‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 Wood for the Trees Requirements are valid Requirements are satisfied Requirements are traceable Consistent set of arguments and evidence exists Process argument The early Level 1 ELLP GSN argument

‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 Wood for the Trees Requirements are traceable Process argument Consistent set of arguments and evidence exists Non-interference argument Requirements are satisfied Requirements are valid The developing Level 1 Product GSN argument

‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 Wood for the Trees The developed ELLP Level 1 Product GSN Argument

‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 Wood for the Trees The Rationalised ELLP Level 1 Product GSN Argument

‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 The Evidence M’Lord  What is the evidence.  Where is the evidence retained.  How do we categorise the evidence.

‘The Application of Systems Engineering’ - Spring Conference 2009 The Evidence M’Lord Primary Direct = TC (Primary Direct) + Appendices (Secondary Direct; Primary Backing) in MWC EDMS = Secondary Backing remains with supply chain = Main Body TC contains Primary Direct from MWC EDMS Primary Backing Secondary Direct Main Works Contractor (MWC) Held Evidence (to TfL) Secondary Backing MWC Supply Chain Held Evidence
