Model Authorized Product Realization (MAP-R) Analysis

Barnes, Gregory L.; Miura, Adrian S.; Moyer, Eric; Heiden, Siobhan M.

The Model Authorized Product Realization (MAP-R) project was a collaboration between Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC) to advance the Nuclear Security Enterprise's (NSE) ability to quantify the differences between the current drawing centric/drawing-based process and a part centric/model-based process. In short, MAP-R identified the key business benefits of the part centric model-based process using quantifiable data. MAP-R builds upon the past, but leverages current advances in technology, processes/standards, and the motivation of our current workforce to use a part-centric/model- based design and manufacturing method.
