This research has quantified, through algorithmic sensing and metrication, the effective minimum management score required to attain competitiveness, otherwise known as the management index for competitiveness (MIC). The MIC is required by a System-of-Systems (SoSs) overseeing entity to competitively manage the complex network of systems that forms the heterogeneous SoSs cluster. Quantification of SoSs management is a scarcely researched field due to its extremely qualitative nature. This research has, however, presented an approach for quantifying the management effort. In a bid to bridge the research gap, a holistic and integrated framework depicting an SoSs network of 35 constituent systems in the agricultural grain industry was developed. The SoSs network was architected to show the complexities of the virtual and physical interactions between constituent systems. Furthermore, a quantitative mechanism via the Hybrid Structural Interaction Matrix (HSIM) concept was deployed. This was done so that instead of improving the overall management competitiveness through trial-and-error approaches, the priority systems can be identified and measured that will increase the overall competitiveness the most. From this, it was realised that the MIC herein is 0.50. The study also aimed to create specific rules that govern each level of competitiveness (by reflecting the necessary actions to be carried out and adhered to in order to maintain or enhance the competitiveness level). These governing rules are presented in a rules-like rubric format.
