Increasing customer demands, especially regarding functionality, safety and environmental sustainability, are major drivers of nowadays product development processes. Those increasing demands as well as today’s product development context of distributed interdisciplinary development teams lead to an increasing complexity of systems as well as their...
Validation is the central activity in product engineering and a means to gain knowledge about a System-in-Development. Especially for ADAS – Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, validation is of particular importance to ensure driving safety and driving comfort. Complexity and connectivity of modern mechatronic systems like ADAS demand for new, mode...
Validation reveals differences between created objects and their objectives. The increasing number of mechatronic systems drives the interdisciplinary approach of Systems Engineering for product
development and thus also validation. Complexity and scale of the individual subsystems of a system may increase to such an extent, that the system can be...
Industry 4.0 offers great potentials for improving production systems and processes, as well as the product itself regarding quality and time-to-market. The majority of research in the context of Industry 4.0 focuses on typical production topics like reducing waste, increasing flexibility or increasing lead times. The focus in this work however, li...
Abstract— A large share of resources in product engineering is occupied by engineering changes. High complexity of networked advanced systems is an important cause. In order to cope with high complexity, Model-Based Systems Engineering is seen as a possible approach. The Advanced Engineering Change Impact Approach – AECIA presents a model-based Eng...
The specification of requirements and tests are crucial activities in automotive development projects. However, due to the increasing complexity of automotive systems, practitioners fail to specify requirements and tests for distributed and evolving systems with complex interactions when following traditional development processes. To address this...
Model-based approaches such as Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) are widely regarded as a necessity to enable and support the development of ever more complex Systems of Systems (SoS). A key to the application of model-based development approaches in companies is the introduction of systems engineering architecture frameworks (SEAF) to structu...
In order to cope with the complexity in modern product development and still being able to develop products with high potential for innovation, MBSE-Model-Based Systems Engineering is seen as a promising approach. However, despite envisioned benefits, MBSE still lacks acceptance in practice. In this contribution, we derive ten fields of action to a...
The crucial factor for a successful usage of modeling approaches of systems engineering is the interaction of language, method, and tool. For this, specific challenges arise for the application of MBSE in agile requirements engineering. From observations in agile development practice at a machine tool manufacturer, the challenges for model-based re...
Growing cost pressure forces companies to actively manage their product costs to secure profitability. Here, manufacturing cost estimation within product development estimates manufacturing and material costs. As most products are developed in generations, needed product and manufacturing information can origin from reference system elements (RSE),...
Kurzfassung In elektrifizierten Antrieben können, aufgrund der Schwungmasse samt E-Motor oder der hohen anzugleichenden Drehzahl, erhöhte Performanceanforderungen für Synchronisierungssysteme auftreten. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Beitrags liegt auf einem Ansatz zur Modellierung und Bewertung der Beziehungen zwischen den Auslegungs-und Verhaltensparamet...
MBSE-Model-Based Systems Engineering wird als vielversprechender Ansatz gesehen, die
steigende Komplexität heutiger Produktentwicklungsprozesse beherrschbar zu machen.
Bei der Einführung und Umsetzung von MBSE existieren jedoch hohe Einstiegshürden, insbesondere, wenn formale Modellierungssprachen wie SysML für Modellierungsaktivitäten verwendet we...
More and more companies in the field of mechatronic system development are becoming interested in agile working. Although this topic has been researched for a long time, there are still problems with the introduction of agility. In this paper, a failed introduction of Scrum in a large German company is reviewed. For the investigation and analysis o...
Stakeholder demand for an ever-wider range of functions combined with increasing quality requirements, higher reliability, shorter product lifecycles and attractive pricing leads to increasing product complexity. At the same time, the products build on existing systems with verified requirements. By means of a targeted requirements management inclu...

Ever-increasing individualization of products with a constantly increasing range of functions and, at the same time, ever shorter product life cycles characterize product development processes nowadays. This increases the complexity of product development and places new demands on the development of suitable production systems. At the same time, di...
The assessment of risks and influences of engineering changes of a product or production system on affected technical (sub-) systems of the same or a different domain are of great importance in order to evaluate possible alternatives and to select solutions. The increasing complexity of mechatronic products and production systems with Industry 4.0...
Model-Based Systems Engineering Ansätze zur integrierten Entwicklung von Produkt und Produktionssystem im Kontext von Industrie 4.0
Die Automatisierung des Fahrens verändert die individuelle Mobilität grundlegend. In diesem Kontext hat die Entwicklung von vergleichsweise einfachen Fahrerassistenzsystemen gezeigt, dass die neuen, noch kommenden Systeme zur Steuerung und Regelung der Fahraufgabe auch neue Entwicklungsmethoden zwingend notwendig machen. Ein zentraler Aspekt dieser...
Validierung stellt das Bindeglied zwischen dem zu entwickelnden Produkt und den zugrundeliegenden Entwicklungszielen dar. Für eine effiziente und effektive Validierung müssen das Produktsystem und das passende Validierungssystem parallel und beginnend in frühen Phasen der Produktentstehung entwickelt und kontinuierlich erweitert werden. Die Entwick...
Shorter product lifecycles lead not only to faster time-to-market for products but also to the need for just as fast available associated production systems. These shorter product lifecycles, as well as the increasing individualization of products, also result in further decreasing production lot sizes. Young companies in China in particular are ch...
Although many companies today are aware of the proven benefits of
MBSE methods e.g. on the sector of coping with complex systems, they still tend
to limit the use of MBSE to areas where no real alternatives exist [AL12]. Reasons
for such a strategy are quite simple. Document centered approaches have been
successful in the past, but tend to be too p...
