Abstract

Purpose – This research aims to characterise the landscape and factors for successfully implementing Systems Engineering (SE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in the enterprise. Research methodology – The study investigated the factors across different industries that affect the success of MBSE in an enterprise using a survey questionnaire. The research focussed on the uptake and implementation of MBSE in Small and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa. More than 100 industry professionals participated in the study. Findings – The survey revealed that SMEs have trouble adopting and implementing MBSE because they are unaware of its applicability and lack economic justification and support from upper management. Quantitative data analysis assessed how factors such as MBSE training, existing SE processes in the enterprise, and how long the company has been using MBSE contribute to the success of MBSE adoption in SMEs. Research limitations – The population size limited the study reached and the time available to conduct the research. However, it does not reduce the results’ strength and validity. Practical implications – The analysis showed that training and an existing SE structure are highly significant, while the age of MBSE in the enterprise does not correlate with its success. Therefore, these results proposed an adoption framework for SMEs in South Africa to aid MBSE adoption by incorporating training and a clear uptake and implementation process. Originality/Value – This research builds on the growing body of literature about implementing MBSE and enterprises. The conclusions provide valuable insights and guidelines for implementing MBSE in SMEs.
Mbse-lite:在南非的中小型企业中采用基于模型的系统工程的框架
目的-本研究旨在描述在企业中成功实施系统工程(SE)和基于模型的系统工程(MBSE)的环境和因素。研究方法-本研究通过问卷调查的方式调查了影响企业MBSE成功的不同行业的因素。该研究的重点是南非中小企业(SMEs)对MBSE的吸收和实施。超过100名业内专业人士参与了这项研究。调查结果显示,中小企业难以采用和实施MBSE,因为他们不知道它的适用性,缺乏经济理由和高层管理的支持。定量数据分析评估了MBSE培训、企业中现有的SE流程以及公司使用MBSE的时间等因素如何有助于中小企业成功采用MBSE。研究限制-人口规模限制了研究达到和时间可用来进行研究。然而,这并不会降低研究结果的强度和效度。实际意义-分析表明,培训和现有的SE结构非常重要,而企业中MBSE的年龄与其成功无关。因此,这些结果为南非的中小企业提出了一个采用框架,通过结合培训和明确的吸收和实施过程来帮助MBSE的采用。原创性/价值——本研究建立在越来越多的关于实施MBSE和企业的文献基础上。这些结论为中小企业实施中小企业创业服务提供了有价值的见解和指导。
