For the effective and efficient system development, it is provided of complex and diverse disciplines, analysis and design, points of views for decisions making, technical information management, assurance of products, and so on to be integrated and ensured. Systems engineering is conducted through a process and is implemented by tools based on relevant methodologies. Systems engineering environment should be provided to support the systems engineering process, method, and tools used on the project. In this paper, the essential environment in performing works in a organization applying systems engineering on the basis of system life cycle was reviewed. The present states on establishment of the systems engineering in Korea Railroad Research Institute were also examined with some reviews of other cases.

The emerging standards since 1990's can be classified as 'system standards' (process-oriented standards) and they specify the process of an enterprise and also apply to almost all industries regardless of size, type and products. Notice that the conventional specification-oriented standards present relatively clear criteria even though the structure, performance, and terminology are defined in text-based form. However, the system standards dealing with the processes do not present a coherent guide. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze them with the same viewpoint, thereby resulting in differences in the level of understanding. This study is aimed at graphically modeling the system standards originally described in text-based form. The study has been carried out in the framework of the PMTE (Process, Methods, Tools, and Environment) paradigm. The system standard targeted here is ISO/IEC 15288. Firstly, review of the literature on the systems engineering (SE) standard/process and on the graphic model IDEF0 was done, respectively, for the parts of 'E' and 'M'. Then the SE process of the MIL-STD 499B was applied to ISO/IEC 15288 as 'P'. Finally, the graphical model was generated by AI0Wins as 'T'. As a result, the graphical model-based approach can complement the drawbacks of the text-based form.
