“…The research made use of a mixed-methods approach that incorporated both textual and numerical data to construct the theoretical model. In conducting the research, the study drew on the principles of systems engineering, an interdisciplinary field that uses a systematic, iterative, and holistic approach to designing high quality technical systems [19,28,47,60]. Its principles, however, are broadly applicable to non-technical systems, and were deemed suitable for this study, as it sought to produce a strategic assessment that functions as an integrated, coherent whole.…”

The hyper-competitive nature of e-business has raised the need for a generic way to appraise the merit of a developed business strategy. Although progress has been made in the domain of strategy evaluation, the established literature differs over the 'tests' that a strategy must pass to be considered well-constructed. This paper therefore investigates the existing strategy-evaluation literature to propose a more integrated and comprehensive normative strategic assessment that can be used to evaluate and refine a business's competitive strategy, adding to its robustness and survivability. OPSOMMINGDie hiper-mededingende aard van e-besigheid het bygedra tot 'n groter behoefte vir 'n generiese manier om die meriete van 'n ontwikkelde besigheidstrategie te evalueer. Alhoewel daar alreeds vordering gemaak is in die strategie evaluering domein, wissel die bestaande literatuur beduidend in verband met die verskeie 'toetse' wat 'n strategie moet slaag om as 'goed' beskou te word. Hierdie artikel het daarom die bestaande strategie evaluering literatuur ondersoek en stel 'n meer geïntegreerde en omvattende normatiewe strategiese evaluering voor. Dié evaluering kan gebruik word om die kompeterende strategieë van besighede te evalueer en te verfyn, en dra daardeur by tot die besigheid se robuustheid en oorlewing.

“…It involves looking at a problem in its entirety, taking into account all the facets and all the variables and relating the social to the technical aspect. Systems engineering is an iterative process of top-down synthesis, analysis, development, and operation of a real-world system that satisfies, in a near optimal manner, the full range of requirements for the system [2]. It is a tightly coupled interdisciplinary approach and meant to enable the realization of successful systems.…”

Systems Engineering Role and Importance in Weapon Development

Defence industry is involved in numerous weapon development programs to meet the requirement armed forces. Aerospace platforms, underwater systems and other major systems often comprise a large number of interacting subsystems that have to collectively satisfy a set of specified goals. Moreover, these requirements often evolve throughout the development cycle and improvements during the life of the system. Additionally, these may be contradicting requirements. Systems Engineering (SE) provides designers the capability to manage complex relationships within a subsystem design and across the rest of the subsystems. Systems engineering ensures that, the primary system complies with the most challenging requirements from concept development through production and then the extended service life. The purpose of this article is to share my experience in Systems engineering during the design and development phase of weapon systems. The concept of connectivity diagram is used here.

“…Super-FRS is a complex machine that comprises multiple complex systems. The SE approach is necessary for developing Super-FRS RH logistics because 70% of the cost for complex systems is fixed [55] (Figure 18) at the concept design stage; hence it is of utmost importance to develop a reliable system from the initial stage. In order to ensure the Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety (RAMS) and the costs concerned, a Model based Systems Engineering (MBSE) will be adopted.…”

“…An MBSE approach adopted for developing the RH logistics is shown in Figure 21. This model is based on studies from INCOSE [55] and NASA SE models [56]. This SE approach is suggested in order to effectively develop a RH logistic system that will avoid high cost changes [55] from the start by defining the Super-FRS logistics requirements accurately.…”

Remote Handling (RH) systems are now frequently used to conduct inspections and maintenance in hazardous environments. New particle accelerator facilities present unique logistic challenges due to high radiation levels, a hazardous environment and heavy loads. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will deliver a beam of all ions up to uranium with intensities up to 10 12 238 U ions/s, which will cause high levels of radiation during operation so human access is limited. This paper contains a survey on RH logistics for existing High Intensity Beam (HIB) facilities to determine state of the art RH practices and to draw a conclusion based on the analysis. The second part of this paper presents a detailed study of beam losses, the radiation environment, RH logistic challenges and some proposed solutions for Super-FRS. This paper will also suggest a Systems Engineering (SE) approach for developing Super-FRS RH logistics.
