Overview
The Forum on Integrated System Health Engineering and Management (ISHEM) in Aerospace will present a broad overview of the field with the objective of creating a "desk reference" document that can be used by managers, project leaders, and engineers as they create new systems. ISHEM is a term describing the discipline of health management for systems in general. It consists of the processes, techniques, and technologies used to design, analyze, build, verify, and operate complex human-machine systems with the goal of preventing failures or minimizing their effects.
