Abstract:
Why do we care about standards? An interactive discussion on the value of standards and standards development. Standards provide the foundation for engineered systems. They govern engineering methods, processes, and techniques. In INCOSE’s SEH is based on ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 which decomposes into a family of standards which dictate how we perform every SE function. Competitive advantage, global experts, supply chain, communications. What we call things and how hardware and software components should integrate facilitating time to market, product lines, and cost efficiency.
Where is ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 maintained and updated? The standard was updated in 2023 which also kicked off a series of updates to the 24748 family of document. INCOSE members have worked with many ISO and IEEE engineers to update the 24748 elaboration documents including a recent of ISO JTC1 SC7 meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.
What is the future of INCOSEs involvement in standards? A discussion on Next Gen Standards development and their role in ushering in the digital age, industry 4.0 and increasingly more advanced and complex systems. This will include a preview on INCOSE’s Standards Development over the next 10 years. Finally, we will ask you: What can you do to engage in standards to advance your career and add business value?
