The guiding principle in Performance Based Service Acquisition is that when an outside vendor exists who can perform a service more effectively than a government user could organically, that user should specify measurable outcomes to a service vendor, and allow the vendor to best determine the appropriate processes (how) of delivering the service. Performance Based Logistics (PBL) is an extension of Performance Based Service Acquisition aimed at the logistic services for major weapon systems. PBL is intended to reduce lifecycle cost, increase readiness, improve reliability and reduce the logistical footprint of weapon systems. Introduction Performance Based Service Acquisition is a ...

Be sure and surely do to take this engineering systems integration theory metrics and methods that gives the best reasons to read. When you really need to get the reason why, this engineering systems integration theory metrics and methods book will probably make you feel curious.

Platform options of free-flying satellites, UAVs or the International Space Station for remote sensing assessment of the littoral zone

Attempts to measure Earth&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#39;s diverse objects have generated a wide range of platform alternatives, from geostationary satellites to low-flying aircraft.

In this paper use of model-based systems engineering is examined from the viewpoint of understanding connections, that is the transfer of items between system of systems. The conclusion is that systems engineering models must include executable models in order to best understand the effects of transfer of items in system of systems.

Maintenance Scheduling Using Systems Engineering Integration

INCOSE International Symposium, Jul 1, 2016

Maintenance scheduling for the United States Air Force F-15D Fighting Falcon aircraft is mapped t... more Maintenance scheduling for the United States Air Force F-15D Fighting Falcon aircraft is mapped through a general loss function and weighted by the operational and maintenance costs incurred by maintenance organizations. Scheduling of maintenance work is found to correlate with simple functions that are then mapped to an adaptive loss function. A new technique is proposed for scheduling maintenance personnel based on the minimum economic losses to program and functional managers in a matrix organization.

This paper is a rethinking of the theoretical foundations and systematics of Gap Analysis with practical extensions to illustrate its utility and limitations. It also provides a new perspective on those theoretical foundations from the perspectives of systems and value engineering. The growing sophistication and complexity of new systems or system of systems have resulted in a dramatic increase in time and money to reach operational capability. Gap Analysis, properly defined and enacted, clarifies goals, appropriate investment and the end-use.
