Du berceau à la tombe: Analyse du cycle de vie de l'équipement

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Cet atelier est basé sur l'utilisation d'un modèle de coût total de possession (total cost of ownership) qui
considère, pour l'essentiel, la durée de vie opérationnelle de l'équipement et les services qui sont nécessaires pour garder l'équipement opérationnel et pertinent pour le propriétaire / exploitant
de l'équipement. L'hypothèse est que les exigences (ou la mission) définit par une entreprise pour un équipement changent au fil du temps et que la technologie utilisée par cet équipement change également. L’utilisation d’un avatar pour l'équipement et son cycle de vie “du berceau à la tombe” est construit. Dans ce modèle, des problèmes tels que le changement de propriétaire sont considéré avec les implications qu'ils créent alors.

A partir du cycle de vie “du berceau à la tombe” de l’équipement, vous allez construire un model de coût total de propriété basé sur les tâches que le propriétaire / opérateur doit effectuer pour garder l'actif "productif". Les tâches ou les emplois ne sont initialement pas attribués - l'hypothèse est qu'elles doivent être distribuées pour que la machine reste productive. Des propositions de valeur seront créées pour chaque travail et un cycle de vie visuel sera créé. A partir du cycle de vie, vous apprendrez ensuite plus sur la façon dont vous pouvez utiliser le modèle pour maintenir un flux de trésorerie important à partir de l'équipement durant la totalité de sa vie opérationnelle.

Objectifs

• Vous serez en mesure de construire un modèle détaillé de coût total de possession pour les produits nouveaux et existants.
• Pour être en mesure de créer une proposition de valeur applicable à tous les emplois identifiés au cours du cycle de vie “du berceau à la tombe”.
• Pour apprendre à utiliser le modèle sur une base de marketing stratégique.
• Pour apprendre comment vous pouvez soutenir votre entreprise sur une base tactique.

Pour Qui

• Les gestionnaires et les dirigeants qui sont responsables de la prestation de services, de la conception de services et du service après-vente.
• Les gestionnaires et les leaders dans le développement de nouveaux produits et le développement des affaires.

Cartographie du parcours client

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

La cartographie du parcours client (customer journey) est un élément clé du développement et de l'amélioration de l’expérience client, ce qui est essentiel pour les relations d'affaires durables à long terme. Le processus de cartographie fournit des informations approfondies et exploitables sur les points de contact avec les clients, qui, avec les services numériques, deviennent de plus en plus critiques et complexes à gérer dans notre monde. Le processus se base sur l’application rationnelle du swimlaning à la gestion des processus, y compris les aspects émotionnels.

Le client / utilisateur est le point central du processus, ce qui permet de comprendre comment les services de support aident (ou non) le client à atteindre les résultats qui sont importants pour lui.

La carte du parcours client vous permet de voir le monde au fur et à mesure que votre client fait l'expérience du monde. Nous planifierons un parcours client commençant et se terminant en dehors des limites normales du fournisseur. Vous découvrirez ce qui réjouit vos clients et apprendrez pourquoi cela enchante vos clients. Vous trouverez des domaines qui n'ajoutent aucune valeur - seulement un coût - et devraient être supprimées; vous apprendrez la valeur de la récupération d'un service et comment transformer une mauvaise expérience en une bonne expérience qui ravira votre client; vous trouverez des domaines dans lesquels votre personnel a besoin de plus d'autonomie pour offrir de meilleures expériences client.

Objectifs

• Pour être capable de comprendre et de recréer le parcours de bout en bout du client.
• Pour trouver des tâches qui n'ajoutent aucune valeur à vos clients ou à vos entreprises.
• Pour comprendre comment intégrer des contacts multicanaux / multipoints dans un parcours client cohérent.
• Pour être en mesure d'apprendre comment l'autonomisation de votre personnel peut améliorer la prestation de services, la conception de services et les ventes ultérieures.

L’Ingénierie Système Basée sur les COTS (CBSE).

