Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Seminars: Learning Why MBSE Is Surging
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is about linking together all information such as: customer requirements, concepts and general ideas, project plans, first implementations of the hardware, software and mechanics, and the testing view of the project.
This information can then be shared across the team so that all stakeholders have complete insight into the project. Using models just makes the dissemination of the information that much easier.
MBSE has essentially become the glue that holds together all of the different engineering domains and other relevant stakeholders.
According to the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), the movement from document-based to model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is an industry trend.
And while MBSE is not a panacea for all of an organization’s issues, it is a proven approach for improving productivity because it’s a single system model that is authoritative, durable and unambiguous. MBSE also promotes communication, produces more seamless gate transitions, and documents/charts are generated from the mode, which reduces time and the expense of making slides from gate reviews.
MBSE is also well-known for improving quality, reducing risk and addressing complexity by enabling a system model to be viewed from multiple perspectives, and to analyze the impact of changes. Complexity is often the root cause of systems engineering challenges. By using MBSE’s visual representation of the system, relationships between different parts of the system are easier to see and manage.
A common misconception about MBSE is that it replaces traditional systems engineering. It does not. It’s more like MBSE formalizes part of systems engineering. MBSE combines traditional methods and best practices with rigorous modeling techniques.
The MBSE approach can be a little difficult initially. But many potential modeling problems can be avoided by following these tips:
· As you develop your model, verify it. By doing this you reduce risk, help ensure quality and reduce long-term costs.
· Assumptions should be documented. Remember, all models are an approximation of reality. Assumptions of what you include in the model and as importantly, what you exclude are critical.
· Define the system context. The context is essentially the scope of your design or project. This context defines the “top” from which you will decompose the requirements, actions and assets that make up the system.
· Your model should be calibrated. If you try to extrapolate beyond where you have data to calibrate the model, the model will lie to you. Work with subject matter experts to insure the models predict things they expect.
· Support the V&V process. It’s critical that models support Verification and Validation (V&V). Results of the V&V process can be used to further refine and calibrate the model for the next time you need it.
