A practical, step-by-step guide to total systems management
Systems Engineering Management, Fifth Edition is a practical guide to
the tools and methodologies used in the field. Using a "total systems
management" approach, this book covers everything from initial
establishment to system retirement, including design and development,
testing, production, operations, maintenance, and support. This new
edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest tools and best
practices, and includes rich discussion on computer-based modeling and
hardware and software systems integration. New case studies illustrate
real-world application on both large- and small-scale systems in a
variety of industries, and the companion website provides access to
bonus case studies and helpful review checklists. The provided
instructor's manual eases classroom integration, and updated
end-of-chapter questions help reinforce the material. The challenges
faced by system engineers are candidly addressed, with full guidance
toward the tools they use daily to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
System Engineering Management integrates industrial engineering, project
management, and leadership skills into a unique emerging field. This
book unifies these different skill sets into a single step-by-step
approach that produces a well-rounded systems engineering management
framework.
- Learn the total systems lifecycle with real-world applications
- Explore cutting edge design methods and technology
- Integrate software and hardware systems for total SEM
- Learn the critical IT principles that lead to robust systems
Successful systems engineering managers must be capable of leading teams
to produce systems that are robust, high-quality, supportable, cost
effective, and responsive. Skilled, knowledgeable professionals are in
demand across engineering fields, but also in industries as diverse as
healthcare and communications. Systems Engineering Management, Fifth
Edition provides practical, invaluable guidance for a nuanced field.
