System engineering and complexity

morreale Thursday 07 of July, 2011
Did you miss the Transforming Systems Engineering for the Age of Complexity webinar? It can now be viewed on demand. Jeffrey Wilcox
Vice President of Engineering at Lockheed Martin Corporation introduces a lot of very interesting concepts including:
  • Embracing complexity
  • Holistic selection of partners and vendors as part of the system engineering process
  • Model based development instead of document based development
  • Simplicity
  • Unexpected behavior in complex systems (microprocessor clock jitter can cause problems in large systems for example).
  • Company org chart impresses itself on the system design.
These are all fascinating topics. I long for a text book or workshop that covers each topic.
