Safety Integrity Level (SIL): Essential for functional safety
The Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is important for functional safety and is required by standards such as ISO 61508.
The supply chain as part of systems engineering
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted many inefficiencies in supply chains. The shortage of toilet paper in spring 2020 is one example of this, but it can also be attributed to irrational consumer behavior in some cases. The current bottleneck in semiconductors is more interesting for systems engineering. As the supply chain is part of systems engineering according to ISO 15288, it is...
