As each day brings new supply chain challenges, Model-Based practices must evolve to meet them. The 2025 MBE & QIF Summit was an opportunity to share best practices amongst companies that have embraced standards along their MBE journey. Hosted by two premier standards-focused organizations, NIST and DMSC, the event offered a forum for forward looking companies to build awareness of MBE success stories from the standards community.
This year, nearly 200 participants gathered at MxD in Chicago to share, learn and study new ways to be more efficient in their digital transformation. Although each MBE implementation may be different, many execution issues can be the same. This event was initiated to encourage dialogue within the MBE community to share success stories and innovative solutions to similar problems. The event offered over 30-speaker sessions, each with different ideas that could be applied to a unique MBE problem.
Keynote speaker Christopher Garrett, from the USAF Lifecycle Management Center, evangelized multiple innovative concepts to solve critical process problems in new product development for weapons systems. The commitment to standards is a key element in the Air Force acquisition priority to revolutionize their processes.
The MBE & QIF Summit has established itself as an essential knowledge source for those companies wanting to learn more about how to bring success and efficiency to their MBE journey. Plans for a 2026 event are already underway – don’t miss it!
