The proper organizational environment must be created that will allow for the accomplishment of system engineering requirements in an effective and efficient manner—that is, the implementation of a top-down, life-cycle-oriented, integrated approach in system design and development. In addition, the organization must be dynamic in response to the many changes that are taking place worldwide.
Figure 6.1 (Chapter 6) shows two sides of the spectrum: the technology issues that can be applied to enhance and facilitate the implementation of the system engineering process and the management issues that are necessary to meet the objectives in this area. Inherent in this overall spectrum is the organizational element.
Organization is the combining of resources in such a manner as to fulfill a certain need.
