An Analytical Framework And Model Formulation For Measuring Risk In Engineering Enterprise Systems: A Capability Portfolio Perspective, Paul Raphael Garvey

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations

This work formulates an analytical framework and computational model for assessing risk in engineering enterprise systems. It addresses the engineering management problem of how to represent, model, and measure risk in large-scale, complex systems engineered to function in enterprise-wide environments.

The research in this dissertation extends current practice in the management of risk for traditional systems and creates new constructs and protocols for the management of risk in engineering large-scale, complex, and highly networked enterprise systems. This work advances engineering management theory and analytic practice as applied to the measurement and management of risk for enterprise systems engineered within capability …

Component Obsolescence Risk Assessment, Craig Josais, Janis P. Terpenny, Kenneth J. Mclean

Janis P. Terpenny

Custom low volume products and systems, such as those utilized by military and avionics applications; often make use of commercial high-tech components. In the past decade, technology has advanced very rapidly causing such components to have a shortened life span. Newer and better technologies are being introduced frequently, rendering components obsolete. Yet, custom low volume products and systems such as ships, submarines and aircraft can be in use for decades. Being proactive about obsolescence is critical to maintaining fully capable products and systems and satisfied customers. This paper presents an obsolescence risk measurement tool that is being developed to better …
