ProSTEP iViP, Be Smart: Drive Systems Engineering

On 15 December 2011 nearly 70 experts from industry and research came together, to discuss and sharpen ProSTEP iViP’s newest project proposal “Smart Systems Engineering”. The participants agreed that time is right for such an initiative.

The event was opened with an introduction of the major findings of the latest market study conducted by ProSTEP iViP. The statements were clear: To apply systems engineering in industry, smart methods and tools are needed. One has to find and to close the gaps hindering a pragmatic application of systems engineering today. Smart collaboration standards are needed rather than creating another super-standard. Aim is not invent the wheel anew. Aim is to learn from lessons and benefit through innovative approaches. As Edison did before: He did not invent the bulb, he ‘just’ created a solution that works.

The ProSTEP iViP Project “Smart Systems Engineering” is scheduled for two years and will start from 2012 on. In the first project phase interaction scenarios between manufacturers and their suppliers will be specified. In an iterative approach necessary methods and interfaces will be elaborated. At the end demonstrators will be provided.
