«Systems Engineering for Acquisition»: Procurement Workshop

SE 4 Acquisition

November 14, 2019

UC3M – Leganés, Madrid, Spain

“Systems Engineering is about coping with complexity. Systems Engineering helps avoid omissions and invalid assumptions, helps to manage real world changing issues, and produce the most efficient, economic and robust solution. The Systems Engineering process delivers a better understanding of the client needs and helps program managers to manage change and configuration effectively through the project life cycle. By using the Systems Engineering approach, project costs and time scales are managed and controlled more effectively by having greater control and awareness of the project requirements, interfaces and issues and the consequences of any changes.”

In today’s word where business and technological complexity increases, we see that less and less of the produced products and services are made by one single organisation and the need to better manage legal, economic and information boundaries created when one organisation acquires something from another.

ISO15288:2015 includes two agreement processes for acquisition and supply, but how good are we at managing this type of complexity? This is especially true when it comes to public procurement where strict legal restrictions are imposed to prevent unfair competition and corruption.

This event will give you insights on how to manage SE within a procurement framework and we will show how new techniques like AI together with modern tools and innovative ways of working will ensure that the fundamental SE goals can be achieved in a modern business and legal landscape.
