Systems Engineering and Analysis (3rd Edition)

From Book News, Inc.
In dedicating this text to those graduating with interdisciplinary masters degrees in systems engineering from their school, Blanchard and Fabrycky (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and U.) signal a field encompassing domains such as: communications, healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation. Each entails the system design process: need identification, functional analysis, detail design and development, and system test/evaluation. Further analyses and models in decision-making are presented, as are systems engineering management particulars. Questions and answers conclude chapters. Includes design review checklists and statistical tables. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Book Description
This practical introduction to Systems Engineering provides systems engineers and analysts with the concepts, methodologies, models and tools needed to understand and implement the systems approach. It views systems from a top-down, integrated, life-cycle perspective, evolving in coverage from the identification of a consumer need to design and development, production/construction, distribution, system utilization and support, retirement, and material recycling and/or disposal.

Book Info
Focuses on the engineering of systems and on systems analysis. Provides all the tools needed to understand and apply systems engineering to all types of human-made systems. DLC: Systems engineering.

The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
An introduction to systems engineering -- the process, the models and tools used in systems analysis, the design for operational feasibility, and systems engineering management.
