Abstract
For any transition journey, one needs a vision to get started; one needs plans to finish; and one needs a map to define a path for success. This paper introduces the next generation Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) Maturity Index that provides the map for success by defining and normalizing the transition from a document-centric, drawing-based business to a part-centric, digital, model-based enterprise. The aim of this paper is to share NNSA’s efforts related to MBE and thus help increase the pace of progress in industry.
The following colleagues and industry peers have contributed or provided comments to the development or refinement of the current version of the NSE MBE Maturity Index:
