CIMdata to Offer Workshop for the Systems Engineering Community

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - April 23, 2015 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that CIMdata’s Systems Engineering Knowledge Council will present a workshop on the topic of “Systems Engineering Supporting High-Tech Product Development.” The workshop will take place in Santa Clara, California the day after CIMdata’s PLM Road Map for the High Tech Electronics Community.

The workshop, now in its third year, will be facilitated by CIMdata’s practice manager for Systems Engineering, John MacKrell and will focus on the critical area of a systems-approach to product development. The emphasis will be on how systems engineering impacts high-tech companies and products. The workshop will explore the effective use of systems level requirements and work processes to drive all phases of the product development process from concept to retirement.

Systems engineering (SE) and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) are very broad topics that many companies are just now trying to understand. This workshop will focus on the challenges that companies adopting SE and MBSE face. It will help companies understand how to get there faster and with less risk.

Key topics for the 2015 workshop include: implementing MBSE for product design at real companies; how the relationships among systems, subsystems, and components are managed and linked to product configuration; how product requirements are structured, linked to the product design, tracked, and change-managed; the benefits that have been achieved from adopting a SE or MBSE strategy; metrics used to measure SE success; the breadth of deployment of MBSE within industrial companies; and the role of simulation in supporting SE.

This workshop has been carefully designed to provide attendees time to network with domain experts from CIMdata, knowledge council participants, and others interested in these topics.
