Systems engineering requires a very broad knowledge base. This can be found in this category.
What is the difference between efficiency and effectiveness? Someone who is efficient has a high degree of effectiveness, i.e. achieves a lot per unit of time. Someone who is effective comes closer to the result. But what does this have to do with systems engineering? Quite simply: the complexity of systems engineering means that you can quickly become efficient without being effective....
Systems engineering often involves modeling. And that means that the stakeholders have to learn the modeling language. This often involves training. But it can be a big mistake to give all stakeholders the same training. Why? Because reading and writing models are drastically different. Modeling is hard... Modeling is hard. First of all, the...
Atul Gawande (pictured) is an American surgeon who posed the following question: To provide the best healthcare, do we need the most expensive experts, drugs, procedures, equipment, and so on? Using systems thinking, he came to the answer: No! Because the most expensive individual parts do not guarantee that the result is the best. What if we had a car...
At ReConf 2016, Siegmar Haasis, then CIO at Daimler, reported on how the Group envisions MBSE.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), my alma mater, will be offering an online course on systems engineering this summer. MIT is collaborating with Boeing and NASA for this course. I find this exciting because systems engineering education is a much-discussed topic at the moment. A good online course makes it possible to...
Is a good systems engineer a specialist or a generalist? There is no single answer to this question. Because both are actually necessary.
The ICONIX process is a lightweight, agile approach to model-based software development. Many people who come into contact with modeling for the first time are overwhelmed and often intimidated by the power of the chosen modeling language, often UML or SysML. Quite understandable, as these languages have a considerable scope and there seems to be a language feature for every exotic problem.
The manual published by INCOSE is now available in version 5 and is based on ISO 15288 from 2023.
ISO 29110 is a "small" ISO 15288 and is particularly interesting for small companies in order to develop cost-effectively in accordance with the standard.
For people involved in requirements management, Colin Hood is a household name. Colin Hood is a systems engineer and long-standing member of the IET and INCOSE (or the German GfSE), as well as co-founder of the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB). An expert in requirements engineering and requirements management, he is the author of several books and is often referred to as...
What constitutes good systems engineering, and why do some projects hit the wall due to poor systems engineering? This question will be examined using a specific example, the Øresund Bridge (Øresundsbron). The Øresund Bridge is often cited as a prime example of successful systems engineering, including in INCOSE's Systems Engineering Handbook. There, the bridge is...
The year is drawing to a close - and this is a popular time to look into the crystal ball. Here are my predictions for 2016: 1. agility and modeling make for more effective systems engineering Agility has been on the upswing for years: especially where security does not play a (major) role, agile approaches can reduce costs and improve...
