Systems Engineering Process Metrics: The easy way?

摘要

This paper disucsses various types of metrics for evaluation of the Systems Engineering Process in an enterprise. It discusses Continuous measurement Improvement (cmi) and how these metrics fit. It presents in detail one metric that should be applied at the start of cmi and a unique way of gathering information across a diverse enterprise. Finally, the paper will discuss the purpose for which this information is being used. Readers should take note that the principles discussed in this material are applicabile to any engineering discipling. These methods are of ever increasing importance in today's environments of mergers and acquisitions. Enterprises ant a metric that is useful and applicable to a wide vearity of business components and yet not painful to gather the information.
