As industries adopt consumer-focused product development strategies, they should offer broader product ranges in shorter design times and the processes that can manufacture in arbitrary lot sizes.
A valuable tool for establishing and maintaining system reliability, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has proven to be very effective in reducing unscheduled downtime for companies around the world.
Filling a new need in engineering education, Getting Design Right: A Systems Approach integrates aspects from both design and systems engineering to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and best practices in these areas.
Model-Based Enterprise describes Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) and Model-Based Definition (MBD) in detail, focusing on how to obtain significant business value from MBE.
Closed-loop supply chain activities such as remanufacturing, recycling, dismantling for spare parts, and reverse logistics have helped many companies tap into new revenue streams by finding secondary markets for their products, all while reducing their overall carbon footprint.
Without standardized construction elements such as nuts, bolts, bearings, beams, resistors and the like, the design of physical equipment is hopelessly inefficient, and engineers are continually bogged down with re-designing these elements over and over again.

Taking a close look at the national economic system of China, this book defines industrial clusters, then summarizes their measurement indices and identifies their methods.
With their ability to cross traditional boundaries and achieve a level of functionality greater than their component elements, mega-systems have helped corporations and government organizations around the world resolve complex challenges that they otherwise couldn't address with stand-alone systems.
Best Practices in Configuration Management to Ensure QualityMany organizations are invoking a new kind of management technique - Configuration Management - meant to ensure a product maintains its originally intended design, materials, composition, and processing throughout its entire lifecycle.
The rapid evolution of technical capabilities in the systems engineering (SE) community requires constant clarification of how to answer the following questions: What is Systems Architecture?
Taking a new product from the design stage to large-scale production in a profitable, efficient manner can challenge the processes of even the most advanced companies.
