The workshop will include an overview of MBD and MBE fundamentals, data types and dataset classifications, how MBD and MBE differ from traditional business processes, justification for, benefits of, and opportunities created by MBE, cultural and business implications of MBE, transition and implementation strategies, and what it takes to become a model-based enterprise.  Key takeaways will be understanding data types and dataset classes, the effect of MBE on how we do business, the difference between a document-based environment and a model-based environment, and how MBE enhances productivity, quality, and throughput within an enterprise and throughout its supply chain.
