Join us for our 13 May 2025 Chapter meeting featuring:
Presenter: Marco Forlingieri
Topic: MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success
Abstract: Join us for the presentation as Marco presents a clear and concise guide to MBPLE, with industrial case studies described in his book. Model-Based Product Line Engineering (MBPLE) is the only theoretical and practical foundational book on MBPLE that brings together the topics of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and feature-based product line engineering (PLE). It examines how PLE can benefit from a model-based and model-centric approach and, in turn, how MBSE combined with holistic PLE can boost model reuse and improve the MBSE business case.
The book combines both management and engineering aspects to deliver comprehensive coverage of the subject and real-life challenges and implementations of MBPLE, discussing adoption obstacles faced by engineering organizations and how to overcome them to ensure a successful MBPLE deployment.
Bio: Marco Forlingieri is Senior Director for PLE Services at PTC, leading worldwide the PLE technical services, with several years of experience in PLE and MBSE domains across Asia, Europe and US. He is also chair of the INCOSE PLE International Working Group and leading author of the book “MBPLE: The Feature-Based Path to Product Lines Success”.

Upcoming INCOSE Events
[NSC Meeting] Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC)
Minneapolis , USA
435 North 5th Street
Note: This address is that of the Visitor Center entrance door on the top level on the Target Field Station Parking Ramp. Parking in the metro transit’s ramps B & C are quite close by.
Does creating electrical power for 25,000 homes, and recovering 11,000 tons of scrap metal sound like a better use of truckloads of trash than creating more mountains of landfill? Hennepin County residents and businesses generate more than one million tons of waste each year, enough to fill the Target Center 11 times over.
This presentation explains the technology, equipment and processes to operate, maintain and control this recovery operation. These questions and more will be answered in May at the INCOSE North Star Chapter (NSC) Monthly Meeting.
- Will we ever get to zero waste?
- What total reduction in mass does this provide?
- What does it take to operate?
Who: Grades 9-12 and adults (no one under age 13 allowed to tour HERC).
