Orlando Chapter

Welcome to the INCOSE-Orlando Chapter!

The mission of the Orlando chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is to drive success in engineering programs for engineering organizations in industry, academia, and government and drive up the capabilities of its professionals including top executives and practicing engineers.

We host monthly presentations offering a topic that supports the goals for acquiring dramatic speed, precision, interoperability, and innovation using systems engineering and other practices.

Our Chapter Presentations are open to the professional community in Central Florida (with RSVP). The event begins with a free buffet dinner as a courtesy to our guests and members followed by one or two presenters who represent local organizations. The goal is to share knowledge, techniques, and success stories to drive improvement in product delivery throughout our community.

Our meetings occur on the second Wednesday of the month starting at 5:30pm at Rocket Technology HQ, which houses our INCOSE-Orlando office, at 13501 Ingenuity Drive, Suite 232, Orlando, Florida 32826.

Presentation: 

A methodology is presented that is optimized for use by constituent system teams to assess the SoS safety risk. It does this by leveraging systems engineering principles to address the lacking aspects of the state-of-the-art risk analysis methods. This results in a more optimal safety risk analysis for all systems and elements involved in the SoS. This method has been applied to several projects over the last few years. The resulting lessons learned, which are also presented, led to a more refined and pragmatic approach. Recommendations of when to use this new method versus the typical methods is also made.

Presenter: 

Mike Celentano, ESEP, BSEE, has been influencing the Medical Devices sector since 1987. He has broad product development experience including, but not limited to: Systems Engineering & Program Management, Technology Management, Advanced Research & Prototyping, Engineering Management & Stakeholder Management, Enterprise Architecture & System of Systems, Risk Management, Reliability & Robustness Engineering. He has demonstrated SE value to several MedTech companies including Technicon, Miles, Bayer, Seradyn, UMM, Roche, Lilly and now S.O.S. LLC. Mike is also a founder of, and active volunteer for, the INCOSE Healthcare Working Group.