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

L’Ingénierie Système Basée sur les COTS (CBSE) apporte des changements fondamentaux dans la façon dont les ingénieurs systèmes font leur travail. COTS (Composant “Off-The-Shelf”) peut être défini comme un article ne nécessitant pas de développement, qui est commercial et vendu en quantités substantielles sur le marché commercial. Des exemples d'articles COTS sont: les assemblages matériels et logiciels, l'équipement et les sous-systèmes. Les achats de COTS sont des alternatives aux développements internes dans les domaines militaires et commerciaux.

L'utilisation de COTS a été mandatée par de nombreux programmes gouvernementaux et commerciaux; De tels produits peuvent offrir des économies significatives en termes d'approvisionnement, de développement et de maintenance. Mais en réalité, les COTS ne respectent pas les mêmes normes de qualité que les systèmes développés par le gouvernement. Le défi que les COTS présente à l’ingénieur système consiste à utiliser ces processus d'ingénierie des systèmes dans un environnement où l'espace de la solution est limité par les aspects fonctionnels et physiques existants des composants COTS. C'est à la fois un processus de conception et un processus d'intégration. L'aspect significatif introduit par les COTS est que le processus de conception est maintenant contraint par un ensemble de composants préexistants, qui introduisent des fonctionnalités qui peuvent ou peuvent ne pas être requises par une solution de conception spécifique.

Objectifs

Les participants au cours apprendront à concevoir de nouveaux systèmes basés sur les COTS et les ajustements nécessaires aux principes fondamentaux de l'ingénierie des systèmes (SE) lorsqu'ils traitent avec des systèmes basés sur les COTS. En particulier, ils apprendront:
• Les principales caractéristiques et concepts du CBSE
• Les leçons apprises, avantages et défis liés à l’utilisation du CBSE
• Les processus et cycles de vie de CBSE
• L’ingénierie d’exigences pour le CBSE
• Le test et l'évaluation pour le CBSE
• L’ architecture, la conception et la sélection pour le CBSE
• Comment identifier et gérer les risques liés aux systèmes basés sur les COTS
• Comment gérer CBSE

Pour Qui

Toute personne impliquée dans le CBSE avec une certaine expérience dans l'application du SE ou la méthodologie de conception technique peut bénéficier de ce cours. Cela peut inclure:
• Les ingénieurs systèmes qui utilisent des composants COTS pour leurs conceptions.
• Les fournisseurs qui produisent et fournissent des composants COTS (matériels et logiciels).
• Les gestionnaires de programmes et de projets qui utilisent ou envisagent d'utiliser des composants COTS.
• Les professionnels gouvernementaux / militaires / commerciaux qui travaillent ou envisagent de travailler avec des systèmes basés sur les COTS.

Cependant, ce cours est un cours de "Advanced Systems Engineering Design". Un cours de base ou une expérience en SE traditionnelle ou méthodologie de conception technique est une condition préalable pour assister à ce cours.

Creativity and Project Management

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Project management is a well-proven method to deliver a specific outcome to a customer. The outcome can be a tangible product or something much less tangible (such as a change management program). The customer can be internal or external.
What projects have in common is that they are multidisciplinary and team members have to learn to work together, they need to be both creative and disciplined, and to work to a common aim. The project manager has to steer the team to deliver what is needed.

Approaches are needed that supplement the science of project management with the art of project management. This will improve project effectiveness, efficiency and success rate. Helping the team to deliver the right outcomes in the right way.

Interviews of scores of experienced major project managers and leaders of project companies revealed that PM literature and training focus on the science or process of PM. While the actual result is insured by the “art” of PM.

Our experience is strongly in agreement with the need for “art” and the “science” of PM.

Company Results in like industries or divisions within Companies are 20% - 33% higher when the right organizational climate is present. “Healthy” companies increased their earnings by 18%.

Leadership style is part of the “art” of project execution.

