Do you have the Knack for Effective Trouble Shooting?

Systems engineers are potentially the best candidates for being or becoming good troubleshooters. The INCOSE Handbook identifies maintenance as a technical process. Within this framework fault identification or trouble shooting is included as a sub-activity. Trouble shooting is a form of problem solving that requires experience and often special skills like forensic engineering. George has some great stories about using Systems Engineering while trouble shooting.

Who said “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts”?

The phrase “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts” is well known and important to Systems Scientists and Systems Engineers alike. It’s like a short pithy definition of Emergence. And it is almost always automatically attributed to Aristotle. But what I want to know is this - Did he say it? Why did he say it? And in what context?
