Systems Engineering Project Management Training Course Description

The Systems Engineering Project Management Training course is designed for project practitioners and systems engineers interested in learning the fundamentals of systems engineering and project management. Systems Engineering and Project Management Training course evaluates options for bridging the gaps between Program/Project Management and Systems Engineering practices and frameworks.

This two-day Systems Engineering and Project Management Training course is intended to enhance knowledge and skills in applying PM and SE processes, techniques, frameworks and practices over the project life cycle. The course focuses on defining, planning and implementing system projects and provides insight for leading and managing project and technical teams.

Historically, program/project managers and systems engineers have viewed the stakeholder problem entirely from within their own disciplinary perspectives with little or no interaction and collaboration. They each manage project/system planning and implementation, defining the components and their interactions, building the components, and integrating the components.

Systems engineers’ and program managers’ unique knowledge, skills, experiences, and unique capabilities are essential for the successful execution of the program/project.

Project management and systems engineering Integration concepts will be addressed to describe practices, approaches and issues. The participants will compare, differentiate, and discuss similarities, differences, and applications in order to draw conclusions on how to apply these concepts in their organization.

This course will leverage the unique roles and responsibilities of the project managers and the systems engineers during the workshops and exercises.

TONEX’s Project Management and Systems Engineering Competency Framework is introduced including:

  • Project Conceptualization
  • Resource Management
  • Project Implementation
  • Project Closeout
  • Program Control and Evaluation
  • System Analysis and Design
  • System/Product Realization
  • Technical Management Strategies
  • Technical Management Processes
  • Technical Processes for designing systems

Optical Transport Networks Training by TONEX provides a  comprehensive technical introduction to Optical Transport Networks

Optical Transport Networks are composed of a set of Optical Network Elements connected by optical fibre links  to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing, routing, management, supervision and survivability of optical channels carrying client signals.

Optical transport networks consist of the networking capabilities and the technology required to support them.

In accordance with [ITU-T G.805] and [ITU-T G.800], the OTN is decomposed into independent transport layer networks where each layer network can be separately partitioned in a way which reflects the internal structure of that layer network.

G.872, the Architecture of optical transport networks) defines the building blocks of an OTN as  Digital layer, OCh-layer and Media). The digital OTN layered structure is comprised of digital path layer networks (ODU) and digital section layer networks (OTU).

The OTN is provisions the transport for any digital signal independent of client-specific aspects, i.e. client independence.

Fault Tree Analysis Training by TONEX, FTA Training

Fault Tree Analysis is s a systematic method of system analysis and part of  operations research in system reliability and safety. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) examines a system from top-dwon and provides graphical symbols for ease of understanding. It incorporates mathematical tools to focus on critical areas.

Fault tree analysis can also be also as an analytical technique for tracing the events which could contribute. It can be used in accident investigation and in a detailed hazard assessment. The fault tree is a logic diagram based on the principle of multi-causality, which traces all branches of events which could contribute to an accident or failure.

Learn the concepts of Fault tree analysis as it is used a symbolic “analytical logic techniques” and its application in reliability and safety analysis. Learn  how basic events, often made up of failures at the component level, could lead to a hypothesized failure of a system