This course is available in three different programmes:

• A One Day Introduction Programme that introduces participants to the art of project management.
• A Two Day Immersion programme that explores the art of project management in more depth.
• A Five Day Block Week, which fully explores the depth and breadth of the art and science of project management.

The 5-Day Block Week will run on consecutive days. The first day of the block week constitutes the Introduction Progamme, and participants may choose to only attend this first day.

The first two days of the block week constitutes the Immersion Programme, and participants may choose to only attend the first two days.

Participants may also choose to complete the full 5 days.

For more information, please download our full course prospectus at the top of the 'Courses' section.

Objectifs

• Understanding of the importance of both the art and science of project management

• Ability to identify when art is more important than science

• Ability to identify when science is more important than art

• To understand that ‘it is not just about process’; it is also about people. Ability to balance process with human factors.

• Ability to effectively reflect on both colleagues and one’s own experiences.

Pour Qui

• Anyone who leads projects.
• Anyone who is part of a project team
• Experienced Project Managers and team members who want to improve their effectiveness
• New hires who need to understand Project Management

New Drivers for Energy Utilities

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

While Energy Utilities ought to guarantee the stability of the power system, they are subject to severe and accelerated change, driven by global trends such as the:

- transformation of the energy system to carbon-free
• coordination and harmonization of system and grid operation
• convergence towards international electricity markets
• emerging sector-coupled, multiphysics operated system
• impact of digitalization

Digital trends, both in the form of utility-internal enablers and challenging external factors, are playing a significant role in mastering this change.

The energy companies’ ability to utilize the potential of new digital technologies is restricted due to the mission-critical nature of their business, a highly complicated systems mix and a shortage of technological courage by the main system suppliers.

What are the possible outcome scenarios, and what does that mean for the utilities’ digital strategy?

Objectifs

In this presentation, we will discuss the main trends and challenges the Energy Utilities are facing and their possible impact on the digital and data strategies and architectures.

These include:

- The main trends influencing the energy sector
• The role of digitalization for Energy Utilities
• Possible routes moving forward

Pour Qui

Self and Social Competence for Engineers

Prochaines Dates

19.10.2023 - 20.10.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

The Self and Social Competence course provides theoretical background and hands-on practical exercises across various “soft skills” topics that are pertinent to working in teams, especially tailored to the context of Engineers.

We all know technical ability is essential to every system engineer, but soft skills are just as valuable if you want to become an asset in the workplace. They are the characteristics imperative to building successful relationships and the attributes which empower you to make decisions and give you the confidence to manage yourself and inspire others.

Soft skills encompass a vast range of skills from communication, innovation, conflict resolution, adaptability, collaboration and motivation - all of which are vital in negotiating the dynamic engineering landscape. Yet, these are often overlooked in favour of technical learning, leaving many with a void of skills, and the opportunity to boost work practices.

Teams are complex systems, and so they must be managed as such.

Systems Architecting Intermediate level

Prochaines Dates

04.09.2023 - 06.09.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

This three-day intermediate level course covers the WHY, WHAT and HOW of Systems Architecting by teaching the following:

Understanding the WHY: The need for employing architectures to help cope with the overwhelming nature of complexity.

Explaining the WHAT: Architectures provide different system perspectives and are ideal entry points to effectively structure your information.

Introducing HOW: Modelling System Architectures using the COFLP Framework: Contextual/Operational/Functional/Physical/Logical.

- Top-Down modelling of Operations (Missions/Scenarios/Use Cases) yields clarity and allows for re-use of Functions;

- The Functional Architecture elicits Requirements: Functions = Functional RQ; Object Flows = Performance

- The Logical Architecture makes high-level technology and responsibility choices providing the means for identifying Operational & Functional IF

- The Physical Architecture is different in nature, as its elements have to match the Functional Specs which typically happens at the lowest level (bottom-up). They then have to be integrated taking into account all physical constraints concentrating on the optimum (co-)location.

