Understanding the Value of Systems Engineering

Systems engineering works with the ways complicated processes are created and managed throughout the lifecycle of the project. Systems engineering is an integration of technology and human disciplines that presents us new methods of research and new way of doing things. The world is changing constantly and this constant change demands technological progresses, upgraded systems and modifications in the presently used systems. Upgraded technology and systems are required in many fields like electricity, transport, water and food distribution networks, medicine, military defense, communications, hospitality, etc. The job of an SE is formulating his knowledge of systems and practising his technological ideas into productive discoveries.

 

The job of a systems engineer is testing of systems, checking coordination of all the parts and ensuring efficient functioning of computer systems. The job involves supporting the information technology needs of an organization. Security systems engineers evaluate, make designs and test the system security so that the system and data work well. Computer systems engineer is a person who is entrusted with the job of designing and modifying the computer hardware and software for better operation. As a network engineer or a lead systems analyst, he assumes the overall administration of networks, build up hybrid software, various hardware solutions and web products. Systems engineers often need to work with computer tools, devices, servers, various hardware and a number of other equipments.

 

The Systems Engineering department produces a cost effective software, application and hardware ranging from specification and designing to the labeling and presenting an agreed upon solution for a given problem. A systems engineer works towards the development of a new product or boosting of any aspect of a current product. And to do this he needs to understand the needs and wants of clients and work towards converting the aspirations of clients into a fully fledged product by making use of a creative yet disciplined process. Most of the Systems Engineers have advanced degrees in engineering IT and years of experience in the field.

 

As per a study there is a strong relationship between deployment of Systems Engineering (SE) and program performance; the programs deploying more SE, deliver better performance. Only 15% of the programs deploying the lowest SE could deliver the highest level of performance, whereas, 56% of those deploying the most SE, delivered the highest level of program performance. The practices of SE are all the more valuable when it is about challenging programs. With increased SE deployment, the number of programs delivering high program performance shows an increase from 8% to 62%. Therefore, as programs get more challenging, the SE practices became even more valuable as the need for SE gets increased to a great extent.

 

The overall benefit of SE is therefore clearly visible, but there are benefits of specific SE processes as well. In each of the 11 process areas like requirements development and management, program planning, product architecture, trade studies, product integration, verification, validation, program monitoring and control, risk management, configuration management and integrated product teams there exists a strong supporting relationship between SE and program performance. An increased SE deployment in any of the above mentioned areas contributes to enhanced program performance.
