Synopsis
This book provides systems engineers and analysts with the concepts, methodologies, models and tools needed to understand and implement the systems approach.* NEW - Updates coverage throughout to reflect the most current practices in the field. * NEW - Features new or expanded coverage of many topics, including...* Design for producibility, disposability, and affordability. * Quality Function Deployment (QFD). * Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA). * Fault-Tree Analysis (FTA). * Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM). * Operator Task Analysis (OTA). * Total productive maintenance. * Technical Performance Measures (TPMs). * Functional analysis and requirements allocation. * Design Dependent Parameters (DDPs). * Top-down, integrated, life-cycle perspective addresses overall product life-cycle. Evolves from identification of a consumer need to design and development, production/construction, distribution, system utilization and support, retirement and material recycling and/or disposal. * Emphasizes the systems engineering process with a step-by-step approach. * Covers the integration of a number of design disciplines essential to the implementation of systems engineering, such as: * Reliability. * Maintainability. * Human factors. * Supportability. * Producibility. * Disposability. * Affordability. * Emphasizes the application of theoretical constructs, providing examples, case studies, problems and exercises based on real-world industrial experience. * Includes analytical tools that aid students in converting theory to application and practitioners in solving on-the-job problems. * Integrates a wealth of case studies, over 300 figures, numerous tables, and over 430 end-of-chapter questions and exercises.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book concentrates on the engineering of human-made systems and on systems analysis. In the first case, emphasis is on the process of bringing systems into being, beginning with the identification of a need and extending through requirements determination, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation, operation and support, phase-out, and disposal. In the second case, focus is on the improvement of systems now in being. By employing the iterative process of analysis, evaluation, feedback, and modification, most systems in existence can be improved in their affordability, effectiveness, and stakeholder satisfaction.
The authors present and demonstrate the utilization of various analytical models and methods for accomplishing system analysis, not only in the design and evaluation of new systems, but in the evaluation of existing systems for the purpose of their improvement. Also emphasized is the need to properly integrate a variety of engineering design and management disciplines to effectively implement the concepts and principles of systems engineering.
