The production and logistics modeling team is advancing the practice and adoption of formal system modeling and model-based systems engineering methodologies in development and operations of production and logistics systems. Specific challenges in providing a foundation to production and logistics [systems] engineering discipline are the lack of:

• Standard reference models
• Well-structured engineering design methodologies
• Integrated analysis models and tools available to support design and operational decision-making.

The purpose of this modeling challenge team is to increase the availability of reference models, awareness of these models and methods, and successful use of MBSE within the production, logistics, and industrial engineering communities.
