1. Assess the
relevance of
systems
engineering to
project cases
From the study and learning materials discussed in week 3 I
have came to know about the system classifications and
engineered system classifications. The systems are classified
into structures, humans, control and social and families on the
other hand, the engineered systems are driven by stakeholders,
created, used, sustained for achieving mission, vision, goals and
purpose of the project. From the week 3 study unit I came to
know about the difference between system sciences and system
thinking. The concept of system thinking cannot be executed
without system concept and system patterns and principles. In
main cases the system approaches are applied to engineered
systems. The Ideas of system thinking are represented through
model based system engineering. I have learned that, models
are much complete, semantically rich as well as complete. In
order to execute any project different types of systems are used.
The system are created and used to deliver services and
products in various working environment to give commercial
benefits to both the stakeholders and users as well.
Apart from that, system life cycle processes are also illustrated
in the week 3 study materials. The different system life cycle
processes approaches by the project executives are agreement
process, technical management process and technical process.
The degrees of risks are calculated based on time and
functionalities. It is applicable in research and development
department, manufacturing department and marketing
department. In order to identify and resolve risks I came to
know about importance of risk control, risk intensity, risk
tolerance also.
