Measuring Systems Engineering Transformation: A systematic literature review

Established companies are undertaking major transformation initiatives of their corporate structures and organisational forms to cope with the complexity during the engineering of cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). A frequently discussed issue is the measurability of this transformation progress. This paper conducts a systematic literature analysis of approaches regarding measurability of transformation and evaluates their application in the context of a systems engineering transformation. Measurement criteria are derived from the identified approaches, categorised, and finally evaluated by industry experts regarding their applicability. The categorised measurement criteria can be used to accurately measure the progress of a transformation process.
