Systems Engineering

System Engineering is known since a very long time – Practically it’s often just the management of requirements

Your Situation

System Engineering is only paperwork with very limited effect on further guidance down the road:

  • Architectural drives are not systematically identified (e.g. quality requirements) 
  • Systems engineering should maintain the idea of how the system satisfies customers’ expectations, but other engineering disciplines (e.g. software, mechanics) have their own concepts
  • Impact of open-source components is not analyzed according to safety requirements 
  • Number of variants and versions increasing during the development? 
  • Are new tools for applying SysML and UML in place, but differently interpreted within the projects
  • System integration test is not conducted, only the verification without relation to the architecture

 

System-, software-, hardware- and mechanical- development requires systematic processes to deliver the right quality on schedule and with the desired budget. Insufficient architecture can severely impact the subsequent quality and maintainability. These challenges require the advice of specialists who bring hands-on experience with system-, software-, hardware- and mechanical development.
