When you think MBSE, you might think SysML right away—but what about MBSE without SysML?

In our next episode, we sit down with a guest, Joshua Feingold from Occam Systems, a company that helps organizations source specialty chemicals—from flavors and fragrances to pharma ingredients and adhesives. But how do they approach complexity and optimization before anything is even manufactured?

We dive into how Occam applies MBSE principles without SysML:

• How they model and simulate chemical sourcing processes
• Why does their MBSE metamodel has fewer than 20 concepts
• How they use AI, algorithms, and chemists in an upstream fusion of science and systems
• Why “MBSE First Principles” and the ideas of Wymore still matter
• Diagrams vs Text vs Both: what works best?
  

If you’re curious about how MBSE is evolving outside the traditional SysML ecosystem—and how it empowers decision-making in non-obvious domains—you won’t want to miss this one.
