System Engineering

I shall concentrate my remarks upon a few of the techniques that the System Engineer has been using increasingly during the past decade—powerful techniques from science, mathematics, and economics that the System Engineer is finding have frequent and general applicability in his field. I shall also present my own views regarding good general strategies to use in approaching various types of system engineering tasks, views that seem to me often to conflict both with the majority view and with common practice among system engineers. My own system engineering experience is almost entirely with military systems, and there always with only a portion of some major system; it is rare, if ever, that one man has had the opportunity to system engineer a major military system from conception to operation, so almost all experience is fragmentary in this sense. Management Technology, ISSN 0542-4917, was published as a separate journal from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 it was merged into Management Science.
