          MBE Overview Computer-Based Training (CBT) Course

          Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) is a business practice primarily focused on the use of digital data and subsequent datasets. To support an MBE, various model-based activities (MBx) are typically implemented, such as model-based definition (MBD) or model-based systems engineering (MBSE). The goal of being able to produce, consume, and utilize digital data both upstream and downstream can be achieved with proper implementation and preparation. 

          This course is an introduction to MBE. No prior knowledge or understanding is needed. Students will be guided through various topics discussing what an MBE is, why it matters, and how it can be supported. Model-based definition is also discussed, and MBD schemas are introduced to provide a basis for structuring data within an MBE. Students can expect to finish the course with a general knowledge of MBE, MBD and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The goal of this course is to provide learners with enough knowledge to make informed decisions regarding MBE and MBD, while feeling confident about adopting a model-based enterprise.
