Abstract

Technical systems designed with the ability to be adaptable to changes could be longer valuable for the stakeholders and thus remain competitive in the market. The system properties that provide value if modified in the future (Key Parameters) are the ones that should be designed adaptably. In order to identify the KPs of technical systems, a methodology was developed. This paper presents a workshop carried out in cooperation with industry to apply the methodology to a real system and obtain its KPs. The results of the workshop are presented, analyzed and discussed.
