Abstract
This article details the first step in the system dynamics analysis of the systems engineering process for the evolution of legacy systems into an enterprise. This step develops a model that depicts the interaction of the various components associated with the system of interest. This model is a collection of causal loop diagrams that will foster the development of a novel framework known as the enterprise lifecycle model, which will support system dynamics analysis through three stages: planning, development, and execution. Peer‐reviewed academic and industry sources will be utilized to understand how accepted literature defines this analysis. Specifically, this model will be based on the Vee lifecycle model as well as the Agile and Iron Triangle frameworks. Supplemental elements will be added to these diagrams to incorporate the environment within which the system of interest is planned, developed, and executed. Additional factors, such as quality management, will be added to complete the super system and system of interest views of the enterprise lifecycle model—with the goal of creating a model depicting a reductive and holistic view that aids in the reduction of complexity surrounding the systems engineering process used to prepare legacy systems for evolution into an enterprise and support the definition of the desired target system.
期刊介绍：
Systems Engineering is a discipline whose responsibility it is to create and operate technologically enabled systems that satisfy stakeholder needs throughout their life cycle. Systems engineers reduce ambiguity by clearly defining stakeholder needs and customer requirements, they focus creativity by developing a system’s architecture and design and they manage the system’s complexity over time. Considerations taken into account by systems engineers include, among others, quality, cost and schedule, risk and opportunity under uncertainty, manufacturing and realization, performance and safety during operations, training and support, as well as disposal and recycling at the end of life. The journal welcomes original submissions in the field of Systems Engineering as defined above, but also encourages contributions that take an even broader perspective including the design and operation of systems-of-systems, the application of Systems Engineering to enterprises and complex socio-technical systems, the identification, selection and development of systems engineers as well as the evolution of systems and systems-of-systems over their entire lifecycle.
Systems Engineering integrates all the disciplines and specialty groups into a coordinated team effort forming a structured development process that proceeds from concept to realization to operation. Increasingly important topics in Systems Engineering include the role of executable languages and models of systems, the concurrent use of physical and virtual prototyping, as well as the deployment of agile processes. Systems Engineering considers both the business and the technical needs of all stakeholders with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user needs. Systems Engineering may be applied not only to products and services in the private sector but also to public infrastructures and socio-technical systems whose precise boundaries are often challenging to define.
