 | Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: A Systems Engineering Perspective Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Mathematics & Statistics; Mathematics & Statistics for Engineers; Systems & Control Engineering; Industrial Engineering & Manufacturing; Statistics & Probability; Operations Research; Engineering Mathematics; Systems Engineering; Probability; This book provides an overview of cost-effectiveness analysis, which is a well-known and intuitive method for defining and choosing among a set of alternatives. This book relates cost-effectiveness analysis to systems engineering to solve everyday problems at home and the office. It can also be used in technical processes, system design, and project management. Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: A Systems Engineering Perspective starts with providing an overview and background of cost-effectiveness analysis and how it's used. It then goes on to discuss cost-effectiveness concerning systems engineering and links its use to resolving military issues and problems. The book comes to an end with exploring the usage related to systems architecting, re-engineering office systems, and comparing its use to everyday life decision-making scenarios. Targeted market includes general engineers, systems engineers, process engineers, project management, scientists, technologists, mathematicians, and lawyers.
