Nuclear Weapons Mission Area Workshop: Strategy Enablers from a Systems Perspective
A one-day workshop was held on April 14, 2016 to explore Nuclear Weapons Mission Area (NWMA) strategy enablers from a systems perspective. This report documents the workshop and is intended to identify initiatives, based on the workshop exchanges, and catalyze these initiatives to enable implementation of the NWMA strategy using systems thinking and methodology. Topics explored include Model-based Engineering, Enabling Viable Capabilities, and Enterprise Decision Awareness. The morning of the workshop featured Dr. Dinesh Verma (Stevens Institute/SERC) as keynote and during the afternoon attendees participated in three facilitated sessions on the topics. There were over 70 participants from about 40 departments across Sandia National Laboratories.
