Our Mission...Strategic management consulting for competitive advantage in global markets

CIMdata is the leading independent global strategic management consulting

and research authority focused exclusively on the PLM market.

We are dedicated to maximizing our clients’ ability to design and deliverinnovative products and services through the application of PLM.


Regardless of what we call the process, digitalization and systems complexity will continue to profoundly affect the way we do product design, development & sustainment

Multiple digital threads will evolve in organizations based on the business requirements and specific application use cases

Product innovation platforms will need to be open and flexible to enable the “digital thread/digital twin” vision

Technology is the least important issue – organizational culture, process change, standards, and people skills will be the gating factors to successful business adoption and financial ROI

Key TakeawaysDigitalization, PLM, MBx, and the Digital Thread: Where do we go from here?


Digitalization: the administration of digitalis (used to treat congestive heart failure) until the desired physiological adjustment is attained—Merriam-Webster

Digitalization: the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide new revenue and value-producing opportunities; it is the process of moving to a digital business—Gartner

First, A Definition: “Digitalization” Let’s first get a few things straight

I think we should go with the second definition…


Significant electronics & software content

New processes & materials—lighter, stronger, green

Consumers demand “mass customized” products with all the latest technological features… Now!

Shorter lifecycles = continuous product innovation

“IoT” environment = constant market feedback

Complexity = Risk, Digitalization = Opportunity Business Success now requires a Model-Based Systems Engineering approach

Complex market requirements demand more upfront cross-domain engineering

Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) – “the formalized application of modeling to support system requirements, design, analysis, verification and validation activities beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later life cycle phases.”

Model‐Based Engineering (MBE) – Integrated use of models to define the system technical baseline across the full life cycle, across all disciplines, across all program members [models are the authoritative definition of the system]

Model‐Based Enterprise (MBE) – “a vision to transform an enterprise’s engineering, manufacturing, and aftermarket services through product data reuse and derived context, rather than interpreting inputs and recreating the models and drawings.”

Model-Based Definition (MBD) – The practice of using 3D models (i.e., solid models, 3D PMI and associated metadata) within 3D CAD software to define (provide specifications for) individual components and product assemblies.

Model-Based Design (MBD) – “A mathematical and visual method of addressing problems associated with designing complex control, signal processing and communication systems as applied in the design of embedded software.”

“Sewing the Digital Thread”


Digital Thread is the creation and use of cross-domain common digital surrogates of a system to allow dynamic, real-time assessment of the system’s current and future capabilities to inform decisions throughout the entire life cycle

Digital surrogate (i.e., the digital twin) is a physics-based description of the system resulting from the generation, management, and application of data, models, and information from authoritative sources across the system’s lifecycle

MBEnterprise Use Case:Move from 2D drawings and docs to3D Models + PMI on the shop floor


Aerospace and automotive have 20+ years of PLM experience MBEnterprise is supported as part of PLM strategies (maturity levels growing)

Early adopters: Boeing, Gulfstream, GM, Ford, Airbus…

Commercial aerospace OEMS proactive in getting FAA to accept electronic Technical Data Packages for flight certification signoffs and design approvals

Gulfstream’s maturity level is very advanced

Model-Based is now the basis for their FAA certification

Using embedded PMI with 3D directly to factory instead of 2D drawings & paper

Boeing: demonstrates massive use of 3D for 777 (mostly 3D) and 787 (all 3D)

CIMdata’s A&D PLM Action Group actively researching what is needed to fully define PMI (manufacturing data such as GD&T embedded in models)—many unresolved issues being addressed by joint industry & DoD/govt. activities

NIST, DMDII/UI Labs, Air Force Research Labs(AFRL), NAVAIR, etc. active in this area

3D data interoperability solution providers such as ITI and Anark partnership

Sewing the MBEnt Digital Thread (“As Is”) The MB Enterprise journey is still at its beginnings—early adopter successes (1 of 2)


DLA (Defense Logistics), NAVAIR, Army and others working on MBE-based TDPs (still relatively low maturity levels) Standardize the acquisition and sustainment of TDPs

Provide work force with the tools, training, infrastructure, and processes required to be successful

Army prototyping a 3D TDP for gun barrel (with Army Materiel Command)

Source: CIMdata MBSE web survey conducted with ANSYS & INCOSE (2015)


Needs to be developed and supported in the context of an enterprise “platform of platforms” solution but… Implemented and promoted based on specific MBE business use case success

and measurable ROI Crawl…Walk…Run!

Define and pilot well-defined MBx processes in specific business focus areas—Must account for cultural change and the people buy-in/training required

Need to supply “integrated, yet open” solutions of software and services based on industry standards and best practices

Industry & DoD need to support new contractual concepts AND accept electronic project deliverables/signoffs/TDPs For digital information and models to replace paper and 2D drawings, OEMs

need to understand what they are asking suppliers to do to change processes

Key Factors for SuccessDriving the PLM/Model-Based digitalization strategy to realization


Regardless of what we call the process, digitalization, and systems complexity will continue to profoundly affect the way we do product design, development & sustainment

Need to continually rethink PLM/MBSE/MBE/MBD and the Digital Thread to enhance our ability to design and deliver innovative and value added products and services Business models. platform integration strategies based on evolving standards,

solution/services offerings, new delivery & pricing models…

Digitalization makes everything subject to rapid change!

Final ThoughtsDigitalization, MBx, PLM, Innovation Platform, Digital Thread: What does it all mean?

It isn’t about what we call digitalization; It is about delivering value to customers and all other stakeholders of the enterprise
