Systems Engineering
Description
- What are the “Big 5” Systems Engineering Principles that every project should use?
- Why are there two types of functional hazard assessments?
- When are operational, functional and physical views required?
- How does a System Boundary Diagram focus functional disciplines?
- How do you calculate and communicate the probability of meeting customer key parameters?
Systems engineering is the evolving discipline that addressed the management of increasing complexity in military, industrial, commercial and civil systems. Over the past few decades, especially since the massive applications available from digital computers and software, the complexity of systems for a great variety of applications has threatened to overwhelm previous management processes. Come learn to manage this complexity in a pursuit to eliminate developmental failures, cost overruns, schedule slippage, customer dissatisfaction and environmental disasters.
