The Need for a Systems Engineering Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper will explore the need for a comprehensive approach to measuring, and predicting, degradations in aging NATO aircraft and use of these predictions in a ‘systems approach’ to solving the challenges faced in supporting these aircraft. Various groups within the NATO countries have already accomplished significant progress in this area, so this paper is an attempt to refine a more global process that will provide the most useful results in the least amount of time. We believe that the appropriate application of both emerging and seemingly unrelated technologies, coupled with a systems engineering management approach, may provide acceptable results.

Transformation from manufacturing process taxonomy to repair process taxonomy: a phenetic approach
The need of taxonomy is vital for knowledge sharing. This need has been portrayed by through-life engineering services/systems. This paper addresses this issue by repair process taxonomy development. Framework for repair process taxonomy was developed followed by its implementation. The importance of repair process taxonomy has been highlighted.
متن کاملTwo-stage Production Systems under Variable Returns to Scale Technology: A DEA Approach
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric approach for performance analysis of decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs without the need to consider internal operations of each unit. In recent years, there have been various studies dealt with two-stage production systems, i.e. systems which consume some inputs in their first stage to produce ...

متن کاملReliability analysis of repairable systems using system dynamics modeling and simulation
Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...