Objectifs

• What is systems architecture and how does it differ from the system design?
• How does it relate to Systems and Holistic Thinking?
• What makes a good architecture: how many architectures do we need?
• What makes up a good architecture so important in the context of complex systems?
• Why are Interfaces such a fundamental concept in Systems Architectures?
• What is the relationship between the Operational Architecture and systems control?
• Can/should we develop the architectures for a system and its Digital Twin together?
• How does it help with decision making for an uncertain development environment?
• Why is it important to develop variants and provide variation points and how do they relate to the interfaces?
• What is a logical and repeatable methodology to develop architectures?
• How can we model the architectures? Do we need MBSE? Do we need tools?
• How can we ensure that the models are consistent and connected?
• Where can one customise the architectures?
• When is an agile approach permissible, when should you take extreme caution?
• How do architectures help developing the system for safety, reliability, availability, maintainability, and inspectability?
• Why is it important to separate the system’s (sometimes called “logical”) from the physical architectures?
• How do all architecture map to the others? Why is mapping a powerful mechanism in developing for complexity?
• What is the timing relationship between the various system (logical) architectures and the physical design?
• What are the main skills of a senior Systems Architect?

Pour Qui

Systems Engineers, Lead/Senior Engineers, Systems Analysts and Systems Architects.

Design for Privacy

Prochaines Dates

27.03.2023 - 28.03.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

EU law requires that controllers put in place measures to effectively implement data protection principles and to integrate the necessary safeguards to meet the requirements of the regulation and protect the rights of data subjects.

These measures should be implemented both at the time of processing and when determining the means for processing. In implementing these measures, the controller needs to take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, the nature, scope and purposes of personal data processing and the risks and severity for the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

In addition, controllers and processors are obliged to design the data processing in such a way as to prevent or minimise the risk of interference with those rights and freedoms and implement technical and organisational measures which take into account the implications of the right to the protection of personal data at all stages of the data processing.

We will focus on the following principles:

- Lawfulness of processing & Fairness of Processing & Transparency of Processing

- The principle of purpose limitation

- The data minimisation principle

- The Data accuracy principle

- The Storage limitation Principle

- The Data security principle

- The Accountability principle

Prochaines Dates

23.03.2023 - 24.03.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

This course will provide attendees with a solid foundation in the design of secure systems and products. We will deﬁne what cyber security means in a product development context and how it contributes to safe and reliable operation. To this end, we will need to clarify how security engineering diﬀers from traditional safety and reliability engineering and how it is embedded into the overall systems engineering context. Although the entire product life cycle will be covered, emphasis will be put on the design and development phases, as these are the most important ones from the cyber security perspective. We will look into how to deﬁne a product security context and how to derive basic security architecture principles from it. We will then proceed with developing security risk assessment techniques and apply them to the system under design, i.e. we will elaborate on how risk assessment outcomes will result in security requirements that will need to be implemented in the system. Finally, we will discuss how security properties of a system can be validated and veriﬁed, both during the development and after entry into service. The course will focus on dependable systems in order to emphasize the intimate relation between safety and security.

Objectifs

• Gain a good understanding of dependable systems and the role of security in their design and development

• Gain an understanding about the security implications of a system design

• Assess the business and project risks associated with speciﬁc design decisions

Workshop for Complex Problem Solving

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Solving complex problems is one of the most urgently required skills in our current time. As technologies become more advanced, the possible solutions created by them become more and more complex to understand, design for and successfully implement. This can be seen across multiple industries and is causing significant front line issues to reliability, maintenance, project cost, product performance and overall schedules.

In this one-day course a systematic methodological process for applying to technical complex problem solving shall be taught through an interactive workshop. Each stage of the process shall be expanded to include real-world examples in addition to various approaches for tailoring and applying the process.

OUR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING BASIS

1. Stakeholder analysis is a deep ongoing discipline. It is far in advance of simpler user/customer considerations, and a key to dealing with complex systems.

