In the course of my master’s thesis I conducted research in the field of Asset Life Cycle Management (ALCM). Over a period of six months I designed and tested an asset decision-making tool at a case company. The applied methodology for the design of the tool is the design science methodology (Hevner, March, Park, & Ram, 2004).
A few of the most relevant challenges to overcome at the company were the following:
- A strong silo mentality in the organization
- No alignment between stakeholders in the decision-making process
- No reliable data across multiple disciplines
The designed solution builds on the lifetime impact identification analysis (LIIA) described by Ruitenburg, Braaksma, & van Dongen (2014), which objective is to identify “trends or events that might have a positive or negative effect on the remaining lifetime of the asset.” As part of the analysis a brainstorming session to identify impacts from all five TECCO perspectives (technical, economical, commercial, compliance and organizational) was organized. This approach is especially useful in a multidisciplinary environment where data across disciplines is hardly standardized for comparison. Moreover, the interaction between multidisciplinary experts during the session facilitates the use of tacit knowledge. Important tacit knowledge in this case is experience and intuition. This can influence a decision in a particular way. After the identification of lifetime impacts their importance was determined using prioritization. Multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a widely accepted technique that evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision-making in order to prioritize (Figueira, Greco, Ehrogott, & Ehrgott, 2005). Especially in a multidisciplinary context this is important. Criteria for the tool were established that aligned to the organization and interests of stakeholders, borrowed from the lifetime impact centered asset management prioritization part (R. Ruitenburg, 2017) and the balanced scorecard (BSC) perspectives (Kalender & Vayvay, 2016). In my understanding, the balanced scorecard perspectives in particular show how certain strategies affect the core area of the business, that is the financial performance, the customer satisfaction, the internal (production) processes, the organizational capabilities and compliance. In a second workshop the experts performed Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) pairwise comparison on the BSC perspectives to establish weighing factors and scored the identified lifetime impacts on all criteria. AHP is a powerful prioritization tool that can deal with subjectivity of expert knowledge (Saaty, 2003). Due to the discussion between experts in the session, consensus of scores was reached to a satisfactory level. Resulting from this a ranking of lifetime impacts and a visualization of the scores of lifetime impacts was shared with the experts. Feedback was asked in order to verify the results with the experts. After the identification and prioritization of lifetime impacts timely measures can be initiated.
Even though the tool was originally designed for application in ALCM to prepare assets for future challenges and opportunities, a similar framework seems to be applicable for system integration. First of all, the characteristics for asset life cycle management and system integration are similar. The interdisciplinary of system integration and the organization of technical and non-technical aspects in system integration strategies (INCOSE, 2015) shows that information from multiple disciplines (technical and managerial) will be exploited for the decision-making of system questions. Indicating that also in system integration information from multidisciplinary perspectives have to be combined for decision-making. In more detail, system integration is the process that “synthesize[s] a set of system elements into a realized system that satisfies system requirements, architecture, and design” (ISO 15288 Committee, 2015, p.68). It can be understood in the way that silos of system elements are integrated and aligned as part of system integration. If stakeholders consensus on integration strategy and constraints is reached early on in the integration process and integration concerns are shared between multidisciplinary experts on a regular basis, it is more likely that integration challenges are identified and accounted for in time.
Summarizing, stakeholders from multiple disciplines are needed for decision-making in system integration. They are used to operate in silos rather than in a multidisciplinary approach. Moreover, the stakeholders focusing on different system elements have conflicting priorities on which decisions are based, depending on their needs, expectations and constraints. Especially stakeholder alignment is essential to the success of the system-of-interest integration. A possibility is to perform expert sessions to manage multidisciplinary information, so that tacit knowledge can be used and stakeholder consensus can be reached. Besides, prioritization of decision alternatives by means of ranking based on system requirements could be one way of aligning multiple stakeholders in system integration for decision-making.

What’s Going down i am new to this, I stumbled upon this
I’ve found It absolutely useful and it has helped me out
loads. I am hoping to give a contribution & aid different customers like its aided me.
Good job.
Very energetic blog, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?
I think everything published was actually very reasonable.
However, think about this, what if you added a little information? I ain’t saying your information is not solid., but what if
you added a title that makes people want more?
I mean Decision-making in Asset Life Cycle Management (ALCM) – Integration Engineering is a little boring.
You should look at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news headlines
to grab people interested. You might try
adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers
excited about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your
posts a little livelier.
What’s up it’s me, I am also visiting this site regularly, this
site is actually fastidious and the people are truly sharing good thoughts.
Hi Dear, are you in fact visiting this website on a regular basis, if so then you
will definitely get nice knowledge.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if
it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My
apple ipad is now broken and she has 83
views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
This post is truly a nice one it helps new
internet viewers, who are wishing in favor of blogging.
Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Finding the time and actual effort to
produce a great article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and never manage
to get anything done.
This post will help the internet viewers for setting up new blog or even a blog from start to end.
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog.
I really hope to view the same high-grade blog posts by you later on as well.
In fact, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to
get my very own blog now 😉
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before
but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m definitely delighted I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking
back often!
Your mode of explaining the whole thing in this post is genuinely pleasant, every one
be able to effortlessly understand it, Thanks a lot.
Normally I do not read post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very
compelled me to try and do it! Your writing style has
been surprised me. Thank you, quite great article.
My family all the time say that I am wasting my time here at web, except I know I am
getting knowledge everyday by reading thes fastidious posts.
Keep on writing, great job!
I’d like to find out more? I’d want to find out more details.
