Penny lets out an audible sigh as she scrolls through her phone while waiting for her drink at the local coffee shop. Her day is jam-packed with meetings with barely any time to wolf down lunch, let alone check in on the kids to ensure they’re actually involved in their virtual schooling. The only things that have kept her sane during this pandemic are her ritual of running out to grab a coffee in the mornings and training for a virtual triathlon. Penny is thankful that most of the meetings today revolved around Model-Based Definition, the newest engineering initiative at the aerospace manufacturer she works at.
As the Continuous Improvement Champion, Penny is under pressure to decrease manufacturing time and costs. She knows that MBD is the solution, but she struggles to get her organization moving in the right direction. CAD training isn’t enough, and it doesn’t stick with people. Some groups in the organization aren’t even convinced that they can give up their 2D paper drawings. On days like this, Penny feels like she’s never going to get anywhere at this rate.
Penny knows that the ideal solution would provide high-quality MBD training and reference materials for various practitioners, available on demand. But looking at her calendar for the next month, she doesn’t have time to develop it herself, and she doesn’t have enough internal resources to create it either. Penny knows there has to be a better way, so she starts to Google and stumbles across something called OSCAR….
