Analysis of the MBE&MBD Integration as a Tool for Value Creation in Industries

Abstract

The thesis explores the current state of Model-based Enterprise (MBE) and Model-based Definition (MBD) in the industrial sector. The study consists of two main parts. The first part is a literature-based study on MBE and MBD's modern principles and market situation in the industrial sector. The second part of the thesis includes original data collected through a survey addressed to different manufacturing companies. It was designed to obtain real-world experience, perceived benefits, and current levels of implementation of MBE/MBD technologies in practice. The responses were analyzed, and conclusions were made about trends and future expectations. Both parts of the thesis aim to give a clear picture of the present and future role of MBE and MBD in modern manufacturing.
