10 Ways to Improve Systems Engineering

Most SE failures aren't caused by wrong tools — they're caused by wrong practices. Dr. David Akehurst distills years of field experience into ten concrete, actionable improvements that transform how engineering teams specify, model and deliver complex systems.

  • Ten concrete, actionable SE improvements — immediately applicable
  • Covers people, process and tooling in equal measure
  • Grounded in real project experience across Automotive, Aerospace and Defence

AI-Assisted ASPICE Compliance

Combining knowledge graphs and LLM agents for automated process assessment: how to cut ASPICE preparation from 23 weeks to 6.

  • Two-pass consistency check: LLM reasoning for classification, deterministic rules for evaluation
  • Five specialized agent skills covering the complete ASPICE assessment workflow
  • Quantitative cost-benefit analysis for a 5,000-requirement reference project at Level 2

From SysML v1 to SysML v2

SysML v2 is not v1.8. This guide gives systems engineers a transferable mental model (not a mechanical element mapping) for making the transition with confidence.

  • The definition/usage principle: the one concept behind the entire SysML v2 language
  • Covers the 5 core element groups every v2 model starts with: Ports, Relationships, Connectors, n-ary Connections
  • Explains what v1 constructs like FlowPort and ProxyPort map to in v2, and what they don't

MBSE with Natural Language

The biggest barrier to MBSE adoption isn't tooling — it's the SysML learning curve. This whitepaper shows how natural language patterns and model generation turn your existing requirements into formal SysML v2 models, without training your entire engineering team.

  • SysML v2 semantics without requiring engineers to learn SysML syntax
  • Formal models generated directly from requirements management tools (DOORS, Polarion)
  • Compliant with INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook and ASPICE 4.0
