Digital engineering leverages integrated models and data to support the entire product lifecycle from design to manufacturing to support. Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 5000.97 builds on these practices, aiming to enhance the interoperability, traceability, visualization, and collaboration of engineering data throughout the lifecycle.

The NSE MBE Maturity Index is a key industry tool designed to assess and define model-based maturity levels and capabilities, helping organizations evaluate their current-state model-based enterprise (MBE) practices and implementing target-state capabilities across various lifecycle activities.

In this presentation, we will explore how to use the NSE MBE Maturity Index to align with DoD Instruction 5000.97 and improve your organization’s digital engineering capabilities.

Key takeaways:

1. Overview of the DoD Instruction 5000.97 and the NSE MBE Maturity Index
2. Understand digital engineering and its relationship to a model-based enterprise (MBE)
3. Review the MBE maturity levels from drawing centric to model-based definition
4. Understanding foundational MBE capabilities within each enterprise domain
5. Understand how to comply with DoD Instruction 5000.97 using NSE MBE Maturity Index
