Reuse in Industrial Engineering (GDES-Reuse)

Current process reference models do not explicitley consider reuse in a comprehensive way. Typically, in a systems engineering context, an organization must be capable to invent reusable artificats but must also be capable to systematically reuse these artifacts during the development of systems or individual solutions. The aim of the project is to develop a method that facilitates the assessment of engineering departments or companies regarding reusability. The emphasis is not only on developing and testing an assessment method that allows to classify engineering organizations accordinig to their reusability maturity, but also to develop a methodological framework to enhance the reusability maturity of an engineering organization.
