Systems engineering is increasingly being recognized as an essential technology for successful development of innovative, software-intensive smart products. Unlike the systems engineering in the Apollo age, visualized as a room full of slide-rules and skinny black ties, today’s systems engineering is more pervasive than ever before. Extending beyond typical engineering benefits such as lower costs, higher quality and reduced risk, today’s systems engineering, if utilized intelligently, can have a significant business impact – touching not only engineering, but manufacturing, procurement, support, and planning, as well as affecting future profit opportunities of long-lived products. Join Greg Gorman and Steve Shoaf as they discuss how systems engineering can impact business decisions made outside the engineering organization.
