An overview of the Systems Engineering Capability Model EIA/IS 731

Abstract

As the world marketplace continues to demand "better, faster and cheaper", organizations are searching for new tools to assist them in meeting this need. Systems Engineering is at the heart of product development and improving the performance of this discipline is key to organizational success. The Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM) is a tool that organizations can use to evaluate the capability of their current Systems Engineering process. The SECM also provides a framework that can be used as a guide for developing or improving a structured Systems Engineering process.
