This paper provides a case study on the use of systems engineering to create the hierarchical description of a decision‐support model for the tank waste remediation program at Hanford, WA. A commercial, off‐the‐shelf (COTS) icon‐driven modeling package is used to sharply reduce the model development effort. A database‐driven information management tool, used to describe the model functions, requirements, architectures and tests, provides the traceability and editing power to document the development with little added effort.
