Identify which stage in the systems engineering process each activity is a part of. Write:

IA = Industry Analysis, PA = Problem Analysis, CA = Causal Analysis, DA = Decision Analysis, RA = Risk Analysis

1. Identifying the what, when, where, when, and extent of a problem
2. The use of management science and operations research to evaluate possible solutions to the problem
3. Identifying how unlikely it is that the fault will be detected by the system responsible --- design control process, quality testing, etc.
4. Organizing errors, problems, or defects to help focus problem-solving efforts
5. 10. Presenting the visual representation of the key steps in a process or a system by using specified Symbols
6. 11. Diagnosis of process deficiencies to track down the core problem issues

7. 12. Comprehensive presentation of specific qualitative and quantitative problems

   13. Identifying all possible potential failures of a product or process, prioritize them according to their risk, and set in motion action to eliminate or reduce the probability of their occurrence

   14. Preparing a map of the seven interrelated factors that influence an organizations ability to change

   15. Measure the amount of potential loss and elements of the system that contribute most to such losses

   16. Systematic thinking on important real problems to come up with better decisions

   17. Comparing the market positions of each firm separately or grouping them into like positions when the industry has so many competitors

   18. Use of linear programming based techniques to measure the relative performance of organizational units where the presence of multiple inputs and outputs makes comparisons difficult

   20. Highlighting both internal and external factors affecting the business

   21. Analyzing the firm's competitive pressures from suppliers, customers, new entrants and competitors offering substitute products

   22. Brainstorming or focus group discussion to identify the possible causes of a problem

   23. Evaluating contributors to risk --- from design, development, construction, and operation

   24. Listing down the advantages the organization has and its unique selling proposition

   25. Data collection and presentation
