The trusted handbook–now in a new edition
This newly revised handbook presents a multifaceted view of
systems engineering from process and systems management
perspectives. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to the
subject and provides a brief overview of the thirty-four chapters
that follow. This introductory chapter is intended to serve as a
‘field guide’ that indicates why, when, and how to use the material
that follows in the handbook.
Topical coverage includes: systems engineering life cycles and
management; risk management; discovering system requirements;
configuration management; cost management; total quality
management; reliability, maintainability, and availability;
concurrent engineering; standards in systems engineering; system
architectures; systems design; systems integration; systematic
measurements; human supervisory control; managing organizational
and individual decision-making; systems reengineering; project
planning; human systems integration; information technology and
knowledge management; and more.
The handbook is written and edited for systems engineers in
industry and government, and to serve as a university reference
handbook in systems engineering and management courses. By focusing
on systems engineering processes and systems management, the
editors have produced a long-lasting handbook that will make a
difference in the design of systems of all types that are large in
scale and/or scope.
