INTRODUCTION
Background introduction
This study report is about a sustainable engineering systems and its related constituents of
the environment (Madsen. and De Percy., 2020). The report will analyse the understanding of
systems approach in the engineering management by describing various features and attributes of
the system selected. There will be a complete assessment that will depict the interrelationship
between the systems and subsystems of the environment that will highlight its key features and
objectives regarding the chosen methodology's problems and challenges.
System selection
The system selected for this report is Telstra, that is an Australian telecommunication
company which holds expertise in building and operating telecommunication networks, internet
services, and other related services. This system is selected for the report because the company is
said to be the largest telecommunication service provider of Australia in terms of its market
share. The system tends to cover the superior range in the competitive environment with its
extended reach even in the not reachable areas of the continent.
MAIN BODY
Characterisation of system under study:
Systems objectives/ purpose:
The main purpose of the system is to provide the best network to build an advanced and
reachable connection between the firm and its people to build a connected future for everyone to
take advantage of the networking and technology provided. This is because the
telecommunication industry is building an enormous growth structures that will grow as fast as
the digital technology and the world are changing pace in the current era. At Telstra, new ideas
are fostered in different ways to work and think in order to form a diversified working culture to
innovate the future aspirations. There are various core values that they abide by in order to
satisfy the customers. These are :
1. They are change makers in relation to setting of the goals and delivering the right
deliverables.
2. They believe in working altogether in a team and also believe in embracing each others
shared values and beliefs.

3. They care about their customers in providing them with the best telecommunication
services without any hindrance in its optimization.
4. The more simple it is, the easier it becomes. This value is a core one as it describes how a
company serves its customers and other associates.
All these core values are being followed by them in order to be the best option of the
telecommunication services in the global market. They have always proved this by providing
their stakeholders with the required products and services needed for their utilization to avoid
any unwanted circumstances between them and their customers and owners.
Environment:
As the system is known as the leading telecommunication and technology supervisor in
terms of energy user, Telstra has an important and sustainable environment and recognizes
various challenges faced by the environment nowadays. For the betterment of the environment,
system operates as the certified carbon neutral organization to activate the environmental
program. This is done to reduce the emissions of harmful materials that can cause an unrest
towards the environment. The system works to ensure that their operations always comply with
the international as well as the environmental obligations including monitoring and managing the
increasing complexity of the prevailing environmental risks that can result in the harm of others.
The system has always used the latest technology equipments to minimise the environmental
impacts and are helping their customers and suppliers to do the same in the evaluation of success
rates. As Australia's largest telecommunication service provider, they tend to recognise that
climate change and environmental sustainability are the defining challenges of the decade and
thus, have a responsibility to act accordingly.
1. Environmental customer value proposition
2. Operational excellence in which it is actively identified and minimised the material
environmental impacts.
3. Sustainable supply chain operations have initiated to work with suppliers to manage and
reduce the environmental and social impacts of their operations.
Objectives and purposes of the subsystems:
There are many network systems that are operating under Telstra that offer the top
connection management which make it easier for the users to utilise a web page dashboard
interface. The purpose and goal is to make the efficiency of its networking system to expand
