TL;DR: An application of Multi Domain Matrices is proposed in order to model the key aspects of repetitive decisions on the same TPM during the system life-time and highlights how to manage evaluation, a coherent and effective decision process.
Abstract: Systems Engineers experience recurrent decisions on the same Technical Performance Measures, TPMs, during the overall systems life-cycle. The availability of a coherent decision framework allows identifying, implementing and evaluating effectiveness of the resulting Verification Validation and Testing strategy. It supports continuous improvement of the system and sustainable human factors integration. This paper proposes an application of Multi Domain Matrices in order to model the key aspects of repetitive decisions on the same TPM during the system life-time. It highlights how to manage evaluation, a coherent and effective decision process. The prior and quantitative evidences are updated by new evidences into the posterior and qualitative ones. The advantages and the cons of the selected approach in terms of representation, knowledge increase, sharing and evaluation are discussed.

TL;DR: This chapter explores the construct of "resilience" and how it may be used for the identification of outcomes and controllability of systems in health-care environments and demonstrates how principles of resilience can be used in the analysis, conceptual development, and formation of various types of human-centered health systems.
Abstract: The concepts of “high-reliability organizations” and “patient experience” have become relatively common in health-care operations parlance. However, to date, there have been few scientifically based systematized methods for operationalizing these constructs in the design of systems used in the delivery of human health care. This chapter explores the construct of “resilience” and how it may be used for the identification of outcomes and controllability of systems in health-care environments. Based on the epistemologies of psychology and engineering, resilience offers a vehicle for unifying the technical performance measures of optimal user-experience with the design-dependent parameters of high-reliability performance. An adaptive capacity taxonomy, applied-use case studies, and select systems engineering tools that can facilitate bidirectional visual traceability of systems design will be presented. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how principles of resilience can be used in the analysis, conceptual development, and formation of various types of human-centered health systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a performance-based method of mathematically combining quantified expert opinion for technical performance estimation and risk analysis is proposed, based on the technical risk index distribution method developed by Lewis, Mazzuchi and Sarkani.
Abstract: The rapidly changing environment and asymmetric threats currently encountered on the modern battlefield requires the timely delivery of effective weapons systems. Unfortunately in fiscal year 2008, according to the US Government Accountability Office, research and development costs of the United States Department of Defense major weapons acquisition programs increased 42 percent above original estimates, and delays in initial operational capability deliveries slipped to 22 months. While there are several quantitative methods to estimate acquisition program cost and schedule performance and to identify their risks (e.g., Earned Value Management), the estimation of technical performance and technical risk identification is generally heuristic in nature and based on expert judgment because of limited quantitative data for constructive modeling. The proposed research in this paper expands upon the Technical Risk Index Distribution method developed by Lewis, Mazzuchi and Sarkani by incorporating a performance-based method of mathematically combining quantified expert opinion for technical performance estimation and risk analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the technical parameters towards the fulfillment of customer's requirements obtained through the questionnaire in respect to improve the quality of education in a technical institute, which is a basic part of QFD in education.
Abstract: Quality Function Deployment is one of the best management tools of TQM. QFD helps in come across the customer’s needs and requirements before actually delivering the product or service to the customer. This paper is based on the review of various literatures, research papers and study in a technical institute. Having a basic part of QFD in education, the purpose of this paper is to identify the technical parameters towards the fulfillment of customer’s (student) requirements obtained through the questionnaire in respect to improve the quality of education in a technical institute.

TL;DR: In this paper, the cognitive processes of novice and expert technicians in line with expertise development from the perspective of cognitive psychology have been discussed and analyzed for the identification of innovative teaching methods for the development of technical expertise.
Abstract: Technical education plays a significant role in providing middle level manpower needed for work in various industries for development and economic growth of every nation. There is the need for technical education to provide students with expertise to cope with the changing industrial demands in the present knowledge and technological economy. However, research has identified a significant gap between technical education and industries. For this reason the present teaching methods and the practices of technical education have been questioned. This article discusses and analyses the cognitive processes of novice and expert technicians in line with expertise development from the perspective of cognitive psychology. The intention is to describe and propose a model of technical expertise towards the identification of innovative teaching methods for the development of technical expertise in technical schools.
