Description:
Businesses
and projects rely on well-structured reports to ensure
accurate communication about goals and objectives, requirements,
designs, measuring and recording progress, etc. Unfortunately,
many engineering
reports and management
reports are not as clear as it should be. In order to
alleviate this problem - particularly for engineers and managers
in the early stages of their careers � this ebook contains
suggested frameworks
for a selection of commonly used system
engineering reports. (Two other ebooks by the same authors
contain frameworks for business
management reports and project
management reports.)
This
ebook is intended as a report
writing reference guide, from which ideas can be sourced about
the typical structure and contents of commonly used system
engineering reports. The ebook does not provide blueprints for all
reports that a system engineer might ever have to write, but it
provides guidelines
which should be tailored
and adapted by common
sense and experience, in order to suit specific circumstances.
The
philosophy underlying this book is: contents
follow structure - i.e. first carefully think about, and
decide upon a report
structure, and then systematically fill in the contents. When
a report structure is
defined first, the gathering of information becomes focused, and
unnecessary material is either not collected at all, or it can be
filtered out systematically.
Besides
briefly addressing the main generic
elements of a report, report
quality assurance and the system
engineering process, frameworks for the following types of
reports are provided in this ebook:
-
User
Requirements Statement
-
System
Engineering Management Plan
-
System
Specification
-
Development
Specification
-
Product

-
Trade-Off
Study Report
-
Technical

-
Interface
Control Document
-
Test
And Evaluation Master Plan
-
Test
And Evaluation Report
-
Failure
Modes, Effects, And Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Report
-
Integrated
Logistic Support Plan
Each
of these reports is briefly discussed in terms of its typical
purpose and scope, followed by a suggested framework for the
report.
