Products are built by designing, manufacturing, and maintaining quality at each step of content generation. Adequacy of information across the enterprise can be checked by software and humans. Software tools automate and resolve execution deficiencies while revealing errors that require human attention. New procedures written to take advantage of a digital transformation inside Industry 4.0 require persistent consistence to influence organizational culture that naturally resists change. Speakers at the 3D Collaboration and Interoperability Congress will move this conversation forward on October 15-18, 2018 in Golden, Colorado. The mix of presenters is as varied as any supply-chain team with whom you will ever work. Likewise, each brings a laser focus on real-life implementation challenges and enterprise accountability needed to get MBD across the finish line. Following is a sampling of what’s in store, with more to be found on the 3D CIC 2018 Agenda – also available on the 3D CIC mobile app for those registered for the conference. Creating an Optimized Culture for Enterprise Accountability: Applying the Five Laws of Human Motivational Dynamics How do we as leaders create an organizational culture that maximizes efficiency and quality throughout the product lifecycle? Three-Dimensional Annotated Modeling enables all team members access to a single source of truth. But… why do mix-ups and other roadblocks to efficiency still rear their ugly heads? People. It’s All Fun and Games Until the Other People Show Up: User Experience Analysis for MBD Success As engineers, it can be tempting to focus so much on the design and the technology that you lose sight of the people. But it’s often the people that make a process succeed or fail. Now we’re applying User Experience Analysis to Model-Based Definition processes. It’s one thing to have a shiny new MBD process and another thing to get all the teams you need bought in and excited about making the change. Organizational Challenges During the Air Force PLM Journey Let’s begin with the fact that the Air Force lives in an acquisition system that breaks the product lifecycle value chain and segregates business processes. With a multitude of necessary and sometimes unnecessary set of laws, regulations, policies, overlapping organizational responsibilities, and siloed functional stovepipes, it’s not hard to imagine this journey is still a work in progress. Navigating Organizational Buy-In MIT Lincoln Laboratory has been undergoing a digital transformation including CAD, MBD, MBE, PLM, and ERP. They have found that buy-in is critical at all levels of their organization, but each level is a micro culture requiring a different organizational change management approach. We’ll hear about lessons learned, successes, and continuing challenges. These presentations and many more are supported by our key industry partners. We thank them for their commitment to moving the Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise implementation conversation forward. Late registration opportunities remain for this event as of the time of publication.
