“…MDAx to set-up the MDAO process. The MDAO process coupling the disciplinary codes in a single workflow, is automatically generated by the MDAO Workflow Design Accelerator, short MDAx [28]. MDAx, developed by the DLR, enables workflow integrator and disciplinary experts to model, inspect, and explore workflow components and their relationships.…”

Product design and supply chain management are two research domains extensively explored in literature. In the last decades, many studies have highlighted that the integration of these domains is important to increase the profitability and efficiency of companies. However, most of these studies aims at optimizing the supply chain after freezing the design of the product, and hence addressing the supply chain as the following step in product development. This paper presents a value-driven model-based approach that concurrently links product design, manufacturing and supply chain in the frame of aerospace system design. Thus, the challenge is to expand the early design phase of an aircraft to account both for manufacturing choices (e.g. raw materials, manufacturing and assembly processes) and supply chain management (e.g. suppliers' location, production cost per supplier). Three domainsmanufacturing, supply chain, overall aircraft designare selected to investigate all the aspects related to the entire aircraft development, from the initial design to the manufacturing and the assembly, through the aeronautical supply chain.

“…However, as the number of disciplinary capabilities continues to increase, the process of manually setting up interdisciplinary design workflows becomes overwhelming. Consequently, several attempts have been made to automate this process by tracing dependencies between tools using graph-based algorithms, taking inspiration from model-based system engineering methodology [23,24]. This not only facilitates the task of integration, but also allows for fast reconfiguration of the workflow as requirements change and the tool landscape evolves.…”

The research and innovation AGILE project has developed an approach, the socalled AGILE Paradigm, focusing on the acceleration of the deployment and operation of collaborative Multidisciplinary Design Analysis Optimization systems, which in turns can be exploited to accelerate the development of complex products, such as novel aerospace systems. Although the technologies developed for the implementation of the paradigm, have proved to reduce the deployment and operational time to more than 40% with respect to conventional MDAO approaches, the AGILE Paradigm has not been formalized and model by digital design engineering practices. This work introduces a novel approach leveraging MBSE principles to streamline the development of agile MDAO design systems, and establishing a bridge between MBSE and MDAO. Major outcomes here presented are the MBSE-driven models of the so-called AGILE MDAO system, representing the architecture, the requirements, as well as the organizational aspects, and all the interactions and activities implemented during the life-cycle stages of the MDAO system. The MBSE Architectural Framework, which defines the underlying ontological concepts and perspectives driving the development of the AGILE MDAO system model, are modeled and presented as well. The paper introduces for the first time the overall approach, as well as the high-level elements of the models developed, here represented by making use of SysML standard. The described approach is at the core of the recently launched project AGILE4.0, in which its scope will be expanded to cover the entire life-cycle of the development of complex aeronautical systems.
