Lakewood, Colorado — [April 2025] — Action Engineering, a leader in 3D data transformation and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) implementation, has been awarded a role in the new strategic initiative: Progressive Trustbuilding for Supply Chain Transparency. This cross-organizational effort aims to accelerate the adoption of transparent, resilient supply chains by delivering validated, neutral guidance and a framework for trusted data-sharing relationships.
Modern manufacturing depends on complex, global supply chains. Yet visibility often stops at the immediate customer or supplier, creating vulnerability to disruption, delay, and miscommunication. This project addresses those challenges head-on by defining a minimum viable dataset and establishing a Supply Chain Trust Matrix — tools that will empower manufacturers to make timely, informed decisions across multiple tiers.
Project Leads Include:
- IQ Business Solutions
- Battra Company
- Action Engineering
- Hutcheson Associates
- The SCRM Consortium
“Resilient supply chains require more than digital tools — they demand shared understanding, trusted data exchange, and scalable frameworks,” said Jennifer Herron, CEO and Founder of Action Engineering. “This project takes a practical, people-centered approach to building that trust from the ground up.”
Action Engineering brings decades of experience guiding organizations through digital transformation, especially in technical data readiness, organizational change, and standards-based 3D practices. The company’s collaborative work with both government and commercial sectors — including MBE readiness assessments and multi-tier supply chain evaluations — uniquely positions it to lead this initiative.
Key Outcomes of the Project Include:
- A scalable model for lightweight, multi-tier supply chain visibility
- A validated framework for secure, trusted data-sharing relationships
- A Supply Chain Trust Matrix to strengthen partnerships, accelerate decisions, reduce costs, and enable growth
This initiative aligns with Action Engineering’s ongoing mission to “calm the chaos at the intersection of people and technology” and underscores its role as a trusted advisor in the evolving digital manufacturing landscape.
