Description
Book SynopsisModern engineering systems are complex and multi-faceted, and must be flexible, adaptable, and fully integrated with the supply chain and other stakeholders to deliver an effective level of performance. Therefore, this book aims to create an operational view and new understanding of modern system design, commissioning, operation, services and support. It includes system of systems modelling and analysis techniques essential to develop whole of system in view of essential requirements. This book will address professional engineers/operations managers required to design, develop, implement and operate a complex socio-technical system containing many engineering systems.
Key Features
Develops a holistic view of system of systems from all possible fields of interest
Introduces the idea of system configurability to understand system of systems in parallel with the typical, classical concepts of engineering systems design
Offers effective coverage of both
