English abstract:
Similar to advanced software engineering, multidisciplinary systems engineering, such as industrial production
systems engineering (PSE), has to integrate partial results from
workgroups that design in parallel. Due to the heterogeneity
of data sources and the divergence of local data models the
exchanged engineering artefacts between PSE workgroups are
complex, making the automation of the data exchange process
in PSE difficult and prone to technical debt (TD). In this paper,
we report on a case study at a large PSE company to analyze
TD effects, items, and causes in PSE, focusing on the engineering
data exchange process. We identified key use cases and TD types,
i.e., TD in data models and TD in data instances, which have
adverse effects on project effort, cost and duration as well as
data quality.
