Figure 2.1 The product life cycle. • Systems engineering concentrates on what the entities are intended to do before determining what the entities are composed of. • This set of needs drives the life-cycle phases of acquisition and utilization, made up of design, construction or production, maintenance and support, renovation, and eventually ending with phase-out and demolition/disposal. • Any useful system must respond to identified functional needs. Figure 2.2 Life cycles of the system. Product competitiveness is desired by both commercial and public-sector producers worldwide. Thus, the systems engineering challenge is to bring products and systems into being that meet customer expectations cost-effectively.

TPMs, DDPs, DIPs • Applicable criteria regarding the system should be expressed in terms of technical performance measures (TPMs) and exhibited at the system level. • Attributes that depend directly on design characteristics are called designdependent parameters (DDPs), with specific measures thereof being the TPMs. In contrast, relevant factors external to the design are called design-independent parameters (DIPs). • Technical performance measures (TPMs)—predicted and/or estimated values for DDPs. They also include values for higher level (derived) performance considerations (e.g., availability, cost, flexibility, and supportability). • Design-independent parameters (DIPs)—factors external to the design that must be estimated and/or forecasted for use during design evaluation (e.g., fuel cost per pound, labor rates, material cost per pound, interest rates, and others). • Design-dependent parameters (DDPs)—attributes and/or characteristics inherent in the design for which predicted or estimated measures are required or desired (e.g., design life, weight, reliability, producibility, maintainability, pollutability, and others). • Technical factors may be expressed in terms of system effectiveness, which is a function of performance, operational availability, dependability, and so on.

Homework Go to the INCOSE website and find the page about the journal Systems Engineering. Pick an article that touches upon a topic in this chapter and relate it thereto in no more than one paragraph. Go to the INCOSE website and identify one individual from the Fellows group who most closely matches your own interest in systems engineering. Say why you would like to meet this person. What is the full meaning of the phrase “designing for the life cycle”? How are requirements related to technical performance measures? What is the remedy when requirements and TPMs are not in agreement?

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
QUESTION 1
First, INCOSE is an abbreviation for International Council on Systems Engineering.
INCOSE is an international non-profit organization with two main aims or purposes. First, it is
dedicated to the advancement of systems engineering. Second, it aims at raising the professional
stature of systems engineers from all over the world.

QUESTION 2
The article selected entail the Systems Engineering summit of 2018. The article can be
obtained from the following website link: https://www.incose.org/events-and-news/incose-andse-news/2018/07/17/systems-engineering-summit-2018. The article outlines the challenges that
are encountered in real world as the engineering team tries to implement the product life cycle. In
actuals system implementation, various players are required to coordinate as some duties must be
executed by more than one team. Coordination and proper planning is key to successful system
implementation.

QUESTION 3
Serge Landry, the chairman of INCOSE closely matches my interest in systems
engineering. His career has been successful has he was successful in developed various
engineering systems that are useful to day. As the chairman, he is determined to share and enhance
good professional practices in systems engineering. I will like to meet the person to know what
you must do for you to be successful in systems engineering field.

QUESTION 4
It entails the protocols, procedures and requirements that must be aligned and availed to
necessitate the implementation or realization of the product. The resources, procedures and other
requirements are predetermined hence the engineers will adhere to the elaborated protocol so as to
realize the required product as the output. It is the morphology for product realization.

QUESTION 5
WATER SUPPLY TO A DRY VILLAGE
SYSTEM LEVEL
I.

The first step will be the definition of the need. In this case, the need is to supply water to
a dry village.

II.

The second step will entail requirement analysis. The source of water should b...
