How to Boost the Extended Enterprise Approach in Engineering Using MBSE – A Case Study from the Railway Business

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of why Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) is the mandatory solution to engineer complex railway systems and subsystems, giving some insights about the complexity and technical challenges. But its main focus will be on how MBSE can be a key enabler on the implementation of an extend enterprise approach in the engineering domain. The case study is on rolling stock systems and brake subsystems developed by the two companies Bombardier Transportation and Knorr-Bremse which are in a customer-supplier relationship.
