Model Based Engineering is a strategic imperative at Lockheed Martin to improve business velocity, insights, and competitiveness. A Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) is fundamentally an Industry 4.0 concept that enables digital continuity, data-driven decision-making, and smart manufacturing through technologies like AI, Internet of Things, and digital twins. Lockheed Martin business operational functions like Global Supply Chain will benefit from MBE solutions realized in collaboration with business partners who depend on technological advancements to succeed against supply chain constraints, evolving threats, and challenging missions. Business partner ability to support and execute the MBE mission of Lockheed Martin is critical business success by, for example, standardizing how Model-Based Technical Design Packages are securely collaborated between sellers and buyers and can accelerate the speed of business while reducing risk and complexity.
