Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a PEMM system is implemented to evaluate performance engineering maturity, then performance engineering effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance engineering effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The PEMM system is divided into distinct functional modules: an input module for data collection, a ranking module for evaluation, a comparator for benchmarking, and a solution identifier for recommendations. This segmentation allows each module to perform a specific function, improving performance engineering effectiveness while managing system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The PEMM system integrates multiple functions into a unified platform: it collects organizational data, evaluates performance maturity, compares results against industry benchmarks, and generates remediation plans. This multi-functionality improves overall performance engineering effectiveness by providing a comprehensive solution rather than separate tools for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive metadata collection is performed to improve evaluation accuracy, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance maturity evaluation accuracyVSAvoiddata collection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects and stores comprehensive metadata about the organization's IT systems, processes, and performance metrics in advance through the input module. This preliminary data collection enables accurate performance maturity evaluation without requiring extensive data gathering during the actual assessment, thus improving measurement precision while minimizing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically collects metadata and processes evaluation data through automated interactions with the organization's IT systems and processes. This self-service approach reduces manual data collection efforts, improving evaluation accuracy while minimizing the time required for comprehensive data gathering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