2. System and Project stakeholder improvement Objectives all can, and must be, specified quantitatively, and in enough detail to handle the complexity of the stakeholders. These quantified objectives form the logical and clear basis for judging all strategies and architectures.

3. Multiple costs, both short and long term, are resource constraints, that need articulation and must be used to judge and prioritize all potential strategies and architecture.

4. Multidimensional Analysis of multiple design strategies, against multiple stakeholder objectives and costs using a Value Impact Estimation table is a powerful way to keep track of very complex systems at multiple related levels of concern.

5. Decomposition of complex systems: we will show number of advanced methods for decomposing complex problems and projects, so that we can create a value prioritised stream of cumulative value delivery, for early results, for intelligibility of complex system. This is advanced agile engineering

OUR WORKSHOP BASIS:

We will choose a sample classroom problem to work on, possibly one which participants think is interesting or useful

We will divide into 2 person teams, who will work on part of the problem, and we will pool the results of all teams in one coherent dynamic model of specification.

We will use ValPlan as an app (but everything can be done in any word processor or spreadsheet) and use Planguage as a well defined free way to articulate ideas.

We will do the best we can to teach as much as we can in the classroom day. But we will probably only manage to sample 20-40 of the well over 100 specific tools in the books.

We hope that is enough to light your fire, and enable you to bring these ideas into your personal work and to share with your personal environment.

The technologies are all free forever, and can be spread or used as much as you like. Everthing is based open literature.

The methods have been used, researched, and documented, on small and very large scale at well known multinational companies such as Intel, HP, Boeing, Ericsson, Philips, Medtronic and many

others. Including several Swiss Banks! The methods are proven scale free, and they can be gradually adopted to improve your current systems engineering culture, as they prove themselves useful.

ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Stakeholder Engineering (digital book)
2. Value Requirements. (Digital book)
3. System Engineering Architecture (digital book)
4. Competitive Engineering (digital book)

Objectifs

• Understanding and application of many Systematic methodological processes for applying to technical complex problem solving

• Ability and motivation to continue learning more based on the included written books.

REQUIREMENTS – The GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY

Prochaines Dates

10.07.2023 - 12.07.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

Organisations need to establish requirements, regardless of their business methods or tool selections. Requirements have to capture the essence of what it is expected from the product or service to be supplied. To have any enduring value, requirements need to be managed and maintained throughout the project lifecycle to ensure that what is achieved at every stage can be demonstrated expressly to meet the Customer’s needs. The techniques used to elicit the requirements at the start of the project lifecycle and the quality of their initial definition have a proven influence on the success, or failure, of the developed product or service.

The objective of the workshop is to understand the key steps in engineering requirements throughout the project lifecycle and to enhance the capability of individual engineers to recognise and create effective requirements.

Objectifs

• Understand the key steps in determining and managing requirements

- Apply effective techniques that help at each step of the process

- Know how to write good requirements and how to avoid writing poor requirements

- Understand a case study as a practical example to demonstrate effective techniques

Pour Qui

• Project Engineering Managers and Project Engineers who are responsible for creating and analysing requirements

- Personnel from all functional areas who are involved in defining and agreeing the requirements

- Functional personnel who are responsible for reviewing requirements and participating in design reviews

- Personnel involved in acceptance activities

- Personnel from all functional areas who use the defined requirements set to guide their activities throughout the project lifecycle

REQUIREMENTS – Where Customer and Business Needs Meet

Prochaines Dates

15.05.2023 - 17.05.2023, Zürich

Descriptions des Cours

The effective Management of Requirements sits alongside the effective management of Customer Acceptance as the two key process areas that define our interfaces with the Customer and user community. They also determine the context for all the engineering activities on your projects. Requirements and Acceptance can never be separated as independent activities and they also have strong links to most other process areas. There is no universal solution to the problem of how to manage requirements effectively, however, there are techniques and methodologies that will help if used appropriately. The only effective Requirements Management process is one that is tailored to the style of your business and to your Customer.

