Meta Systems Engineering Management Plan for a Digital Startup Manufacturing Facility

To thrive in the marketplace, startups need a clear plan to either develop or acquire and integrate a system of systems or a system of interest that solves client problems and generates market excitement, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors.The focus is on grasping key concepts like systems engineering, Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), systems of interest, the Vee model, and various frameworks, and then linking these concepts to uncover commonalities and new insights.This scholarly activity aimed to synthesize two life cycle models (INCOSE and DOT), one digital transformation framework (Deloitte), and one management plan (DOD) to provide insight into creating a management plan for both classified and commercial products.The insights gained will lay a foundation for future enterprise architecture.Combining the DOD systems engineering management plan, INCOSE and DOT Vee models, and Deloitte's digital transformation model resulted in a meta-model that highlights the roles of engineers, managers, and entrepreneurs throughout each production stage.This metamodel also encourages startup stakeholders to take on two or more of the outlined roles in the systems plan.The meta-model offers startups a clear roadmap for confidently developing products and services, even amidst fluctuating economic conditions such as budget, time, and resource constraints.The roadmap is applicable across commercial, private, public, and government sectors, and the meta-model also provides systems engineers with guidance on effectively using modeling tools (MBSE) like SysML, Modelica, and Modelio to demonstrate system requirements.
