Multilayer network modeling of change propagation for engineering change management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Engineering change management is a critical and challenging process within product development. One pervasive source of difficulty for this process is the phenomenon of change propagation, by which a change to one part or ...
Addressing design challenges in mechanical counterpressure spacesuit design and space-inspired informal education policy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Extravehicular activity (EVA), or spacewalks allows astronauts to accomplish some of the most important endeavors in space history. The importance of EVA will continue to increase as people venture further into our solar ...
Stakeholder value network analysis for space-based earth observations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
The Earth Science and Applications decadal survey released by the National Research Council in 2007 presents both an ambitious engineering challenge and a challenge for the entire Earth science community to come together ...
Technical and policy issues surrounding the use of autonomous maneuverable earth observing satellites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Measuring and managing intellectual capital in the U.S. aerospace industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
"Intellectual capital" has been heralded in business journals as an important component for successful business development in today's economy. Intellectual capital consists of knowledge-based assets -- including people, ...
Responses to airport delays : a system study of Newark International Airport
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Airport delays are a significant problem in the United States air transportation system. Between 1997 and 2000 the number of flights delayed increased by between 20 and 25% per year, despite only a 3 to 5% increase in ...
Value network modeling : a quantitative method for comparing benefit across exploration architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In the design of complex systems serving a broad group of stakeholders, it can be difficult to prioritize objectives for the architecture. I postulate that it is possible to make architectural decisions based on consideration ...
Causes and impacts of Class One engineering changes : an exploratory study based on three defense aircraft acquisition programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Past studies on engineering changes have focused on products other than defense aerospace products, and have concentrated primarily on the design-manufacturing interface within single companies. Thus, engineering changes ...
Tailorability-focused recommendations for United States Air Force software acquisition policy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In order to adapt and respond to threats by near-peer-adversaries that are changing at an increasing pace, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has been focused on reforming software acquisition for rapid development and ...
