    <p>Hi Robert,</p>
    <p>I agree there should only be one thread, but because of the
      digital twin composition, there is a transition between
      manufacturing and engineering that must be managed.</p>

            for sharing the diagram.  I would suggest an alternate
            labeling for the engineering and manufacturing digital
            thread.  The generalization of digital thread introduces the
            categorization of thread types, i.e. “engineering thread”. 
            If the attempt is to be discrete in assigning a label to a
            digital thread then a descriptive label that easily identify
            the purpose/use of the digital thread should be used. 
            Digital Threads align data/information with sequence(d)
            events/tasks/objectives.  A UUID could be assigned to a
            digital thread to identify the discrete digital thread use
            event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
