Title: Systems engineering and analysis. Third edition

Abstract

The topics presented in this book have been organized into 6 parts and 19 chapters. Part 1 presents an introduction to systems and systems engineering in the context of system science and good engineering practice. Part 2 addresses the system design process as a series of evolutionary steps, progressing from the identification of a need through conceptual design, preliminary design, detail design and development, and test and evaluation. Part 3 derives some of the most useful mathematical models and tools for systems analysis. Emphasis is placed upon the application of modeling and analysis techniques as an integral part of the systems engineering process. Part 4 addresses design for operational feasibility by discussing those characteristics of design found to be most significant for successful system operation and customer satisfaction. Separate chapters are devoted to reliability, maintainability, usability (human factors), supportability (serviceability), producibility, disposability, and affordability (life-cycle cost). Part 5 presents an overview of systems engineering management, with planning and organization discussed in one chapter and program management and control in another. Part 6 contains a set of comprehensive appendices providing supporting topics, checklists, tables, references, and related resource materials.
