Systems Engineering And Analysis 5th Edition (pearson New International Edition)

By (author) Blanchard, Benjamin S.; By (author) Fabrycky, Wolter J.
Description:

For senior-level undergraduate and first and second year graduate systems engineering and related courses.

A total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis.

This practical introduction to systems engineering and analysis provides the concepts, methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand and implement a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis.

The authors focus first on the process of bringing systems into being—beginning with the identification of a need and extending that need through requirements determination, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation, operation and support, phase-out, and disposal. Next, the authors discuss the improvement of systems currently in being, showing that by employing the iterative process of analysis, evaluation, feedback, and modification, most systems in existence can be improved in their affordability, effectiveness, and stakeholder satisfaction.

New feature:

New case studies have been added to enhance students’ understanding of the overall systems engineering process (Chapters 3-6). Additional case studies highlight the flexibility of the concepts and principles presented throughout this text, showing they are applicable to all categories of systems–commercial, defense, space, and more. See Chapter 3 (Section 3.4), Chapter 4 (Section 4.3), and Chapter 5 (Section 5.2).

New material on current issues—sustainability, green engineering, environmental engineering, and more, including an entire chapter on Design for Producibility, Disposability, and Sustainability (Chapter 16).

Two new examples (a river-crossing bridge and a healthcare capability) have been added to the numerous other examples already presented in earlier Editions, and demonstrate application of the concepts to new and different categories of systems.

Introduction and illustrations pertaining to system-of-systems (SOS), in terms of both operational and maintenance support requirements (Chapters 3-6), provide a broader perspective of systems and the many interfaces that exist throughout their respective periods of utilization and support.

Expanded coverage of various aspects of logistics (e.g., supply chains
