A scalable framework for demand-oriented model-based systems engineering application: the MBSE Cube

The complexity of modern products poses significant challenges for the industry. Existing model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies often lack the scalability and mechanisms for assessing maturity required to meet diverse organizational needs. Implementing MBSE all at once is impractical due to the complexity of changes required and resistance to change among employees. The MBSE Cube was developed as a scalable, demand-oriented framework to support organizations transitioning from no systems engineering processes or document-based approaches to model-based practices. This artifact-based approach guides the systematic creation of development artifacts, forming the foundation for MBSE implementation. By integrating abstraction levels, system views, and maturity levels, the Cube helps organizations assess their state and develop tailored MBSE adoption strategies.
