“…The respondents that make use of MBSE can get more funding support than the ones who do not. In order to understand if a centralized organization structure can help MBSE transitioning as systems engineering (Elm & Goldenson 2012) in Chinese industries, we ask a question if they have specific organizations for MBSE transitioning. We define five types of organization structures:…”

“…Bita (Motamedian 2013), Mary (Bone & Cloutier 2010), Schulze (Schulze 2015), Hutchinson (Hutchinson et al 2014) and Joseph (Elm & Goldenson 2012) proposed a set of surveys about current MBSE applicability, industrial practices of systems engineering, model-driven engineering practices and business case for systems engineering. Though these researchers present significant findings from the surveys, much work related to more detailed contents about Chinese industries, particularly related concepts about MBSE tool-chains, still need to be done.…”

Abstract.Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is an emerging technique widely used in current industry. It is a leading way expected to become a next generation standard practice in the systems engineering. Fundamental principles of systems engineering can be supported by a model-based approach to minimize design risks and avoid design changes in late development stages. The models can be used to formalize, analyze, design, optimize, verify and validate target products integrating engineering developments, organizations and products across domains. Though model-based development is well established in specific domains, such as software, mechanical system, electric systems, its role in integrated development from a system perspective is still a big challenge for current Chinese industry. In this paper, a survey from volunteers related with MBSE is taken by using questionnaires. The purpose of this survey is to highlight the usage and status of MBSE in current Chinese industry and address the rough understandings of MBSE concepts among system developers in China based on the answers about usages, advantages, barriers, concerns, trends of MBSE, particularly the perspective of tool-chain development.

“…The recent survey of Systems Engineering effectiveness (Elm and Goldenson, 2012) shows an interesting perspective on value; doing better Systems Engineering increases the probability of success. This result is emphasized when the complexity of the project is taken into account, where the difference in benefit between lower and higher Systems Engineering capability becomes even larger (figure 9).…”

“…The Systems Engineering effectiveness study (Elm and Goldenson, 2012) states that program problems occur because "managers rely heavily on assumptions about system requirements, technology, and design maturity, which are consistently too optimistic. These gaps are largely the result of a lack of a disciplined systems engineering analysis prior to beginning system development".…”

9.2.2 When “Yes” is the Wrong Answer

Systems Engineering's value comes from doing effective pre-work to avoid later, expensive rework. There are many barriers to uptake of Systems Engineering, including the difficulty of abstract and holistic thinking and project time pressures. This paper focuses on the time pressures, and the usual desire to show positive progress in any form of review of a project. This leads to a behavior where there is a tendency to say "yes" in answer to a question because we know it is the desired answer. Inappropriate "yes" statements to questions like "Are the requirements complete?" result in a tendency to stop the pre-work, and start the solution stage pre-maturely or with false confidence. The paper proposes as a heuristic that the Systems Engineer recognizes that there are implicit dangers in answering "yes" to many review type questions.
