Title: Product Lifecycle Management: The Salvation of Systems Engineering
Abstract: Many of the challenges faced by the systems engineering community articulated in Systems Engineering Vision 2025 relate to detail-oriented activities that typically occur during the design, integration, assembly, and test of systems. With advances in computational capabilities, virtual system prototypes are available that use highly detailed representations of a system's components and provide a means for performing the virtual integration, assembly, and test of systems and for composing custom designs of systems and systems of systems. This paper describes how linking systems engineering with product lifecycle management provides a means to address these systems engineering challenges. This linkage will allow systems engineers to increase the actual and perceived value that they are delivering to the system's stakeholders and provide systems engineers a pathway to more meaningful and relevant participation throughout the system's lifecycle.
