SYST 513: Total Systems Engineering, Reengineering and
Enterprise Integration
Prerequisite: SYST
510 or SYST 520
Principles of strategic
quality, including TQM. Quality standards including ISO9000 and 14000.
Organizational leadership, cultures, and process maturity, reengineering.
Quality, organization learning and reengineering approaches to enable
information integration and management and environment and framework
integration in the systems engineering of knowledge intensive systems. Emphasis
is placed on the role of integrated product and process design teams, standard
and commercial off the shelf products in enterprise integration. Architecture
driven system characteristics are studied, as is transition management of
legacy systems. (Fall)
