A Holacratic Socio-Technical System Architecture (HSTSA) introduces Holacratic Engineering Management (HEM), a proposed new systems engineering and engineering management process model. The purpose of this research study is to determine if HEM arising out of the agile software and agile systems engineering disciplines, delivers on the promise of self-managing, self-organizing, adaptable, resilient...
Searching for and handling of information is one of the most time consuming activities within the development of technical products. It is often unclear which information is available and its quality is questionable especially due to document based information handling. Inconsistencies, redundancies and discipline specific documents are reasons for that. The problem increases in the early design stages...
The present paper focuses on the model-based systems engineering of a battery electric vehicle called FReDy with intelligent chassis systems. This research vehicle is equipped with two electric drives on the rear axle that are positioned close to the wheels. FReDy combines electric traction with an intelligent chassis consisting of four independent active wheel modules and is a fully active electric...
The engineering of complex systems and systems of systems (SoS) often leads to complex and very-time consuming modelling tasks (MTs). MTs can be distributed in several autonomous and heterogeneous places, a place being a set of stakeholders and their practices. An issue is to mastering MTs while taking into account the constraints of their large complex engineering environments (LCEE). A step toward...
Systems of Systems (SoS) are complex systems that result from the integration of a set of independent constituent systems — which are complex systems themselves — in order to achieve new functionalities and goals. The emerging interdisciplinary area of SoS and Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is largely driven by stakeholders' goals and needs. In addition, Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering...
Recent advances in manufacturing industry has led the way for the most frequently discussed topic among practitioners and academics which is cyber physical systems (CPSs). Design process of cyber physical reconfigurable systems (CPRSs) operating in a dynamic environment is a significant challenge when a meaningful coordination of tasks between human to machine and machine to machine is required. This...
Variant exploration is often construed as synonymous with a significant increase in work and a decrease in clarity. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has been heralded as a potential solution to streamline the process by supporting exploration of numerous parallel variants within a common multidimensional model. Successful decoupling of variants from their surroundings supports the parallel development...
The design of a flywheel system for energy storage is herein performed through the Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) as an example of mechatronic product development and innovation. Some relevant advantages of the MBSE applied to a material mechatronic system, in some activities, as the requirement analysis, the identification of system capabilities, the definition of architecture and the system...
In this paper, we propose a systems engineering approach for the analysis of reconfigurable manufacturing systems. This work contributes in the implementation of the systems engineering perception in industry 4.0 researches framework. The approach is based on interoperability concept in order to correlate diverse requirements as input for the analysis, and generate a result based on reconfigurability...
This paper describes an investigation of the effectiveness of mandatory training for a sub-population of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition workforce members. The target population includes those who have participated in the Systems Planning, Research, Development, and Engineering career field training per the direction of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). An outcome-based...
This paper describes how dominant theories relating to outcome-based learning and workforce competency were synthesized into a singular outcome-based competency model to address a general problem of ineffectual training evaluation. A baseline model was developed using leading theories from the academic literature pertaining to competencies for systems engineers across three categories: cognitive,...
Capella is a system engineering public domain tool which has been recently released by THALES. It is a model based systems engineering tool that implements the Architecture Analysis & Design Integrated Approach (ARCADIA) framework. This paper proposes a process specification, design and optimization of a distributed avionics system. Capella is used as a design tool for Distributed Integrated Modular...
