In particular, reliability analyses have frequently not -kept pace with the design process even when stress and thermal analysis were available. The problem has three roots, 1. lack of accurate fa

This is true regardless of

18、the intended product or service involved - be it study, demonstration / validation or production. The hierarchy is symbolic of a communication process where information becomes more detailed as activities become more detailed. Each level needs to be coordinated and iterated many times with superior

19、and dependent relationships starting with requirements as stated by the Government. controlled by the customer (e.g. DoD) that must be furnished to the contractor/designer in order to perform effective analyses and trade-offs. In this manner everyones perspective is similar. Unequivocal information

20、is provided, thus eliminating or minimizing the need for judgement decisions regardless of system purpose, size, or complexity. Since all of the pieces are required to make the total system function properly, it is necessary that everyone understands the total system perspective, i.e. what it is and

21、 how it will be used and maintained. Every decision made by anyone involved with a weapons system has a potential effect on the performance of that system. Every decision represents a potential trade study. Judgement and a system perspective are necessary to determine what trade studies are necessar

22、y and what depth of analysis is appropriate. In many cases a smaller trade study feeds into a larger study that ultimately determines the viability of various system options. On the other hand it probably is not worth spending more on a trade study than the elements impact on total system value. Sys

23、tem Engineering is a team effort. Everyone capable of infiluencing system design is a part of the team. Program Manager may be considered the coach, and the Systems Engineering Manager may be considered the quarterback, they alone cannot be held accountable for winning or losing. Each design special

24、ist (reliability, maintainability, testability,supportability, producibility, human factors, quality engineer, safety, weights, stress, thermal, etc.) has an important role to play. Not only does each directly impact system performance and/or program costs and schedules, each usually provides inputs

25、 to other design specialists and thus has an additional but indirect, design impact. For example a thermal analysis might indicate unacceptable Ilhot spotsft in a circuit design, while simultaneously providing inputs to the reliability prediction process. indicate compliance with established reliabi

26、lity allocations and at the same time provide inputs to maintainability, supportability, and testability specialists. The effectiveness and efficiency of the system engineering process is, therefore highly dependent upon the degree to which each role player recognizes his direct and indirect design

Above and beyond that point, there must be a willingness to compromise. Preferably, these compromises are basis.

30、Given that each specialist has done his homework and presents his case honestly and objectively, the majority of design decisions should be incontestable. Where major issues are involved, the system engineer can pull together individual inputs to gauge the overall system impact and recommend the app

USER IMPORTANCE It is important to recognize the difference and importance of the user and the customer. Both of these parties are important, and are often not the same. The customer is the procuring agency

The user is the airman, soldier or sailor who operates the end item in both time of war and peace. The life of the user may depend on the performance of the end i

DEFINITION OF SYSTEM

36、 1. Svstem - A composite of equipment/material, computer software, personnel, facilities and information/procedural data that satisfies a user need. J. DISCUSSION OF SYSTEM The total system may be based on a composite of other systems. Systems may be relatively simple or extremely complex. The same

37、principles apply in varying degrees to large or small systems. Subsystems may need to be treated as systems under some conditions. A unique configuration item (produced by a single contractor) may need to be treated as a system. A system need not contain all of thefive elements listed in the definit

38、ion. Do not be mislead, however, by choosing too simple an example so that the system engineering process required is too simple or trivial to serve as a good example for more complex systems. K.

DISCUSSION OF SYSTEM ENGINEER The System Engineer need not necessarily have the title of System Engineer but he must perform the system engineering function. Possible position titles include System Engineer, System Analyst, Chief Engin
