacement for the SDR material. Since that time, the DoD 5000 system has been created which uses technical reviews as described in Chapter 4 of the Defense Acquisition Guide

There is no identical replacement for the previous SDR, but the System Functional Review (SFR) is similar.

Manufacturing
Manufacturing is the use of machines, tools and labor to produce goods for use or sale. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale...
