“…A first retrofitting approach which is independent of the type and model of equipment is highlighted by the authors of Baker et al (2016) [9]. The authors are mainly concerned with requirements engineering for the technology applied in the modernisation process of subsea equipment used in offshore deepwater operations.…”

Small and medium-sized companies increasingly turning their attention towards the fourth industrial revolution. In order to increase their own long-term competitiveness, there is a growing desire to make production smarter, more efficient, safer and more sustainable through new technologies. Often, however, existing plants cannot be easily replaced by modern equipment. The reasons for this can be high investment costs, excessive downtimes or the unavailability of an equivalent machine. An alternative solution to the purchase of new equipment is the modernisation or expansion of existing systems, also called retrofitting. Thus, this paper deals with the retrofit process of a machine tool, whereby the software architecture of the control unit is the primary concern of this work.

“…Based on this, Tranøy and Muller (2014) have described how understanding stakeholder requirements at an early stage can reduce late changes and cost overruns in the subsea domain. A possible solution is model-based systems engineering (Baker 2016) or applying configure-to-order methods to make more robust early designs (Falk 2019). Literature has also discussed related topics, such as managing requirements related to subsea power systems (Rajashekara 2017).…”

Requirements engineering is a constant challenge for companies executing complex projects. The oil and gas industry has been renowned for stringent stakeholder requirements driving costs. When the oil price plummeted six years ago, the industry had to adapt to make projects economically viable. Over the last four years, a major supplier to the industry has been executing three subsea production system projects as part of a frame agreement for a client. This case study investigates requirements engineering with a focus on cost savings. The paper examines data sources from the contractor and interviews with key project personnel. The main finding is that the contractor and client's efforts to simplify requirements have improved project efficiency. However, it has not been possible to quantify the exact benefit. Furthermore, the requirements engineering has been dependent on soft factors and collaboration during early study activities. This paper contributes with a description of a requirements engineering method. This is a collaborative method where the supplier adjusts the systems requirements, in close collaboration with the client, based on a detailed design in a very early phase of systems engineering. The research can also give additional insight into requirements engineering for other industries executing complex projects.

“…Retrofittability thus represents a superset encapsulating these four change-related ilities, explicitly contrasting versatility. One relevant application of the phrase retrofittable in the literature is by Baker et al (2016), who study requirements engineering for retrofittable subsea equipment.…”
