ABSTRACT The functions or roles of the systems engineering discipline are well documented in literature. However, the opinions vary with many overlaps and there is no focus on implementation of systems engineering based on the size of the company. This paper summarizes the results of a survey conducted across companies of various sizes that perform systems engineering to determine which systems engineering life‐cycle activities are supported, who performs these activities, and how does a company decide who should perform these activities. The survey data indicates large companies implement systems engineering differently than medium and small companies.
