Suitability of Model Based Systems Engineering for Agile Automotive Product Development

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Industrial and Systems Engineering.
Systems Engineering practice started in the 90s with aerospace industry. The motivation was to have a process for structural decomposition of a system during the design phase to the component level to reduce cost, risks, and errors as early as possible. Since then, the automotive industry has taken on the systems engineering practice. Systems engineering practice has traditionally used document-centric process in which after each phase of the design and implementation documents are created and then updated after changes. The major drawback of this process is its incompatibility with agile product development. Recently there has been a shift from a document-centric to model based systems engineering (MBSE). This work reviews the suitability of MBSE process for an agile product development by analyzing the effort required to create and maintain a system model in Cameo Enterprise Modeler using System Modeling Language as well as the cognitive system analysis of the project. EcoCAR’s driver monitoring system is used for comparing the traditional document-centric system engineering and MBSE. This work shows that MBSE performs better in an agile environment where there are numerous iterations throughout the product life cycle.
