Systems Engineering Report: Application Systems Analysis, [University]

This report delves into the realm of systems engineering, emphasizing the critical role of application systems in modern enterprises. It explores the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) and its relevance, highlighting how systems engineering enables successful project lifecycles. The report discusses the importance of systems engineering processes in various disciplines, including project management, and the benefits of applying these processes to improve business performance. Furthermore, it highlights the significance of model-based systems engineering and the competencies required by systems engineers to enhance business operations. The report also references the importance of systems engineering activities in delivering value based on systems competencies, culture, and infrastructure. The report concludes by mentioning the role of SEBoK and its importance in the field of systems engineering.

Systems engineering has emerged to be a critical interdisciplinary approach enabling
the full cycle of systems to be successful. The systems focus on sustaining operations,
developing a solution, and formulating problems. With the SEBoK, the users can find
relevant information regarding systems engineering thus makes it a living product with
updates and refreshers (SEBoK 2017). Based on the portfolio, systems engineering provides
information relating to engineering models, principles, and fundamental systems sciences.
Interestingly, the systems engineering processes have proved critical to the management,
specialist disciplines, engineering which are involved in the managed life cycle (Bourque and
Fairley 2014). The manual systems applications have helped in developing products, the
electronic systems engineering have benefited the enterprise and service systems.
The systems engineering has proved important to readers because it allows them to
understand the significance of improving the practice. It demonstrates the liabilities and risks
associated with poor practices (Adcock, Hutchison and Nielsen 2016). In fact, it is evident
that state of practice is evolving as engineers are expected to use model-based systems
engineering to meet the demands of the market (SEBoK 2017). Most businesses prefer the
adaptive and complex engineering systems to improve their performance. The systems
engineering never operates in isolation but intersects with different disciplines (Adcock,
Hutchison and Nielsen 2016). The disciplines are relevant to the engineering practice across
the enterprise. Systems engineering operates within various knowledge areas. Nevertheless,
systems engineering activities entail developing requirements, designing systems, and
selecting life cycle model.
Organizations have proved that they intend to operate efficiently through their project
managers. For the success of these companies, the project managers should possess special

competencies relevant to the systems engineers (Bourque and Fairley 2014). The systems
engineers have the duties to enhance the ability of businesses to operate systems engineering.
This involves the enabling teams, individuals, and enterprises and businesses. Systems
engineering activities are essential for businesses to deliver values based on systems
competencies, culture, and infrastructure and tooling.
