Replay Webinar About our Speakers
Do any of the following statements sound familiar?
- Management teams, as well as the extended organizations, often don’t understand the value that systems modeling and simulation bring to the table
- Products and related processes are becoming more complex
- Embedded systems are becoming a significant cost driver
- Prototypes are becoming more expensive and impede time-to-market
- Increased risk and liability is perceived
- There is an ever-increasing demand for more stakeholder flexibility and choices, including products as a service
- Our knowledge about SMS, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and related domains is limited
In a CIMdata educational webinar last July, we introduced Systems Modeling and Simulation (SMS). The approach presented leverages a common systems engineering and product data model (Model-Centric Systems Engineering) encompassing benefits, requirements, platform, program, project, system definition, product structure, lifecycle, and configuration-management capabilities. These are key enablers to reach higher systems modeling maturity levels and, in turn, help a company to reach and maintain a highly competitive position within the industries it serves.
It is also critical to recognize that the surrounding ecosystem with its culture and behavior must be brought into play and linked appropriately. Knowledge about SMS, its elements, and how they are linked is key to make this a successful initiative part of the overall digital transformation of the business. This webinar focuses on the significant role a well-defined and executed SMS training and certificate program plays in improving the engineering maturity of an organization while helping speed the adoption of SMS and realize its full potential.
What will I learn?
- You will understand the development challenges leading to a simulation-driven systems engineering environment.
- You will gain an understanding of the role of education in improving the engineering maturity of organizations.
- You will learn how SMS education can help businesses in their overall Digital Transformation.
- You will become familiar with the SMS Training and Certificate Program offered by CIMdata and SMS_ThinkTank.
Who should attend?
Regardless of your current organizational digital transformation and simulation-driven systems engineering maturity, you will find this webinar to be timely and informative. It will provide helpful guidance on how to make use of education for SMS. People from multiple levels in an organization will find the information pertinent and valuable. Included are engineering executives, senior and middle managers responsible for simulation-driven projects, CAE and systems engineering subject matter experts and practitioners, and IT support analysts for engineering.
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
