Breaking The Non-Recurring Cost Curve Using Model Based Methodologies
Gary Mansouri, Chris Rackauckas, Viral B. Shah

Sponsor Keynote: Boeing and JuliaHub.

Breaking the non-recurring cost curve requires a fundamental shift in how complex systems are designed, analyzed, verified, and integrated. Traditional development approaches often discover design defects late in the lifecycle, when correction is more expensive, schedules are more constrained, and integration risk is highest. Model Based Development (MBD) changes this dynamic by moving defect discovery earlier and extending the verification window through the use of high-fidelity design models, executable simulations, early functional prototyping, and model-driven validation. This presentation explores how model-based methodologies enable earlier requirements validation, improved design maturity, greater standardization, earlier verification test readiness, and higher-fidelity system integration. By placing detailed system design models at the center of the development process, organizations can reduce late-cycle rework, improve first-pass quality, accelerate integration maturity, and ultimately reduce non-recurring engineering cost while improving delivery confidence.
