This paper describes the introduction of Systems Engineering at a medium sized company and the organisation set up to maintain this capability afterwards. The paper explains the context leading to the introduction and describes the steps taken to formally introduce Systems Engineering. It shows the relation between the organisation of the company and the way elements of the Systems Engineering process are formalised. The paper stresses the necessity that any change in the engineering practices should be shown to fit into the engineering process that is in place and to improve it, and needs a firm backing from senior engineers to be applied. Also, continuous training and review is necessary to keep application of the processes alive.
