Applying Total Quality Management to systems engineering

The AI team take a deep dive into a 30-year old book, "Applying Total Quality Management to Systems Engineering," explores various facets of systems engineering within a Total Quality Management (TQM) framework. It details the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC), outlining phases from requirements definition and design to implementation, testing, and maintenance. The author emphasizes the importance of cost-effective engineering, process improvement, and risk mitigation, introducing concepts like anticipatory testing and metrics for product and process quality. Furthermore, the text examines contractual considerations, proposal development, and the critical role of effective communication and teamwork in achieving successful project outcomes, concluding with discussions on professional ethics and organizational improvement strategies. Save money, the book is available from pre-owned or used book suppliers are very reasonable prices.

Om Podcasten

The AI team take a deep dive into successful innovative tools, practical and conceptual applications of systems thinking and beyond and systems engineering to various types of problems, summarizing the concepts behind the successes and usually drawing general conclusions for how the concepts may be used in other situations. The opinions expressed by the AI team in each deep dive are their own and have not been edited in any way. While systems thinking provides an understanding of the problematic situation, you need to go beyond systems thinking to create solutions, especially innovative solutions.
