Optimize system performance and lifecycle costs

Holistic systems engineering

HSI is a key part of a holistic system development effort, fully considering human impacts on performance and cost across the lifecycle. The human-systems integrators at Monterey Technologies optimize system performance and total ownership cost through the systems engineering function of HSI. This maximizes the overall effectiveness of the solution by integrating the HSI domains:

  • Manpower, personnel, and training

  • Safety, survivability, and occupational health

  • Habitability and environment

  • Human factors engineering

MTI has a proven track record of enhancing solutions for complex cyber-physical systems.

HSI elevates human considerations across the systems engineering process.

HSI is applicable to any complex system project

  • Agile or waterfall

  • MBSE or traditional systems engineering

  • Software, hardware, or both

  • Weapon systems, information systems, transportation systems, business processes, etc.

  • New systems, replacement systems, or legacy enhancements

HSI can be applied at any point in the project, though the earlier it is started the larger the ROI.

HSI enhances Systems Engineering

MTI’s experts support government agencies and prime contractors with human-systems integration across the system engineering lifecycle. We engage customers to understand HSI objectives and incorporate them into project technical plans; then we integrate with systems engineering and development teams to implement the plans and achieve the objectives.

HSI enhances the systems engineering approach by considering how the system and technology will interact to achieve mission performance. Our work ensures the solution successfully meets performance and lifecycle needs.
