How systems engineering reduces program waste and cuts warranty risks

Description

Round table

Many OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers still view systems engineering (SE) as a “nice-to-have” or an abstract academic discipline. In reality, applied correctly, SE is one of the most effective ways to:

• Reduce programme waste and delivery delays
• Cut future warranty risk and recall exposure
• Improve diagnostic readiness and lifetime product support

This virtual round table brings together voices from industry, education and client organisations to demystify SE in practical, business terms. Instead of heavy slide decks, the session will be guided discussion – short, punchy contributions, with audience participation encouraged.

We’ll explore how SE makes a measurable difference to cost, time, and risk – and what it takes to embed it in organisations that don’t yet have a mature capability.

Who Should Attend?

Engineering leaders / programme managers at OEMs & Tier-1s who lack a mature SE function or need help with people, process, or tools

Catapults, clusters & advisers who influence capability adoption

Anyone tasked with improving programme efficiency, reducing warranty exposure, or making diagnostics smarter by design

Why Attend?

• Hear balanced perspectives: client, implementer, and educator
• Understand practical ROI: where SE starts to pay back in the real world
• Learn about barriers & enablers: from leadership buy-in to cultural adoption
• Build your network with peers and experts in a candid, non-sales setting
