Design and development of an effective sensing and measurement procedure for tasks for system-of-systems Engineering Management in the agro-seed nurturing industry

Abstract

This research has quantified, through algorithmic sensing and metrication, the minimum management effort required by a System-of-Systems (SoS) overseeing entity to competitively manage the complex network of systems that form a heterogenous SoS cluster. In a bid to achieve this, a holistic and integrated framework depicting a SoS network of 35 constituent systems in the agricultural grain industry was developed. Furthermore, a quantitative mechanism via the Hybrid Structural Interaction Matrix (HSIM) concept was deployed. From this, it was realized that the effective minimum management score required for the attainment of competitiveness in holistic management herein is 0.534067.
