Systems Engineering and Analysis

by Benjamin S. Blanchard

This practical introduction to Systems Engineering provides systems engineers and analysts with the concepts, methodologies, models and tools needed to understand and implement the systems approach. It views systems from a top-down, integrated, life-cycle perspective, evolving in coverage from the identification of a consumer need to design and development, production/construction, distribution, system utilization and support, retirement, and material recycling and/or disposal.

I worked through this as part of my masters degree program. It isn't exactly a gripping read but serves as a good reference book.

I came across this book while I was writing a document describing a service I co-designed and developed. In this book I found equations, principles, insights, etc which I had learned the hard way over 20 years. This book helped me crisply articulate things I had learned and made me regret not studying system and industrial engineering when I was in college.

Not a good introduction to the subject. Very dry, repetitive and poorly organized text. Charts often appear sideways making it necessary to spin the book while reading every other page. At best, the book serves as a good reference as it contains a sizable amount of information.

Read this for a Master's class, Intro to Systems Engineering. Like most textbooks of this type it's pretty dry. Very thorough, but often repetitive.
