19. A system is a construct or collection of DIFFERENT ELEMENTS that TOGETHER produce results NOT OBTAINABLE by the ELEMENTS ALONE. The elements, or parts, can include PEOPLE, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, FACILITIES, POLICIES, and DOCUMENTS The RESULTS include SYSTEM Level qualities, Properties, Characteristics, Functions, Behavior and PERFORMANCE. The VALUE ADDED by the system as a whole, beyond that contributed independently by the parts, is primarily CREATED by the RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE PARTS; that is, how they are interconnected What IS a System? Courtesy of the International Council on Systems Engineering

20. WHY Systems Engineering? • Modern Heavily-Engineered Products are Highly INTERDISCIPLINARY • UNDERSTANDING and DESIGN of Complex-Component INTERACTION is AS IMPORTANT as the Components themselves • SOMEONE has to have a View of the Product From the CUSTOMER/USER Perspective

21. SysEngr Characteristics • A TRUE Technical Position • NOT a “Program MANAGER” • Some Synonyms • Project Engineer • System Architect (my Favorite) • Product Engineer • The Primary TECHNICAL Contact for • Customers • Company Upper-Management

22. System Performance Design Rules • USERS of Heavily Engineered systems generally do not specify the detailed performance requirements for the Hardware & Software that comprise the system. Instead the CUSTOMER (often another Engineer) specifies PERFORMANCE criteria such as ThruPut, OutPut Quality, DownTime, etc. • System Engineers translate the CUSTOMER PERFORMANCE Requirements into internal HW/SW Design SPECIFICATIONS.

23. Systems Engineering Owns • System Architecture • Overall Function of the System at a Conceptual Level • Customer Interface Documents • Facility/Installation Diagram(s) • Facility/Host  Communication interface • The System Specification that defines • System & Subsystem Performance • Life Cycle Analysis if Needed

24. Systems Engineering Owns cont.-1 • The System Specification that defines System & Subsystem Compliance to industry standards and regulations • System Operation (a.k.a. Theory of Operation) • Subsystem Interconnects (System integration) • The Project Schedule (How Long?) • The Project Budget (How Much?)

25. Systems Engineering Owns cont.-2 • The Project Implementation Team (Who?) • Elements from: Mechanical/Electrical Design, Process, Software, Manuf., etc. • Setting Project Priorities (What Next?) • Technical Communication to the “Outside World” (Product Education) • Internal Sales & Marketing • Operations (Manuf, Training, Service) • Customers Directly When Needed

26. SysEngr owns the Product Spec

27. SysEngr – Technical Side • The INCOSE “SIMILAR” Model • State the problem • Investigate alternatives • Model the system • Integrate • Launch the system, • Assess performance • Re-evaluate
