A total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis.

This practical introduction to systems engineering and analysis provides the concepts, methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand and implement a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis.

The authors focus first on the process of bringing systems into being—beginning with the identification of a need and extending that need through:

• Requirements determination
• Functional analysis and allocation
• Design synthesis
• Evaluation and validation
• Operation and support
• Phase-out and disposal

Next, the authors discuss the improvement of systems currently in existence, showing that 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.
