Systems Engineering Lessons Learned - A Case Study Course (Tonex Training)

Length: 4 Days

Systems Engineering Lessons Learned case study course will illustrate the strategies to reveal the causes of engineering plan failures either as technical flaws , human judgment, basic leadership and lack of understanding about certain fundamental issues in the analysis and configuration process.

Systems Engineering Lessons Learned is a TONEX Case Study Problem-based training course that challenges participants to learn through engagement in real issues by analyzing and examining the case studies and performing Failure Analysis Workshops.


TONEX’s case study course includes industrially-derived case studies showing success engineering, failures, failure analysis, and forensic engineering focusing on:

Design Failures
Organizational and Planning Failures
Leadership and Governance Failures
Judgment Failures
Underestimation and Analysis Failures
Quality Failures
Risk Failures
Skills, Knowledge and Competency Failures
Edgemont, Teamwork and Communications Failures
Strategy Failures

Learning through Case Studies – Presentation of Alternatives for Case Studies
