Through applied Systems approaches
and methodologies
Systems Approaches and Methodologies
Systems encourages the adoption, combination and adaptation of approaches and methodologies to comprehend and manage complexity; e.g. System definition Viewpoint analysis Requirements management Concept of Operations Systems V-diagram Soft Systems methodology (including Rich Pictures and CATWOE)
What is
a System?
A system" is a construct
or collection of different elements that together produce results not obtainable by the elements alone.
The elements, or parts, can
include people, hardware, software, facilities, policies, and documents; that is, all things required to produce system-level results."

What is Systems
Engineering?
"Systems Engineering is a methodical, disciplined approach for the design, realization, technical management, operations, and retirement of a system."

Human Factors and Safety Science
What is Human
Factors
?
The International Ergonomics
Association (IEA) defines Human
Factors as:
"The scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance." (IEA, 2016)

Projects
Building on the foundations of Research, Training and Education; the TCSE develops individual, team and organisational Systems competencies through the app lication of
Systems approaches and methodologies on Projects.
Programme
Management
The appropriate System Development
Lifecycle (SDLC) methodology is
dependent on the type of project and the applicable technologies.
Typical approaches applied to
projects are Staircase-, Spiral-, and/ or
Concurrent-SDLC methodologies;
as well as the Systems "Vee" Diagram.
