Effective Systems Engineering Considers Business and Tech Needs of Customers

According to INCOSE, systems engineering provides facilitation, guidance and leadership to integrate the relevant disciplines and specialty groups into a cohesive effort, forming an appropriately structured development process that proceeds from concept to production, operation, evolution and eventual disposal.

Additionally, systems engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of customers with the goal of providing a quality solution that meets the needs of users and other stakeholders, is fit for the intended purpose in real-world operation, and avoids or minimizes adverse unintended consequences.

Systems engineering is important today because of its multiple focuses that impact nearly everyone.

For example, systems engineering establishes, balances and integrates stakeholder’s goals, purpose and success criteria as well as defining actual or anticipated customer needs, operational concept and required functionality.

Systems engineering also focuses on performing design synthesis and system verification as well as establishing an appropriate lifecycle model, process approach and governance structures.

Today, digital systems engineering has taken center stage over traditional systems engineering.

Digital systems engineering is an integrated digital approach that uses authoritative sources of systems’ data and models as a continuum across disciplines to support lifecycle activities from concept through disposal.

Effective digital systems engineering aims to formalize the development, integration, and use of models to inform enterprise and program decision making. It also provides an enduring, authoritative source of truth so that stakeholders have the current, authoritative, and consistent information for use over the lifecycle.

Additionally, digital systems engineering incorporates technological innovation to improve the engineering practice beyond traditional model-based approaches with rapid implementation of innovations.

Modern digital systems engineering also focuses on establishing a supporting infrastructure and environments to perform activities, collaborate, and communicate across stakeholders. This helps transform the culture and workforce to adopt and support digital engineering across the lifecycle
