The Rise of Complex Systems
After WW II, we discovered the ability to create complex systems by building formal engineering organizations with thousands of members
Complexity is a measure of the number of parts and the design interactions among the parts

Complex System Design = Superplan
• The design of a system is a set of plans– for manufacturing the system
– for operating the system
– maintaining, distributing, marketing, and more
• The design of a complex system is distributed across many minds– can be beyond any individual’s comprehension
– plans link minds via overlaps

Comparison to Good Enough Design Methods
• Example of Value Conflicts
• Visualizing Lack of Coordination
• Cumulative Impact of Lack of Coordination
• Formalization
• Symptoms of Problems in the Good Enough Method– Search for Knees in Curves
– Aversity to Technical Risk

Good Enough Method Fosters Value Conflicts
Brake Material + $11,000 - 90 lbs.Rudder - $10,000 + 190 lbs.
Net Impact + $ 1,000 + 100 lbs.
Differences in perceived value within a design team lead to choices that, taken together, are clearly lose-lose

Complex Adaptive Systems
• Definition
– Complex: Many interacting parts, complex interactions
– Adaptive: Patterned by a schema (design) which evolves in response to the environment and the system itself
– Autonomous: Emergent behavior, unplanned and unpredictable (ungovernable)
• Evolution of Engineered Systems
• Managing Autonomous Evolution

Autonomous Development
Managing Complex System Development is like planting a tree
not like building a house
You may provide resources to encourage fruitful development, and you may prune, or stop the development, but you cannot anticipate or force the exact outcome

Conclusion — Designing the Best
• Know Yourself
– Understand why one design is better than another• Clearly, objectively, consistently, formally
– Requires articulation of values (worthwhile exercise for $1 billion pgm)
– No need to search for “knee in the curve”
• Benefit
– > 50% reduction in cost, or equivalent improvement in performance
– Robustness in the face of technical risk• Reduced development cost and time
• Fully utilize our technical edge
