As engineering organizations transition toward model-based strategies, the ability to integrate Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Model-Based Definition (MBD), and the Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) becomes a critical differentiator. While MBD defines the product through precise geometry, annotations, and metadata, MBSE governs system intent, architecture, and requirements. MBE connects these models across the enterprise—from design to procurement, manufacturing, and sustainment—ensuring data is not only created once, but continuously enriched, reused, and trusted.

This presentation explores how these three model-based domains can be aligned into a unified digital thread. It examines how data must evolve across lifecycle stages, remaining fit-for-purpose while traceable through systems like PLM, ERP, MES, QMS, and CRM. Real-world examples, including a firsthand account of maintenance-informed design improvements, illustrate the value of closing the loop between usage and engineering intent.

Attendees will learn how a layered integration strategy—MBSE for structure, MBE for flow, and MBD for definition—supports faster decisions, higher quality outcomes, and sustainable product innovation. This session is ideal for engineers, digital transformation leaders, and enterprise architects seeking practical guidance on enabling connected, model-based product development.
