Capability-based engineering transformation – the periodic table of engineering capabilities

ABSTRACT:

The increasing digitalization and connectivity of development processes are forcing companies to transform their engineering comprehensively. The presented engineering reference capability map provides a structured framework for this transformation. The capability map is a four-level hierarchical model, contains essential engineering capabilities and is inspired by the periodic table of elements. Standardized profiles describe the characteristics and dependencies of each capability. The map serves as a reference framework for identifying gaps, potential, and development needs in engineering.
