What Is Systems
Engineering?
Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach
and means to enable the realization of successful systems. It focuses on
defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development
cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with
design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem:
- Operations
- Performance
- Test
- Manufacturing
- Cost & Schedule
- Training & Support
- Disposal
Systems Engineering integrates all the
disciplines and specialty groups into a team effort forming a structured
development process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Systems Engineering considers both the business and
the technical needs of all customers with the goal of providing a quality
product that meets the user needs.
