Decision Making in Systems Engineering and Management is acomprehensive textbook that provides a logical process andanalytical techniques for fact-based decision making for the mostchallenging systems problems. Grounded in systems thinking andbased on sound systems engineering principles, the systemsdecisions process (SDP) leverages multiple objective decisionanalysis, multiple attribute value theory, and value-focusedthinking to define the problem, measure stakeholder value, designcreative solutions, explore the decision trade off space in thepresence of uncertainty, and structure successful solutionimplementation. In addition to classical systems engineeringproblems, this approach has been successfully applied to a widerange of challenges including personnel recruiting, retention, andmanagement; strategic policy analysis; facilities design andmanagement; resource allocation; information assurance; securitysystems design; and other settings whose structure can beconceptualized as a system.
