by Gerrit Muller University of South-Eastern Norway-NISE e-mail: gaudisite@gmail.com www.gaudisite.nl Abstract Systems evolve from mostly mechanical or physical devices into multi-disciplinary integrated systems. This evolution takes years or decades. The evolution occurs simultaneously with changes in the markets and in the organization. We describe this evolution and illustrate it with a X-ray systems and wafersteppers. Distribution This article or presentation is written as part of the Gaudí project. The Gaudí project philosophy is to improve by obtaining frequent feedback. Frequent feedback is pursued by an open creation process. This document is published as intermediate or nearly mature version to get feedback. Further distribution is allowed as long as the document remains complete and unchanged. status: planned logo TBD

Diagnostic X-ray system 1980..~1980 many independent modules most Philips, some 3 sales: all configurations are possible system integration (SI) in factory many adaption boxes SI is mostly electro mechanical innovation elapsed time many years rd party (f.i.,10 years for new imaging chain) 3 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1980system
Organization in 1980 innovation departments Roentgen Electronics Laboratory Mechanical Electronics Laboratory Physics Technical Laboratory facilitating departments: drawing office; construction office; workshops 4 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1980organization
Geographical locations in 1980 factory and warehouse Germany France Italy R&D marketing sales management Netherlands road factory and warehouse R&D distance marketing sales management 5 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1980buildings
Staff in 1980 small teams 3 key persons: application senior designer cardiologist (outside Philips) application and domain technology implicit in most staff staffing mostly domain technology driven innovation departments Roentgen Electronics Laboratory Mechanical Electronics Laboratory Physics Technical Laboratory facilitating departments: drawing office; construction office; workshops 6 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1980staff
Systems 1985..1995..~1985 autonomous subsystems: Geo Acquisition Imaging X-ray generation sales: preferred configurations; arbritary configurations are more expensive system integration (SI) in R&D SW in all subsystems SI is is electro mechanical and configuration parameters innovation elapsed time several years (f.i.,2 years for digital imaging chain) 7 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1985system
Organization in 1985: Product/Business Oriented mammography surgery radiography most products: successful application oriented little synergy or commonality struggling with software URF legend vascular Geo Acquisition cardio Imaging X-ray generation 8 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1985organization
Staff in 1985 medium sized teams strong subsystem focus software depends on few good SW engineers (often with HW background) project leader is also system designer significant System Integration effort 9 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1985staff
Synergy drive ca 1990 Cardio and Vascular are merged. Digital imaging gets dominant surgery digital radiography radiography legend URF Geo Acquisition cardio/ vascular Imaging X-ray generation 10 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1990organization

Staff in 1990 matrix organizations within product groups: mechanical electrical software application and domain technology know how diluted software content is significant test and validation time is significant (> 1 year) senior designer ~= system designer 12 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1990staff
System: 1995..2000 Synergy Drive Common X-ray components (imaging, generation, collimators) Common digital infrastructure (workstations, networks, printers) URF CT scanner communication standard DICOM common digital systems printer workstation cardio/vascular MR scanner 13 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1995system
Organization 1995..2000: Additional Synergy Layer Common components are organized as separate groups: X-ray and PMS-wide product groups; application/market oriented cardio/ vascular URF RAD Surgery X-ray component suppliers Imaging X-ray generation common digital infrastructure supplier HIS RIS viewing archiving communication 14 Gerrit Muller FAIxray1995organization
