The Holistic View of Model-Based Enterprise Initiatives (Bundle)
Model-Based Enterprise initiatives hold great promise. Yet, many have questions before taking action. Are MBE initiatives mainstream? How does an MBD flow from one organization to another? Are suppliers ready now? What more is needed than mechanical CAD? This bundle includes seven publications that present educational materials, thought leadership, and findings from recent research studies to answer those questions. As a result, all gain clarity on MBE initiatives.

A Visual Tour of the Digital Thread
The vision of the digital thread is simple. Understanding it is not. This eBook visually walks through the creation of a Model-Based Definition in engineering and through all its uses throughout a company.
Enabling Supplier Collaboration With The Right Tools
Many companies are conflicted about collaborating with suppliers. It is critical to spur innovation. Yet, done incorrectly, it can expose intellectual property. This eBook compares and contrasts several technological approaches to enabling IP secure supplier collaboration.
Automating Processes across the Development Cycle
Digital transformation isn’t just about managing a holistic definition of the product. It includes running, managing, and automating digital processes. This eBook introduces and compares a variety of technological approaches for this kind of initiative.
