About this course

Covers how systems engineers gather information and make decisions on complex, often ambiguous information through trade studies: identifying alternatives, applying decision-making methodology, and balancing performance, schedule, cost and risk. Topics include single- and multi-variable trades, evaluating alternatives, models, attributes and weights, sensitivity analysis, trade study objectives and risk management, with case examples of common problems and simulation and graphical presentation techniques.
