You're optimizing system performance. How can you ensure cost reductions without sacrificing quality?

By automating routine tasks and adopting energy-efficient practices, we can reduce costs without compromising on quality. Regular monitoring will help keep everything in check.

People talk a lot about management systems, without applying a systems approach to management. Without a systems approach, every problem appears to be a new problem, treated as if the resources for fixing problems were infinite. Both assumptions are wrong. Do this: pick an undesired outcome and, instead of just investigating what caused it, dig deep to find why, considering all knowledge that entered the organization, since its creation, it failed to prevent such outcome. Only by fixing those “whys” the organization will be to collect wholesale benefits from retail solutions.

One way to increase system performance is through lean principles, reduce inventory cost. Steam line activities in process. This will actually work all activities are defined. This will reduce your inventories.

A traceable, change-managed representation of the needs of the Stakeholders enables lean discipline from Vision to Validation - for example through well documented Requirements with priority (MoSCoW) and Rationale.

o ensure cost reductions without sacrificing quality while optimizing system performance, focus on streamlining processes to eliminate waste, implement preventive maintenance to avoid costly breakdowns, and leverage automation to enhance efficiency. Additionally, conduct energy audits to reduce operational costs, engage in strategic vendor negotiations for better pricing, and invest in employee training to improve skill levels and reduce errors. By taking a holistic approach, you can achieve cost savings while maintaining high standards of performance and quality.

Starting with a modular design is a double edge sword. >If you are starting new product,its easy and beneficial. But that doesn't happen in most of the situations. >Challenge would be if you already have a productline and you want to adapt a modular design approach. There should be a clear scope definition and alignment between different productlines for a smooth transition. Else it will end in lots of field issues.

A modular design approach in systems engineering indeed offers significant benefits, such as flexibility, cost reduction, and ease of maintenance. However, it's crucial to strike a careful balance between over-engineering and good engineering. Spending too much time considering potential future scenarios that may never materialize can lead to delays and increased costs. Instead, focus on the present requirements and build the system. When you notice that certain sections of the system are likely to be reused, that's the time to implement modular design principles. This approach ensures that you optimize both development time and cost-effectiveness while still reaping the benefits of modular design.

Modularity is mostly a recurring cost reduction measure. The modularity has normally a higher not recurring cost due to the amount of design, analysis, testing and qualifications required to demonstrate the whole concept of modularity. Therefore, I tend to consider it a cost optimization design property only considering the global product lifecycle and its exploitation in several missions/systems.

Modular approach will optimize algorithms to reduce time complexity. Choosing the right algorithm for the task can significantly improve performance. This can be listed in process steam lining.

Modular Design supports the functional breakdown from the abstract "needs and wants" through to system Integration for testing and validation purposes. May also be useful for replication in other contexts.

Performance metrics sever several functions to ensure quality while keeping cost savings. First, it allows the developer and customer to track performance and performance trends and plan for or take action when trends are not desirable. Assuming a well thought out systems engineering approach, performance metric triggers then mandate risk assessment, development and evaluation of fallback plans, and the application of Lean principles with customers/uses to revisit how key functionality is developed and how the performance of those functions is achieved and assessed.

My opinion: metrics such as Key Performance Indicators should be expressed in the context of Vision ("Where do I want to be?") and Success Factors ("How will I know when I'm there?") - but must be traceable and change managed according to Stakeholder ratification. KPIs can be used to inform the supply chains, for example the key manufacturing metrics that support the User KPIs directly or indirectly.

Having enough people from different intrest groups specifying the validation criteria so thst the system serves its purpose and then defining the criteria for verification of correct functionality of the system early on can save time and unnecessary iterations in the systems implementation phases. Expanded to maintenance and reused and fitted for new systems of the same type in the system developer's product portfolio. Ultimately a testing environment allowing ensuring immediately after updates that performance criteria are met makes the system meet the high quality while minimizing not only the short term costs but also the costs over the entire system life span.

La integración de la automatización en sistemas ha avanzado considerablemente con la IA, la IA no solo facilita la automatización de tareas repetitivas, sino que también permite un desarrollo más ágil y eficiente de estas integraciones. Al utilizar IA, los procesos de automatización pueden ser adaptados y optimizados en tiempo real, lo que reduce significativamente los tiempos de implementación y los costos asociados. Además, la IA tiene la capacidad de aprender y mejorar continuamente, lo que permite una mayor precisión y una adaptación más rápida a las necesidades, la automatización puede ser ahora un proceso mucho más rápido y eficiente, permitiendo a las organizaciones aprovechar al máximo sus recursos tecnológicos y humanos.

Automation supports the convergence and acceleration towards AI Generative Systems Engineering, but humans must be kept In The Loop as this happens.

Listing out the risks are very essential. This will not only have all the stake holders in knowing it, you will have a plan to mitigate it. You have can risk defined according to your needs and have lead time and cost associated to it. This will have you prepared for worse case.

En la gestion de riesgo lo que tenemos que hacer es lo siguiente: *Verificar los pasos a seguir *Tener una plan respuesta alguna falla *Corregir los errores mediante una estrategia planteada desde el inicio. *No malgastar los recursos dados entre otros
