The Systems Modeling Language for Products and Systems Development
By: Laurent Balmelli
Abstract
Today's competition and market pressure forces manufacturing companies to improve their effectiveness to design and manufacture products and systems. Across the product lifecycle, there has been a notorious lack of support to the conceptual stage, where the functional architecture (and sometimes the physical architecture) is decided. The conceptual stage succeeds the transformation of customer needs into product functions and use cases, and precedes the design of these functions across the engineering disciplines (for example mechanical, electrical, software, etc.