The objective of the workshop is to enhance your capability to define, review, improve and implement effective processes for the management of requirements. The workshop will cover the principles of effective Requirements Management but will not address specific toolsets that may be used to implement the process for an individual project or business.

Included within the workshop are the following:

- Why requirements need to be managed

- The scope of requirements

- Where requirements come from

- What drives the need to tailor Requirements Management processes

- The classic problems of managing requirements

Objectifs

• Understand the benefits of an effective Requirements Management process

- Apply many effective approaches to the classic Requirements Management problems

- Understand the aspects of a Requirements Management process that need to be tailored to the Business or project

Pour Qui

• Project Engineering Managers and Project Managers who are responsible for defining the Requirements Management Processes

- Functional personnel who are responsible for engineering governance, assurance or process compliance

- Personnel from all functional areas who are involved in the business winning phases of the project lifecycle when the requirements are evolving

- Personnel from all functional areas who are involved in managing the relationship with the Customer and end user community throughout the project lifecycle

Compliance with the Swiss Data Privacy Act & GDPR

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Learn how to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) in this two-day course with data protection expert Hakan Hasserbetci.

From September 1, 2023, all Swiss companies must implement the new Data Protection Act (nFADP). For companies that are not already compliant to the 2018 European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), compliance with the new Swiss law could be a lengthy and complex process requiring inputs from legal and technical experts within data protection and privacy.

Therefore, with less than a year to implement these new requirements, companies must act now.

To prepare for compliance with the nFADP, the processes data during the compliancy period must be identified based on the risks involved and analysed. The more data a company processes and/or the more sensitive it is (e.g. related to religion, health, lawsuits, etc.), the more requirements there will be.

This course will enable attendees to gain an overarching knowledge of the GDPR and the nFADP regulations as well as take you through a definitive checklist to ensure compliance.

This is an interactive course which combines discussions, case studies, quizzes, and a final exam.

All course attendees will receive a Data Privacy handbook based on GDPR and FADP.

Objectifs

• Good understanding and comparison of GDPR and FADP regulations.

- Able to check and modify data protection statements (website, contracts, advertising content, etc.).

- Establish a data processing register (except for companies with less than 250 employees and if there is no significant privacy risk).

- Establish procedures for responding promptly to data subjects' requests (e.g., for information or deletion of data).

- Implement a data breach reporting procedure.

- Establish a process for impact assessments that are required when data processing is high risk (e.g., in the case of systematic monitoring of the broader public domain).

- Analyse contracts with subcontractors, to check whether data security is provided and add clauses in this regard.

- Review the countries where data is transmitted, including for simple cloud backup (these countries must be on a Federal Council list. If not, more stringent requirements apply).

- Have an overview of the tools and techniques employed by cyber security specialists when adopting technical measures to security of personal data.

- For all stages of the personal data life cycle, be able to outline the key elements associated with “designing for privacy” & develop security risk assessment techniques and apply them to the compliancy project under data protection by design and by default.

Pour Qui

• Lawyers wishing to improve their GDPR knowledge to enhance their integration within a cyber security team.

- IT Platform engineers wishing to refresh their ‘privacy in developing a platform’ knowledge and enhance their knowhow within a GDPR Personal Data compliancy team.

- Project and program managers wishing to understand how poor security processing of personal data can lead to unexpected personal data breaches and compliancy project risks.

- Business leaders wishing to understand their legal responsibilities to ensure how to get purely compliant by GDPR project team under DPO directive.

Hybrid project management

Prochaines Dates

22.11.2023 - 24.11.2023, Zurich

Descriptions des Cours

Scrum supports teams in successfully developing products. But Scrum is not a complete project management method. As a result, many companies use Scrum (or other agile frameworks) but also want to use elements from classic project management. A hybrid project management is sought.

In fact, "hybrid project management" doesn't exist. It is always a combination of several frameworks.

