Abstract
AbstractPilkington Optronics uses many elements of Systems Engineering and product development best practice. The company is now tailoring a very competent, but complex, Systems Engineering methodology to provide a “smart but simple” core method, useable at all levels of our business from complex sensor systems to individual components; and by managers and marketeers as well as engineers.The core method provides a consistent framework for communication between Systems Engineering and the rest of the company. It is compatible with the Thomson “MIST” Systems Engineering methodology, and consistent with both “Systems Engineering” and “world class product development” paradigms. These two paradigms are closely related. A business such as ours operating across the system/technology interface has to be able to operate seamlessly between the two.This paper reviews recent experience, discusses some of the problems encountered, and outlines the approach to a more integrated cross‐project cross‐discipline method.
