System Effectiveness Engineering
TCI's system effectiveness engineering focuses on the total system approach to meeting capability requirements. We apply HSI and RMA to optimize total system performance, operational effectiveness and suitability, survivability, safety, security, and affordability. Our analysis is performed to determine RMA enhancements to optimize mission operation based on the cost effective solution minimizing the logistics footprint.

We perform various engineering studies and trade-off analyses to determine that the design interfaces cost effective and that the performance is reasonable and satisfies operational capability requirements. Our team assists in implementing HSI and RMA initiatives to optimize total system performance and minimize TOC. TCI provides the following system effectiveness engineering efforts:

• Reliability parts derating, predictions, TAAF, RGT, and FRACAS analysis using MIL-HDBK-333B and 217F for guidance.
• Maintainability predications, FMECA, and demos analysis using MIL-HDBK-472(1) and BIT/BITE design assessment using guidance in MIL-HDBK-2165.
• Availability assessment using OPNAVINST 30000.12A guidelines.
• Human systems integration studies, task/skills analysis; and OI and GUI reviews using MIL-HDBK-795C guidelines.
• Safety program assessment, safety hazard analysis, and HAZMAT elimination using
• MIL-STD-882D and FED-STD-313D.
• ESOH compliance analysis with Sections 4321-4370d of title 42 U.S.C. NEPA and
• Executive Order 12114.
• Standardization compliance with SD-5, SD-15, and SD-18.
• QA review and analysis using ISO 9000.1/2 guideline
