What devilish detail might kill your grand design? An example of connecting breadth and depth

abstract We briefly look at some devilish details and their consequences. We observe that there is a natural tendency to either zoom in on details, or to zoom out for a helicopter view. We pose that it is the systems engineer's contribution to connect depth and breadth:
  • to help experts to understand the broader context
  • to help"helicopter pilots" to see details that must be taken into account
Later we discuss an example from the logistics world, a warehouse, to see how a systems engineer can make such connection.
