DOCUMENT-BASED ENGINEERING (DBE)

Within LKAB, DBE consolidates information from various individual types of documents. Descriptions of complex relationships, requirements and systems mean that the document contents also become complicated and extensive. However, a document-based approach does not mean that all information needs to be conveyed in text form. The documents can be supplemented with models that describe examples of design or more abstract phenomena. The focus is not on models and their holistic contributions to efficient operations within all of LKAB.

MODEL-BASED ENGINEERING (MBE )

Can LKAB be described as having a systematic, efficient, and common use of models throughout the company? This use begins in early concept phases and continues through all lifecycles of the system. Models are used to describe system requirements and design, disseminate information, analyze behavior, control processes, and verify and validate information. MBE methodology has much in common with what the literature calls model-based systems engineering (MBSE). However, MBE aims at a suitable balanced use of digital models and data for LKAB, rather than a formal method.
