Application of a systems engineering approach to integrated product development: a pedagogical roadmap

This article describes the approach of the systems engineering to develop a Video Surveillance System. It used the concepts of integrated development and total vision framework as lines of direction for concept of the related system. The approach adopted the analysis of the interactions between product, process and organization during all the life cycle. It is consensus the continuous success of a development organization now is determined by its capacity continuously to shorten the time of the development cycle, to reduce cost, to manage risks and, at the same time, to improve the performance of the product. In the case specific of an organization that offers monitoring services can be emphasized one of the more excellent competitive advantages is the quality of the customer's attendance as much as in emergency situations and in common occurrence of accidents or situation as maintenance, contract support, acquisition and contract rescission. The approach of systems engineering can provide then a methodology capable to separate, to simplify and to prioritize the main interests in question, in order to maximize the benefits of all the stakeholders.
