Bridging MBSE and PLM: Overcoming Challenges in Digital Engineering | EP 71

In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott are joined by their colleague Pat Coulehan to discuss the intersection of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). They explore the challenges of managing models and data across systems, the role of configuration management, and best practices for successful MBSE-PLM integration. Drawing insights from the defense sector, the conversation underscores the importance of clear standards, planning, and understanding tool limitations for optimal outcomes. Episode Highlights 🔹 What is MBSE and why does it matter? – How MBSE is shifting engineering away from documents and toward models. 🔹 The role of PLM in managing MBSE models – Why MBSE tools and PLM systems need to work together. 🔹 Challenges in integration – Understanding why PLM can manage MBSE files but struggles to interpret their internal structure. 🔹 Configuration Management and Change Control – The complexities of managing MBSE models within enterprise systems. 🔹 The importance of clear frameworks and standards – Why defining standards early is critical for successful implementation. 🔹 Best practices for MBSE and PLM integration – Steps to avoid common pitfalls and ensure a smooth workflow. Successfully integrating MBSE and PLM requires thoughtful planning, clear standards, and an understanding of system limitations. While MBSE introduces new ways to design and validate requirements, managing its data effectively alongside PLM remains a challenge. Companies should prioritize use cases, focus on authoritative sources of truth, and establish clear change management processes. Enjoyed this episode?
