TL;DR: This paper investigates the evolution of systems engineering using a framework developed for this purpose and concludes that the integration of a management-governed paradigm has become necessary to address new challenges as they have emerged.
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the evolution of systems engineering using a framework developed for this purpose. Systems engineering was conceived to deal with complex problems and has evolved to address new challenges as they have emerged. The field has made advances in design capabilities and the process by which products are brought to realisation. It has worked at the limits of what is possible under an engineering governed paradigm. More challenges that involve extremely large, complex structures and networks include problems that supersede any form of design capability. The integration of a management-governed paradigm has become necessary. At this point, it is critical to map the future of systems engineering as a discipline that is capable of dealing with these new problems or can effectively limit itself to more traditional engineering undertakings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of organizational factors on the communication of engineering knowledge in a large UK-based aerospace manufacturing company was investigated, and the findings confirmed that using tools to manage knowledge needs to be combined with addressing the existing communication barriers in order to enable a more effective DFM feedback to the engineers.
Abstract: Today, the manufacturing industry is under increasing pressure to rapidly develop and manufacture innovative designs in much shorter timeframes in order to keep up with growing customer demands and quickly gain new business. Implementing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) methods can help achieve this by integrating manufacturing knowledge into the design process early in the product development phase. This can prevent potentially known manufacturing defects from occurring and save costs associated with late design changes. The management of this process in complex manufacturing environments is very challenging as it requires constant structuring and feedback of data from production to the engineering teams. This investigation focuses on how the communication of manufacturing knowledge from the production data can be hindered by factors within the overall organization. The findings confirm that using tools to manage knowledge needs to be combined with addressing the existing communication barriers in order to enable a more effective DFM feedback to the engineers. This investigation considers the influence of organizational factors on the communication of engineering knowledge in a large UK-based aerospace manufacturing company, presents the findings, then followed by discussions for improving DFM Knowledge Management in the Aerospace Industry.
