Ecosystems from customer to supply network
Abstract
Capabilities of interest increasingly result from interoperability of many systems. These systems of systems (SoS) form an ecosystem consisting of social and technical systems, e.g. they form socio-technical SoS. Each of the constituent systems has its enabling systems (e.g. the development, procurement, manufacturing, transportation, installation, training, maintenance, decommissioning, etc. systems), which all of them are socio-technical ecosystems. Developing new capabilities requires well functioning interoperability of many ecosystems.
The trends of increased interoperability, increasing number of involved systems, increased social and technical cooperation, and a shift in manned-unmanned. makes development more complex. Increased digitalization facilitates these trends. The same digitalization expands the number of involved organizations, systems and technologies; it increases the ecosystems' sizes.
We can see this happening in many domains, e.g. Energy where companies have been merging and unmerging many times with high expectations for digital shadows, threads, up to twins, similarly for maritime and offshore, and defense.
Questions of interest for systems engineers are:
- What is our ecosystem?
- What is our role in this ecosystem?
- How do we influence the ecosystem (how do we make it perform)?
- What is my role as systems engineer in this complex interplay?
