SSE Session at ASEC 2013

The Group

INCOSE UK has recently created the Service Systems Engineering Working Group that will actively investigate the application of established systems engineering methodologies to the procurement, development and provision of service-based products. We have defined Service as something you can't drop on your foot.

We believe that each engineering project can be placed within a spectrum of characteristics that has pure product (a jet engine) at one extreme and pure service at the other. We will create a framework to enable us to generate advice on the application of systems engineering techniques to service products; particularly where circumstances dictate migration from pure product to service that includes product(s) as enabler(s). While the benefits of systems engineering disciplines applied to pure products are well proven, we believe that application of similar disciplines to service-based products will result in the corresponding benefits.

The ASEC Session

This 90 minutes session will include presentations summarising our initial achievements and intended directions, and will be an opportunity for discussion: we hope to take advantage of the perspectives and experience of the other ASEC attendees.

Please be aware that the focus of this session may change: we are still well within our formative stages.
