Systems Engineering - The next Level of Product Development
OPPORTUNITY - Facts for decision makers
von Daniel Steffen, Sven-Olaf Schulze und Franz GauppInteraction and networking are the drivers of innovation in many
sectors: from autonomous driving in the automotive industry and
Industry 4.0 applications in mechanical and plant engineering,
to differentiating services that require a technical infrastructure
for the provision and billing of services. The consequences for
the product and service development are significant: the system
boundaries of the products and services are expanded – they
become interacting parts of a “system of systems” [1], [2]. The
term Systems Engineering thus describes the development of a
product, service or integrated combination.
