| Welcome to IQS Solutions for System Engineering |
|
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering, that focuses on the development and organization of complex artificial systems.
Systems engineering is defined by INCOSE as "a branch of engineering whose responsibility is creating and executing an interdisciplinary process to ensure that customer and stakeholder's needs are satisfied in a high quality, trustworthy, cost efficient and schedule compliant manner throughout a system's entire life cycle, from development to operation to disposal.
This process is usually comprised of the following seven tasks:
State the problem,
Investigate alternatives
Model the system
Integrate
Launch the system
Assess performance
and Re-evaluate.
The systems engineering process is not sequential: the tasks are performed in a parallel and iterative manner.
