Abstract
In fields such as space, aeronautics, mobility, telecommunications, banking, or defense, systems are becoming increasingly complex, consisting of a network of interrelated and interacting components, with significant heterogeneity and diverse lifecycles. The need for continuous changes in product, process and organization in order to keep manufacturing business competitiveness, make these segments seek to apply methods to innovate and develop their complex products and services with lower costs, improved productivity and quality, and in less lead-time. This paper presents the integrated and concurrent development of a complex product and their performing organizations with System Concurrent Engineering approach that performs stakeholder analysis, requirements analysis, functional analysis and implementation architecture analysis, simultaneously, for the product, its life cycle processes and their performing organization at all levels of the product hierarchy. In order to demonstrate the System Concurrent Engineering approach and the methodology, this paper shows a Satellite Container (Mechanical Ground Support Equipments – MGSE) as example of a complex systems development.
