Description
Systems Engineering--an interdisciplinary, multi-stage-driven approach to the design and implementation of any large-scale or complex
engineered product or service--has found its way from aerospace into general manufacturing as well as the services industry. It has
been found to be particularly useful in such applications as software engineering, the bio- and medical industries, and large, multi-component
projects like those found in energy-generation. Following on the author’s previous book System Requirements Analysis, this new book
will lay out the steps and procedures needed to implement a quality check of the system being proposed or designed…the “Verification”
stage of a full systems engineering program.
Systems engineering usually begins with defining a product that will satisfy a customer
need and then rationally building a set of required components, personnel, and financial resources. The testing and evaluating of a proposed
design solution is known as Verification, and this will guide the systems engineer and his engineering and management team in setting
up the detailed protocols for a step-by-step quality control check of each stage of a proposed system design.
