Abstract
Current approaches in Model-Based Systems Engineering lack of broad application in the automotive product development due to an unmanageable modeling effort and high complexity in system models. The paper describes a novel approach in Systems Engineering (SE), based on the systematic management of ordinary engineering parameters as quantifiable, relatable and traceable characteristics of Engineering Objects in product development. The approach aims for the support of a highly complex product development, by supplying engineering processes with the right information at the right time and by allowing traceability in implicitly generated system models on the level of Engineering Parameters.

Notes
- 1.
EOs are referred to as the entity of structured information represented by heterogeneous graphical formats, in partial models of an integrated product- and process-model [3, 4]. In the context of this paper, e.g. requirements, functions, elements, concept elements, systems as well as parameters are considered as EOs.
