What, When, Where, and How Many? A Systematic Review of Technical Measure Selection Guidance in Systems Engineering Literature

扫码查看
The decisions that direct system development are based on assessments of a system, referred to as technical measures. Systems engineers select the set of technical measures for each system, informed by previous systems, guidebooks, and systems engineering research. If guidance for selecting technical measures is contradictory or does not ensure that a satisfactory set is selected, then the selected set of technical measures may not facilitate directing a system development as desired. Within large-scale complex engineered systems development, a technical measure set provides clear targets for a system and can be used to coordinate and integrate efforts by many individuals and teams. This systematic literature review of 89 academic and industry developed engineering literature sources examines over 2500 guidance statements for technical measure selection. Most guidance provides examples or abstract qualities that technical measures should exhibit. Such guidance can result in multiple sets of technical measures that each drive toward different designs. The guidance identifies origins for technical measure selection, such as from stakeholders, but lacks detail on how to elicit a set of technical measures from stakeholders. This research's systematic literature review audits the consistency, contradictions, and omissions in current guidance for selecting technical measures. From these findings, we seek to establish evidence-based research needs in technical measure selection.
