Abstract

Based on the RFLP concept (requirements, functions, logic, product) of model-based systems engineering, a function-oriented approach can enable a universal, data and model-driven knowledge management system for product development. Additionally, this approach can automate development steps and ease communication between disciplines. However, the impact of function-orientation on the established organizational structures remains unexplored. This case study investigates the effects of digital transformation towards function-orientation on the knowledge management system of a large corporation from a socio-technical perspective. OSTO® system model (open, socio-technical, economic) is employed to analyse and redesign the socio-technical system to observe the possible effects. The results show that the main limitations of the development department lie within the information and decision-making systems. RFLP-based function-oriented development can address these limitations, resulting in an efficient, universal, data-driven knowledge management system.
