2.1.3 : Knowledge-Based Decision-Making _{(Added 7/2006)}    

FAA employs knowledge-based decision-making throughout the lifecycle management process. Specific knowledge, as defined by decision criteria, must be achieved for entry into AMS decision points. These criteria are defined as entrance criteria in the AMS policy section for each decision point. Investment programs that develop systems or software must capture additional design and manufacturing knowledge about their products as prescribed in Section 2.5.1, and base decisions on whether to proceed further in the lifecycle management process on that knowledge.