In this course, we work together to develop the basic questions and elements for the introduction of hybrid project management. In this way we create a basis for you and your team/s to successfully build up your hybrid project management.

Objectifs

• Understand the challenges in the combination of agile frameworks and classic project management.
• Understand the success factors for a hybrid approach.
• Capable of developing a procedure for the development of a hybrid project management plan.

Pour Qui

This course has a high practical relevance. In order to get the most out of it, you should have practical experience with agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, etc. and be familiar with the challenges of your organization in terms of project management.

- Project Manager with some agile Experiences
• Scrum Team Members
• Agile Coaches

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for complex Systems

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Systems engineering is focused on managing the development of a product or system rigorously to ensure failure-free operation, ideally for its whole life. Try as we might though, for many reasons things do fail. The complexity of many of the systems we design, combined with a complex and sometimes unpredictable environment, is such that emergent behaviour can have unforeseen consequences that have to be rectified. To address these problems we have to understand the root causes of such failures and in order to do this successfully, and avoid wasting precious time and resources, we have to approach this complex task in a structured way. We have to understand not only the technical aspects of the problem, but the political aspects associated with the involved stakeholders. The basic systems engineering approach and systems thinking methodologies can help us do that.

This course is presented primarily as an interactive workshop where participants get to solve a practical problem based on the failure of a real system. By working on an unfamiliar problem, the focus on the method is strengthened and its advantages are highlighted. An initial review of systems engineering principles that apply and an in-depth analysis of the problem solving techniques employed in these situations equips the participants with the tools necessary to address the challenge presented in the workshop. The workshop provides the participants with the opportunity to work through a real failure case and present their findings. The outcome of the actual investigation is presented and discussed in a final review that enables the participants to evaluate their own performance.

Objectifs

• Participants understand systems engineering principles that are applicable in complex problem solving.
• Participants understand the importance of considering stakeholder perspective and motivation.
• Participants develop an awareness of analysis methods and tools that can be applied in solving complex technical problems.
• Participants understand how to approach complex technical problems holistically.
• Participants are able to put the knowledge into practice and successfully identify the root cause of the actual system failure resented in the workshop.

Pour Qui

• Systems engineers
• System architects
• Project managers
• Development engineers
• Reliability engineers
• Quality engineers
• Integration, Verification and Validation Engineers
• Product owner

System dynamics

Prochaines Dates

Descriptions des Cours

Making the right decision in a complex context is difficult. We are able to understand and resolve simple cause and effect relationships, or causal loops, without too much trouble. However, in the real world these simple causal loops have themselves relationships with other causal loops and once more than a few combine, the emergent behaviour is very often complex and non-intuitive. The world is full of examples of seemingly simple solutions to apparently clear problems that then turn out to be more complex than initially thought, resulting in unintended and sometimes disastrous consequences.

In this course, participants learn to apply systems thinking principles to interpret cause and effect relationships in different systems in order to model them. A short introduction to system dynamics modelling software enables participants to initially build and simulate simple systems in order to gain practical confidence in the use of these types tools. Following this, participants collaborate in teams, with the guidance of the instructor, in an interactive workshop in which they get to build a generic project model that is used to evaluate the effect of a number of technical project management policies on schedule and cost. The gained insights are used to make a number of key decisions and recommendations to senior management (represented by the instructor) in a public presentation.

Objectifs

• Participants understand the concept of systems thinking and can apply it.
• Participants understand the concept of causal loops and know how to represent them for simple relationships.
• Participants understand that different causal loops can relate to each other and know how to represent those relations.
• Participants understand the issues associated with non-intuitive emergent behaviour due to increasing complexity.
• Participants are able to assemble basic causal loops into larger system dynamic models.
• Participants are able to simulate and interrogate a system dynamics model to gain insight into non-intuitive emergent dynamics

Pour Qui

• Systems engineers
• System architects
• Project managers
• Product owners
• Engineering Team leaders
• Anyone with an interest in system dynamics
