For senior-level undergraduate and first and second year graduate systems engineering and related courses. A total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis. This practical introduction to systems engineering and analysis provides the concepts, methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand and implement a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis. The authors focus first on the process of bringing systems into being—beginning with the identification of a need and extending that need through requirements determination, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation, operation and support, phase-out, and disposal. Next, the authors discuss the improvement of systems currently in being, showing that by employing the iterative process of analysis, evaluation, feedback, and modification, most systems in existence can be improved in their affordability, effectiveness, and stakeholder satisfaction.

A focus on the end goal—designing, delivering, and sustaining functionality, a capability, or a solution. A focus on design and improvement of human-made systems—this text encompasses the domains of communications, defense, education, logistics, manufacturing, transportation, and others. Process emphasis—The authors have organised content to emphasise "process" and the logical development of material for application both in the classroom and for design engineering, technical support, and management personnel in commercial and/or governmental organisations. Case-study and applications—the text provides abundant examples of "real-world" applications, based on the authors’ experiences from industrial applications and through consulting, including examples of different types and categories of systems, varied applications of analytical methods, tables and related material from actual experience, and related problem exercises. The text provides a realistic approach to systems engineering and analysis that is easily adaptable for both academic courses, and also effectively and efficiently applied in the development and improvement of systems in both the commercial and governmental sectors. Comprehensive content—this edition includes current references and identifies "active" sources of information where additional insight can be easily acquired. The text also offers an excellent set of references for further study. Guidance for further study is provided by a Summary and Extensions section at the end of each chapter, and a list of 37 directly related web sites are supplied in Appendix H. End-of-chapter problems and exercises—includes several different problem types and thought-provoking exercises for solution and for discussion.

New case studies have been added to enhance students’ understanding of the overall systems engineering process (Chapters 3-6). Additional case studies highlight the flexibility of the concepts and principles presented throughout this text, showing they are applicable to all categories of systems–commercial, defense, space, and more. See Chapter 3 (Section 3.4), Chapter 4 (Section 4.3), and Chapter 5 (Section 5.2). New material on current issues—sustainability, green engineering, environmental engineering, and more, including an entire chapter on Design for Producibility, Disposability, and Sustainability (Chapter 16). Two new examples (a river-crossing bridge and a healthcare capability) have been added to the numerous other examples already presented in earlier Editions, and demonstrate application of the concepts to new and different categories of systems. Introduction and illustrations pertaining to system-of-systems (SOS), in terms of both operational and maintenance support requirements (Chapters 3-6), provide a broader perspective of systems and the many interfaces that exist throughout their respective periods of utilization and support. Expanded coverage of various aspects of logistics (e.g., supply chains and supply chain management), and expanded Chapter 15 on Design for Logistics and Supportability. In addition to revising and enhancing all sections of the text, the authors have added new end-of-chapter problem exercises, many new and modified figures, a 181-item Bibliography (Appendix G), and a 37-item web site listing (Appendix H) to help meet learning objectives and enhance student’s ability to learn the systems engineering process.
