CIMdata, Inc., announces that on May 1st, 2013, CIMdata’s Systems Engineering Knowledge Council will host its inaugural workshop. The workshop will show how a competitive advantage may be created through the deployment of systems engineering as a strategy for product development. Real-world examples will be provided by council participants and leading-edge users. The workshop will be facilitated by CIMdata’s practice manager for Systems Engineering, John MacKrell. Find out first-hand what others have been doing to implement Systems Engineering for product design, learn how the relationship tree among systems, subsystems, and components is managed and linked to the PDM product structure, and much more. This is the foremost opportunity to network with members of CIMdata’s Systems Engineering Knowledge Council and like-minded peers.
