The System Specification is produced by the Conceptual
Design process of the systems engineering lifecycle and forms the
basis of the Functional Baseline. The System Specification
describes the system's functional architecture.
The System Specification is
perhaps the most important of all systems engineering documents as
it is the source of reference for all future work
and documentation. If complete, unambiguous, etc, it stands the remaining
effort in good stead; if not, errors, omissions, conflicts and
so on will now start flowing into the following systems
engineering stages. The later these problems are discovered, the more
expensive and less likely the rectification
