Combat Product Complexity with Systems Engineering
PART ONE
The Challenge
Dealing effectively with increasedproduct complexities & demands?
2
What we‘ve learned from customers and research can help you.
Here´s what we have to share.
3
Customers require a broader range and selection of products
4
What customers want…
Products that are better, cheaper,
and faster
Which today include an exponentially increasing amount of software
5
As well as, high levels of connectivity
6
With more…Intelligent products
and the Internet-of-Things
with many more competitive pressures
7
and with it…Wider and deeper
market reach
Therefore, leading to increased organizational complexity
8
Companies needing to expand horizons … more mergers &
acquisitions
And inevitably more and stringent regulatory burdens
9
Federally mandated automotive recalls (NHTSA history): • 390 million cars, trucks,
buses, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, mopeds
• 66 million pieces of automotive equipment
• 42 million child safety seats
The negative impact of COMPLEXITY
10
Collaboration is tough without well-defined processes and tools
11
12
Related design artifacts can´t be reused across product lines which• Limits design reuse• Creates inconsistencies in product design• Introduces quality issues creating products that are more difficult & costly to maintain• Increases errors & redundancies because of lack of standardization with increased engineering,
manufacturing and servicing costs
Disjointed processes make early design validation impossible, leading to costly late stage rework
13
14
AND THEN...
Complete product designs are not manufactured on time, affecting time-to-market and
lost market opportunities

If this is your experience, don´t despair
THERE IS A SOLUTION.Watch out for Part 2.
