Systems Engineering
The value of experimentation has been lost in the project planning of new products. Designers are
expected to estimate the time to develop a product that has never existed and that has performance
attributes that are not measured. Without understanding the basic relationships between inputs and
outputs, many projects are set to fail from the beginning.
Systems Engineering is the right approach to defining complex design systems or when optimization
across departments is needed.
Following a decade in the aerospace industry, where he developed the primary controls and structures for full-flight simulations, in 1999 Alan earned his professional engineer’s license and joined T.D. Williamson (TDW) as a project engineer. He supported the development of the world’s largest tapping machine, the 2460XX, and was granted six product patents in the U.S. and other countries, helping to improve the company’s position in the market.
In this course, you will learn:
• To streamline development and minimize costly rework.
• How inputs and outputs affect each other and the system's longterm behavior.
• The value of customer-centric data analytics.
• How to optimize product performance while minimizing any negative effect on manufacturing and
supply chain.
