System Planning

Requirements analysis
We perform requirements analysis to see that our customer's needs are addressed. EMSolutions works with the customer to determine the goals of the system. We work to reduce unnecessary or unintended interactions to reduce costs and overhead.

System Architecture
After establishing the system requirements, we work on determining the system architecture. This requires deciding what functions must occur and how these functions relate to each other to meet the system requirements. In this way we define the system's possible functional architectures. From these possibilities we, as a team, choose an architecture on the basis of system constraints such as cost, schedule, etc.

  • System architecture concepts apply to each subsystem level.
  • System architecture establishes expectations for a system's usefulness, performance and cost.

Risk Management
Our goal is not to eliminate risk. We strive to manage risk to acceptable levels. Every systems engineering effort inherently contains elements of risk. We strive to identify risks involved in meeting your systems goals and ways to minimize these risks. There will be risks to the system's constrained resources (i.e. the schedule, budget or functionality of your system). A change affecting the system schedule, cost or functionality will necessarily affect the other constraints well. The resources dedicated to risk management are proportional to the magnitude of the system.
