Avoiding unexpected problems during the product development process is the overriding challenge in complex product development. Issues are most often caused by uncommunicated design assumptions, decisions and changes. The cost of late discovery and design adjustments can be cost-prohibitive. Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) focuses on creating and exploiting domain models as the primary means of information exchange between engineers, rather than on document-based information exchange. Integrated MBSE – bringing systems engineering (SE) inside of product lifecycle management (PLM) – enables your entire engineering team to start integrated and stay integrated, heading off any potential problems before they can surface.
Start Integrated, Stay Integrated

Abstract
What you get from this white paper
Benefits:
- Like building architecture, system modeling defines WHAT the product will do and HOW WELL to do it
- You can discover and better communicate issues now versus later, allowing organizations and their supply/design chains to start integrated, stay integrated
