Enterprise Life-Cycle

• The concept of a life-cycle is central to systems engineering.

• The enterprise life-cycle describes the history of the enterprise from the initial
concept of a business in the mind of an entrepreneur, through a series of
phases as the enterprise grows, until the business venture ends.

4
Enterprise Life-Cycle

• The enterprise life-cycle consists of three general, distinct stages:

 Development covers the engineering phases to create an enterprise system,

 Deployment is the change management process to implement the

enterprise system, and

 Operation is the management of the enterprise system and its continuous

improvement

5
Enterprise Life-Cycle (Cont..)

• The typical enterprise life-cycle phases as:

1. System identification – The system boundaries, purpose, and project scope are defined.

2. Analysis – The system problems are analyzed; requirements are generated.

3. Design – The system design is generated.

4. Construction – The system is built.

5. Implementation – The system is implemented and deployed into its environment.

6. Operation and Maintenance – The system is operated and maintained.

7. Decommission– The system is retired.

Enterprise Life-Cycle (Cont..)

• Phases 1 through 4 are part of the enterprise

development methodology.

• These are the phases done during an

enterprise engineering project to develop a
new enterprise or enterprise subsystem.
• Phase 5 is the deployment phase when the
enterprise is implemented and deployed into
its environment.
• Phase 6 is the operation of the enterprise

development and operation.

Enterprise Design Methods

8
Enterprise Design Methods

• To design an enterprise is a complex undertaking involving a large

group of people over a long period of time.
• In order to be successful, the project team members need to work
together in an effective and efficient manner. To accomplish this, view
enterprise design as a problem.

9
Enterprise Design Methods

• The problem can be posed as:

 Given a project goal, determine the problem scope and problems;

 analyze them and generate requirements;

 generate alternatives, evaluate them, and choose the best alternative;

 design the enterprise system;

 implement the design; and

 maintain the design with periodic updates to improve the enterprise.

10
Enterprise Design Methods (Cont..)

• To solve such complex problems engineers use methodologies.

• A general problem-solving methodology is:

• Scope the problem.

• Design the solution.

• Evaluate the solution.

• Satisfactory? – If not, then repeat.

11
Enterprise Design Methods (Cont..)

• The goal of an enterprise design methodology is to specify and develop a

“best” system solution that will demonstrably satisfy the requirements of all
enterprise stakeholders.

• One goal of an enterprise methodology is to provide a systematic approach

to understanding all the stakeholder perspectives, understanding the
problem situations facing the enterprise, and determining a strategy for
meeting the stakeholder needs.

• This is done in phases 1 and 2 of the problem-solving methodology. 12

Enterprise Design Methods (Cont..)

• In addition to understanding the design problem, a methodology needs to

guide the team on how to generate solutions (or designs) to satisfy the
requirements.

• This is done in phase 3 of the problem-solving methodology.

• Once a design is proposed, there needs to be a way to evaluate how good

the design is.

13
Enterprise Design Methods (Cont..)

• Again, a methodology must include activities, techniques, and tools to help

the team evaluate the feasibility, economics, and merits of proposed design
solutions.

• This is done during phase 4 to test the solutions.

• The enterprise design methodology is iterative, and it takes several iterations

of understanding, analyzing, designing, and evaluating before arriving at a
final enterprise design.
14
Enterprise Design Methods (Cont..)

• Once a design is selected, the methodology needs to help the team construct
the system, which involves a combination of building new systems, acquiring
systems, training people, generating documentation, and other activities
needed to create the enterprise system.

• Implementation is a matter of going live with the system; change

management is the critical activity here, and frequently the determinant of
overall project success.
