摘要:

AbstractEach contract specialist, lawyer, engineer, systems engineer, manager, or anyone else involved inthe transition of vision into product, has his or her own definition of a requirement. With the rare exception, all are applicable and meaningful – but most are forgotten or ignored in the crunch to produce an effective requirements document under constrained schedule and funding environments. Yet, the need for effective requirements generation is probably the number one priority today in product development needs. Rather than approaching this problem from the theoretical or apriori standpoint, this paper examines the nature of a requirement through a process of identifying key characteristics and relationships from the viewpoint of the requirements manager/analyst and the requirements user (design team). It also discusses the importance of determining that requirements convey a need (as opposed to a directed solution), and ascertaining quality in terms of contextual adequac

摘要:

AbstractThe national body of the National Council on Systems Engineering (NCOSE) has chartered the Systems Engineering Process Working Group (SEP WG) to refine and describe systems engineering processes). The challenges and questions have been identified, goals and results needed have been defined, and a development approach selected. Active since April 1992, the SEP WG has made progress in resolving some key issues and preparing a description which is useful to the practicing systems engineer. This paper describes the background, action plan, approach and current status of the SEP WG.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper was prepared to document the current state of Systems Engineering practice in the Commercial Sector. The paper covers Commercial Sector acceptance / application of Systems Engineering and related National Council on Systems Engineering (NCOSE) activities to date. Underlying factors motivating recent changes to the role of Systems Engineering in the Commercial Sector are also identified and discussed.

摘要:

AbstractThis paper will present the goals, objectives, and near‐term working plan for the Tools Working Group, a subcommittee of the NCOSE Practices Group. Since the Working Group has only been reactivated in the last nine months, this paper will not be able to include the major results; the most productive period has been that since the January meeting in Melbourne, Florida. A separate paper will be available to NCOSE 1993 meeting attendees at the end of the plenary sessio

摘要:

AbstractThis paper goes beyond the systems engineering construct of MIL‐STD‐499B and suggests private and public enterprises would benefit from viewing systems engineering as a “system.” The suggested paradigm (model) synthesizes the author's original concepts, portions of MIL‐STD‐499B (Draft, May 1992) and proceedings of the 23–25 October 1992 NCOSE sponsored committee meeting on a systems engineering capability maturity model. The model's concentric design incorporates the system elements and system primary functions of MIL‐STD‐499B, but moves the “customer” bulls‐eye to an outer‐ring labeled “Business Environment,” and identifies people, process, and technology as the three key components of systems engineering. Each of the key components is decomposed to lower levels of detail.The paradigm presented is intended to have universal application and not be limited to defining, evaluating, and improving systems engineering efforts in defense system acquisition and technology programs. Lastly, it is hoped that the paper's content will stimulate others to take a more “systems

摘要:

AbstractThis paper is intended to challenge systems professionals to think about systems — not at the process level but at the foundational level: first principles. System principles at theconcept level, and what we understand about them, determine what we practice at theprocess level– that is, how we define “systems engineering.” When Kant, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, and the others were deriving The Natural Laws, where was the comparable basic work in the natural order of things: systems? Is our profession one of simply employing some fairly good empirical procedures? Is there a legitimate place for a “First Law of Systems” along side The First Law of Thermodynamics? Who would do this research? Who would fund it? Is now the time? Why sho

摘要:

AbstractLike pieces in an unfinished jigsaw puzzle, emerging concepts in the workplace can give us a glimpse of what systems engineering will look like in the future. This paper introduces a number of highly interconnected concepts that are emerging in the areas of process, technology, education, metrics, and paradigm shifts. To ensure continued growth in years ahead, it is essential that we use these new concepts as building blocks to architect a systems engineering vision highly suited to the workplace of tomorrow.
