In the Industry Sprint Workshop (ISW), participants
- Apply DSM and other Systems Engineering methods on a real industry test case
- Connect and interact with a team-building-effect in a fun working environment
- Compete for a small award
The Industry Use Case provided by a sponsor could, e.g., be
- Analyzing a system and designing a cost-optimized product architecture
- Analyzing a process and developing an improved workflow to reduce iterations
- Analyzing an organizational structure and re-assigning teams and roles to meet schedule
Prior Industry Sprint Workshop (ISW) Challenges
2017
Kone Co. Finland
Elevators
Analyze the KONE machine-room-less elevator DSM and suggest improvements in the architecture that could help in predicting and preparing for time delays and requirements creep.
2018
Fincantieri Co., Italy
Cruise Ships
Analyze the cruise ship incinerator machinery and food waste treatment system and evaluate the risk of delay associated with the process, and suggest improvements to reduce risks and duration of the design process.
2019
European Space Agency, Italy
Satellite Ground Station
What is the sequence and schedule to replace the ground station SW during the blind orbit of the ESA Cryostat satellite?
2021
Starfish Medical, Canada
Ventilator
Re-architect the product, process and people architectures of a 7 month project to develop thousands of ventilators during the pandemic and specifically improve the change for 2 specific technical issues.
2022
ITER, France
Optical Subsystems
Analyze the product, process and people architectures on the International Thermonuclear Reactor’s optical sensor subsystem in response to 3 issues in 3 different development phases.
2023
Volvo Trucks, Finland
Trucks
Analyze the value of 3 design alternatives / applications to a truck design, and assess design change risks while keeping cost, schedule and spatial constraints.
