Model-Based Design is widely adopted for complex system and embedded software development. However, there is a wide range of Model-Based Design maturity levels among engineering organizations. As a result, some organizations achieve greater development efficiency and product quality gains than their peers. Drawing on data from Model-Based Design Process Assessments™ and survey results, this presentation describes methodologies; outlines characteristics of leaders, average adopters, and laggards; and closes with a look at trends. The presentation also reviews:

• Types of assessed automotive OEMs and suppliers
• Key characteristics of leaders, what they do that makes them leaders, benefits they gain, and trends
• Comparison of the automotive and aerospace industries’ maturity
