Increasing competition in contemporary industrial settings drive organizations to unceasingly seek ways to improve the overall quality of their products and services, and the processes followed in order to procure them. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) has been put forth with promises to remedy shortcomings constituted by legacy document-based engineering approaches. However, for an organization to fully adopt MBSE, it must overcome several human, financial, organizational and technological factors. The purpose of this study was to elucidate these factors that are in affect for potential MBSE adopters clearly. In order to achieve this, research within the literature has led to the identification of a theoretical model that comprises of the most significant latent constructs that are in effect in MBSE adoption. The resulting technology adoption model’s explanatory power was evaluated in a quantititative manner via a questionnaire, with participants chosen from engineering practitioners in Turkey, who are experienced in the matter. The proposed structural model was validated and refined using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The resulting adoption model was developed that aims to explain the relations between factors that are in effect in MBSE adoption.

Plural: A decentralized business process modeling method Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) Top-down and centralized approaches prevail in the design and improvement of business processes. However, centralized structures pose difficulties for organizations in adapting to a rapidly changing business environment. Here we present the Plural method which can be used to guide organizations in performing process modeling in a decentralized way. Instead of a centralized group of people understanding, modeling and improving processes, our method allows individuals to model and improve their own processes ...
Interfirm relations and innovative capacity in Adana organized industry zone: a case study on textile firms Kavas (Dülger), Nihan; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2006) Over the recent years, the learning capacity and knowledge creation ability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been increasingly highlighted. Cluster concept represents as a geographical agglomeration where SMEs overcome the structural constraint and develop inter-firm relationships based on the trust. The trust based inter-firm relations increase the opportunity of SMEs to establish cooperation and competition linkages. The present study investigated SMEs in textile sector to identify the in...
Simulation modeling of shop floor activities for smes in virtual enterprises Bahtiyar, Mustafa; Kılıç, S. Engin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) The globalization of the markets and the worldwide competition forces the SMEs to implement new technologies and organize themselves using new concepts in order to maintain their competitivity. This type of temporary alliance is called as Virtual Enterprise (VE). SMEs seem to be appropriate units for building this type of temporary alliances when their properties (such as flexibility, adaptability and agility) are taken into account. This study is concerned with the simulation modeling of shop floor activit...
Soft Systems Methodology for design process improvement Bayraktaroğlu, Bengül; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2018) Organizations from different business sectors, which are certified by some standardization organizations, are increasingly prioritizing the process improvement to raise their product's quality. The process improvement in these organizations has focused principally on the refinement of existing processes to improve. This thesis study describes the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) for engineering design process improvement in an organization. In the concept of thesis study, it will lead to identi...
Industrial design and the mass customization of electronic consumer goods Kayğın Sel, Sultan; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2013) Mass customization is promoted in manufacturing industry as a way to satisfy individual customer requirements in a flexible, efficient and cost effective way. However, mass customization within the specific sector of ‘electronic consumer goods’ is relatively underdeveloped, whilst the contributions of industrial designers to mass customization remain quite unclear. This research redresses both of these issues, elaborating on the possibilities of mass-customization in the electronic consumer goods sector, an...
