With coverage that draws from diverse disciplines, Systems
Engineering Tools and Methods demonstrates how, using integrated or
concurrent engineering methods, you can empower development teams.
Copiously illustrated with figures, charts, and graphs, the book
offers methods, frameworks, techniques, and tools for designing,
implementing, and managing large-scale systems and includes case
studies that exhibit the effect of the systems engineering (SE)
concept and its importance during the design and development of a
complex system. These case studies provide realistic insights into
SE methods. Emphasizing the importance of an integrated approach to
the design life cycle of complex systems, the book stresses the
relationship between SE and project management. It reviews the
principles of functional analysis as design activities, discusses
verification, validation, and testing (VV& T) methodologies and
tools for complex systems, and presents a framework for assessing
technology integration at the systems level. It also delineates the
development of a business process reengineering plan based on one
used for the restructuring, retraining, and redeployment of
elements of the Kennedy Space Center workforce. The book includes
examples of the design and development of several large complex
systems from the DoD and NASA. Each system provides the backdrop
for SE learning principles such as technical decision making,
requirements definition, logistics support planning, verification,
and risk mitigation. Discussions of a proposed integrated
reliability management system for faster time-to-market electronics
equipment, a new integrative approach to the allocation of
adjustability, the importance of manufacturing with regard to
designing components of a system, and methods and algorithms used
in the solution of combinatorial optimization problems rounds out
the coverage. Waste, inadequate system performance, cost overruns,
and schedule problems often result from failure to apply advanced
systems engineering early in project development. By applying the
methods outlined here, you can anticipate and avoid these costly
roadblocks when possible, and quickly mitigate their damaging
effects when necessary.
