Future Directions For Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

Organizations often find that their multi-disciplinary engineering practices are siloed and disconnected. This creates many inefficiencies, rework, and limited opportunities for reuse. The combination of PLM and MBSE can facilitate the integration of engineering processes, tools, and data to improve productivity, quality, shorten cycle time, and reduce risk in the development process.

This white paper examines how Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) are complimentary approaches that should be considered as part of an organizational strategy to address product development challenges.
