Marco Forlingieri, Tim Weilkiens, Hugo Guillermo Chalé-Gongora · 2025
This chapter is built upon a head-to-head interview that features as guests, Dr. Charles Krueger, CEO of BigLever Software, and Danilo Beuche, ex-CEO of pure systems and now VP of PTC. Before representing their product line engineering (PLE) solutions, Dr. Krueger and Dr. Beuche are considered among the pioneers and fathers of modern PLE. Their contribution in this book is crucial to understanding the origin, evolution, and future of PLE as a central systems engineering discipline.
