THE REVISED AND UPDATED CLASSIC GUIDE TO TOTAL SYSTEM ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT

The fifth edition of System Engineering Management offers a comprehensive guide to the most current best practices, tools, and methods used in the field today. Step-by-step, the authors cover a total "systems approach" commencing with the initial definition of requirements and through the entire life cycle of systems to include design and development, test and evaluation, production/construction, system operation and support, and ultimately retirement. Systems engineering requirements are applicable in all phases of the life cycle.

This revised edition of System Engineering Management includes:

• A comprehensive up-to-date discussion of systems from a total life-cycle perspective, the systems engineering process, and the planning and implementation of a systems engineering program
• An introduction to new concepts pertaining to agile engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), middle-out process tailoring, and supporting analytical methods/tools for application in systems engineering programs today
• Additional case studies to support up-to-date systems engineering principles and concepts—including decision modeling, trade-off analysis for hardware and software systems and the effect of organizational structure on product design
• Practical systems engineering program and design review checklists to aid in the effective and efficient implementation of overall program requirements
• Fresh end-of-chapters questions and problems that help to reinforce the material presented

System Engineering Management also includes a discussion of the everyday challenges faced by system engineers and offers a practical guide to the techniques that have proven to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
