‘Technology Lifecycle Management’
The Systems Engineering Innovation Centre, Loughborough
The successful integration of technologies ? old, new and emerging ? is a challenge faced by many industries from across all sectors. The development of processes and methodologies capable of enabling technology transition is key to the successful development of systems capable of evolving in functionality and adapting to changing requirements.
Systems engineering provides the processes, methodologies and toolsets for developing best practice that will enable industries to enhance their forecasting capabilities as well as their respective technology insertion planning process. 
This event is presented by INCOSE in association with:
- The UK’s Integrated Products Manufacturing Knowledge Transfer Network (IPMKTN)
- The Centre of Excellence in Metrology for Micro and Nano Technologies (CEMMNT)
- The Systems Engineering Innovation Centre (SEIC).
This one-day event will help initiate a debate on how systems engineering can help to:
- Better identify emerging technologies and facilitate their insertion into products and services in a way that is minimally disruptive and optimally beneficial.
- Determine the probable life cycles of emerging technologies and exploring ways to:
- utilize maturing technologies effectively and efficiently over their useful life cycle;
- disengage from or replace obsolescing technologies at an optimal point for a given service or product instantiation or aspect of a system, and;
- dispose of obsolescent technologies in a manner beneficial to all stakeholders.
The event will be of benefit to more experienced Systems Engineering or those familiar with the problems of technology management in their application domain, in particular:
- Anyone involved in the development and integration of high technology components into product lifecycles, across any application domain.
- Those involved in complex, integrated project lifecycles; in which the integration of technologies throughout the life of products or services is a critical factor for project success.
- Anyone interested in the application of Systems Engineering processes, methodologies or lifecycle management techniques to a broader range of real world problems.
