Digital engineering is revolutionizing the way aerospace and defense systems are being designed, developed, and maintained. Enabling digital knowledge workers is crucial for its success. Command media and other process definitions need not only reflect who should do what, but also how and why certain activities should be performed — and which tools and practices can be used.
This 60-minute Webinar will explore the benefits of a holistic and fully model-based approach. Using detailed customer cases, speakers will combine value stream and process mapping to open new perspectives for redesigning, streamlining, and automating digital knowledge work. The webinar will also show to involve both leadership and the frontline in defining such a process architecture and demonstrate modern tooling to secure a successful rollout.
Topics include:
- The challenges of knowledge work in digital engineering environments
- Using a holistic model-based approach to design processes and value streams based on industry standards
- The capabilities of fully digitized command media and process landscapes
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
