Embedded Technology Industry Reports Significant Development Cost Reduction Using MBSE and PLE

“When compared to typical systems engineering endeavors, the application of model-based systems engineering delivers a 55% reduction of the total development cost. The most mature form of MBSE is model-based product line engineering (PLE). When compared to typical systems engineering endeavors, the application of model-based product-line engineering delivers a 41.6% reduction of the total development cost.” These […]

Why Model-Based Systems Engineering Reduces Costs

One of the common objections I’ve heard to adopting Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is that it is prohibitively expensive.  The tools used to perform MBSE are more expensive than tools previously used to perform Systems Engineering.  The costs associated with training an existing Systems Engineering workforce in the methods, semantics (languages such as UML or SysML), […]
