1. LITERATURE REVIEW

1.1. System Engineering Process (SEP)

System Engineering Process is a compressive, iterative and recursive resolving process, used from top to bottom by management and functional teams with organisations. It converts need and their requirements into a system

Work Break-Down Structure (WBS)

Work Breakdown structure is a hierarchical breakdown of work required for a completion of a project to assist project managers to control the performance and progress of the project (Chua.D.H.K, Asce.M and Godinot. M, 2006). Figure 2.1 on the report consists of a hierarchical breakdown structure on the improving the standard of living system which is divided into three sub-systems namely: Housing, water, sanitation and electricity, employment and lastly education. These systems are further broken down to smaller elements.

The work breakdown structure has a proposal of several outstanding features which consists of the matrix providing a compact summary. Allowing the project manager to have more control over the project. Based on the proposal presented by my team, I believe that the work break down structure was well understood and the project had been divided into millstones. What we failed to identify in the WBS was the performance measurement and status report for the overall work required. Work breakdown structure is s very can also be used to coordinate and complete a system’s view of a programme management within

In this stage of the system proposal we were required to identify the objectives of the systems, the concept operations, and the users of the systems which are all South African citizens which include students, unemployed people, corporate businesses and the government. They system’s capabilities needed to be determined in order for us to identify the weaknesses that needed to be addressed and analyses to close and gas that were exposed. These weaknesses assisted us in identifying threats which were explained in the system threat assessment. In the System Threat Assessment we identified the system’s most vulnerable situation such as lack of funds for all three sub systems, corruption within government misusing funds and cable theft just to name a few.

1.6. Conclusion

In conclusion to the group assignment 3 that was presented, there was inefficient information given based on the SEPM and the TMP. This was mainly because the individuals who were given those tasks did not have a clear understanding. System Engineering Process, Work Breakdown Structure and Test Evaluation Master Plan were well defined and understood. 2.
