1. Introduction Flashcards
Pyramid of system hierarchy bottom to top
- components
- subsystems
- system
- system of systems
- enterprise
Advancement in technologies
+ provides opportunities for increasing system capabilities
- causes development risk which requires engineering management
Competition
different forms of competition require seeking superior and more advanced systems.
Specialisation
requires breaking the system into components corresponding to specific product types that can be designed and built by specialists
What is systems engineering?
encompasses both engineering and management
What is systems engineering based upon?
the principles of systems thinking:
- hierarchy
- viability
- completeness
- emergency
Systems engineering requires…
synergy with process element
5 steps to systems engineering PROBLEM SOLVING
- UNDERSTAND the problem context
- IDENTIFY and understand the problem
- GENERATE potential solution options
- IMPLEMENT the chosen solution
- REVIEW the success
STRUCTURE of systems engineering
- SE management
- requirements and architecture definition
- DEVELOPMENT
- system INTEGRATION and VERIFICATION
