Overview
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalised application of modelling to support:
■ System requirements
■ Analysis
■ Design
■ Verification & Validation
beginning in the conceptual design phase and continuing throughout development and later lifecycle phases. (INCOSE). It contrasts with DBSE Document Based Systems Engineering where the primary artefacts of system engineering activities are documents. Establishing an understanding of, and adoption of, MBSE by individual systems engineers, systems engineering teams and organisations who apply systems engineering are non-trivial. This is an introductory Guide intended to assist individual systems engineers and organisations contemplating or travelling along the path of MBSE adoption. For elaboration of what MBSE is, the reader is referred to the INCOSE UK Z Guide Z9 'Model-Based Systems Engineering'.
Why should I adopt MBSE?
The reasons to adopt MBSE will be different depending whether you are an individual systems engineer, or whether you are an engineering manager.
For a systems engineer, adopt MBSE because:
- MBSE is an growing dominant approach to systems engineering, in constrast to conventional document-based systems engineering;
- MBSE will enable you to perform many if not all systems engineering activities more effectively than you would otherwise do;
- MBSE shifts work from involving much drudgery (manual checking, consistency checking...) associated with the document-centric approach to engineering as an intellectual challenge;
- systems engineers with MBSE experience are likely to be increasingly marketable than those without.
However, it will require you to understand MBSE philosophy, benefits, how you work within an organisation and team members using MBSE, and the use of practical languages (such as SysML) and MBSE-enabling tools.
For an engineering manager,
(tbc)
What does MBSE mean for my role?
(tbc)
Where (activity area, disciplines level of decomp) do I employ MBSE?
(tbc)
When (temporal e.g. life cycle phase, criteria) should MBSE be employed?
(tbc)
Who else needs to participate in, or will be impacted by the use of, MBSE activities?
(tbc)
How do I make use of MBSE on my project?
