CIMdata in the News “Systems Engineering Offers Big-Picture Design”

In the April issue of Desktop Engineering in an article titled “Systems Engineering Offers Big-Picture Design” the author Tom Kevan notes that systems are becoming more complex, and the traditional ways of driving product development and analyzing system requirements no longer work. In most cases, “the way we’ve always done it” does not adequately consider the product as a whole nor make the customer’s requirements the top priority.”

In this article Ken Amann, CIMdata’s Director of Research, comments on the need for a systems engineering approach to product design:

“As products have gotten more complex, we’ve had to look at the product in more totality,” says Kenneth Amann, director of research for CIMdata. “We’ve had to take a more holistic view of it to truly understand it and to make sure the tradeoffs we are making in the design are proper.”
