- New - A&D PLM Action Group Model-Based Systems Engineering Research Report of Findings: General Availability Edition
A&D PLM Action Group Model-Based Systems Engineering Research Report of Findings: General Availability Edition CIMdata, on behalf of the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG), conducted a collaborative research effort with multiple PLM solution providers to understand industry needs and opportunities related to model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The participants’ shared objective was to align perspectives on the topic and to have a meaningful impact on the providers’ solution strategies and the AD PAG members’ implementation roadmaps. CIMdata was responsible for project management and creation of project artifacts. The project used two methods to gather information: subject matter expert (a.k.a. domain expert) interviews and an online survey. The primary information source for analysis and reporting was the set of responses to the web-based survey. These responses represent a broad community and, as answers to a set of closed-ended questions, lend themselves to statistical analysis. The responses to each question are summarized in charts or graphs. The range of survey responses to each question is compared with the interview responses to that question, and any significant differences are noted. At the end of the report, summary observations are offered. Download the A&D PLM Action Group Model-Based Systems Engineering Research Report of Findings: General Availability Edition.
Founded in 2014, the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) is a premier association of leading aerospace & defense companies. Operating within CIMdata’s globally recognized Community Program, the group serves as the industry's primary PLM advocacy group.
The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group is dedicated to driving aerospace digital transformation through several core objectives and its stated mission is to:
- Set the direction for the aerospace & defense industry on PLM-related topics that matter to members
- Promote common industry PLM processes and practices.
- Define requirements for common interest PLM-related capabilities, including topics like Digital Twin and Digital Thread.
- Communicate with a single, unified voice to global PLM solution providers.
- Sponsor high-impact collaborative PLM research on member-prioritized industry and technology topics, such as MBSE and Multi-view BOM.
