Capability Engineering ett alternativ till Systems Engineering: Svensk stridsfordonsindustri (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This thesis aims to look at ways capability engineering can be introduced to the Swedish combat vehicle industry, as well as to identify success factors for capability engineering. In this thesis, a case study methodology has been used. Where one case was BAE Systems Hägglunds selling new combat vehicles to Norway. While the other case researched was when the Swedish defense material administration purchased an upgrade from BAE Systems Hägglunds known as forward-mountedgrenade launchers. The two case studies, interviews, and document reviews were conducted to come up with success factors and recommendations on how capability engineering can be introduced. The main conclusion is that trust, complexity, knowledge base of the customer, and project size are the main success factors to work with. A series of recommendations on what to do in order for capability engineering to easier be implemented in the Swedish combat vehicle industry and four success factors for capability engineering are presented in the conclusions.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur capability engineering kan introduceras till den svenska stridsfordonsindustrin, samt att identifiera framgångsfaktorer för capability engineering. I arbetet har en fallstudiemetodik använts. Ett av fallen avser BAE Systems Hägglunds försäljning av nya stridsfordon till Norge. Det andra fallet är Försvarets Materialverks köp av en uppgradering känd som fordonsmonterade granatkastare, levererad av BAE Systems Hägglunds. Dessa två fallstudier, en rad intervjuer samt informationshämtning genom dokumentationsundersökning, har genomförts för att identifiera framgångsfaktorer och rekommendationer rörande hur capability engineering kan tas i bruk.

Huvudslutsatsen är att de framgångsfaktorer som är viktigast att arbeta med är förtroende, komplexitet, kundens kunskapsbas samt projektstorlek. I slutsatserna presenteras också en radrekommendationer avseende vad som kan göras för att capability engineering lättare ska kunna implementeras i den svenska stridsfordonsindustrin.
