We
are well-versed in the theory and practice of Systems Engineering in
accordance with EIA -632 and AS/NZS 15288:2003 ensuring that we consider all facets of a
system’s lifecycle - from eliciting system requirements from the
customer, delivering a tailored product, providing through-life
support, through to a systems’ eventual decommissioning and
disposal.
At
the front-end of the lifecycle, we are trained in the use of DOORS,
an application adopted as the Defence standard for
requirements specification and management. Through active
management of requirements, not only can we be confident that the
customer’s needs are captured in a concise, clear way but also that
all components of the end system can be linked to their source
requirements. We provide traceability of design and completeness of
system documentation to the level required by the customer.
C-E
Solutions and C-E Services’ management of each project undertaken by us is guided
and assured by the PRINCE2 project management methodology,
appropriately tailored to match the customers’ needs for project
oversight and our estimation of project complexity.
We have also performed Analysis services. An example
of this was the thermal analysis for the Bathurst Island radome in the
Northern Territory, which resulted in correct sizing of dehumidifying
HVAC equipment. The analysis resulted in a much smaller unit being
chosen for Defence, which will result in significant fuel savings over
the life of the capability, whilst still meeting requirements.
