Systems Approach to Engineering Design

Until now systems engineering methods have been the exclusive domain of large organizations employing hundreds of engineers to develop and deliver complex, tightly integrated systems designs. This book offers you a thorough and practical introduction to using systems engineering for managing your systems design projects. It empowers you with proven techniques that help you lead a small design team to world-class performance levels. The book incorporates systems thinking and systems engineering techniques into every stage of design from concept inception, testing and quality assurance, to implementation, delivery and upgrading. What’s more, the book features many real-world examples that clearly illustrate individual techniques showing how they are used together to effectively manage a small design team and to engineer designs with minimal resources.
