  1. Enterprise Systems EngineeringOne Systems Engineer's View Stephen J. Sutton, P.E. Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) Panel Presentation & Discussion INCOSE Chesapeake Chapter 15 March 2007 The opinions presented tonight represent my personal views and are not those of my employer or INCOSE

  2. Topics • Definition • Challenges • Skills and Tools

  3. ESE Definition • Engineering for the lifecycle of a complex entity • An organization (company, agency, a government) • A multi-national project (GEOSS) • This is not engineering of a well defined system with all the constraints are clear and bounded

  4. Challenges • Recognize that ESE corresponds to activities for re-engineering, strategic planning – not all technology-focused engineering • Following a process and method • Doing the hard work so that subordinate activities will be successful • Finding the right people

  5. Skills and Tools • An ESE’s Characteristics • Knows what questions to ask and information to capture • Look at the system in its environment • Work with people • Can identify or elicit needs (goals, missions, capabilities, MOEs, metrics….) • Addresses multiple levels of abstraction • Uses tools effectively • Willing to live with not getting to the gory details of technology and implementation – but having to understand the technology and implications for implementation: Concentration on activities, information, products and not on the physicality of the enterprise • Willing to live with uncertainty

  6. Strata of EnterpriseTransformations • External Environmental Constraints Transformation 1 • Lines of Business/Business Functions/Products and Services • Top Level Organization Structure/Business Geopgraphy • Strategic Plans/Measures & Metrics/Timelines • General Business Rules Transformation 2 • Operational View (capabilities, information/flows, products, services, processes) • Expanded Organization Structure/Locations & Relationships • Business Master Plan/Master Schedules • Expanded Business Rules Transformation 3 • Systems View (Master Transition Plan, Segment Definition) • Capabilities Roadmaps • Roles and Responsibilities • Detailed Business Rules Transformation 4 • Material (Systems) and Non-material (e.g., doctrine) solutions

  7. Summary • Enterprise engineering poses interesting challenges for an SE • SE is SE but the enterprise context presents differences • Certain skills take forefront
