Model-Based Enterprise Summit 2020

 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) planned to host the 11th Model-Based Enterprise Summit (MBE 2020) March 31 through April 2, 2020, at NIST’s main campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The event was on target for another year of attendance growth, reflecting continued strong interest in MBE and the value of the MBE Summit as a center of knowledge exchange and learning for the MBE community. Due, however, to cancellations by attendees and to guidance from State and Local health authorities on the outbreak of COVID-19, NIST organizers were not able to go forward with the event.

The goal of the MBE Summit is to identify challenges, research, implementation issues, and lessons learned in design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and sustainment of products and processes where a digital three-dimensional (3D) model of the product serves as the authoritative information source for all activities in a product's lifecycle. The theme of the MBE Summit 2020 was Increasing MBE Adoption and Implementation.  There is no doubt that MBE requires a complex organizational work design that recognizes the interaction between people, skills, and technology in workplaces. The 11th MBE Summit focused on highlighting the organizational culture surrounding MBE, needs of people operating in MBE, and real-world implementations of MBE in practice.
