Product Data

Product data management (PDM) systems are enabling tool of concurrent engineering (CE). Although the PDM system provides good support for product data, particularly at the early stages of design, it is seldom used beyond the design process. Furthermore, it provides few facilities for activity definition and no facilities for the enactment of production activities. In order to manage the whole lifecycle of motorcycle development, this paper presents a product development process management system that integrates the workflow management system (WFMS) with the PDM. On one hand we can use the powerful product data management functionality of PDM systems, on the other hand we can use the effective process management and control functionalities of WFMS. For the sake of guiding and constraining the workflow modeling, we provide an integrated product development workflow model named P_PROCE model. It is made up of five views that are the process view(P), the product view(P), the resource view(R), and the organization view(O), the control & evaluation view(CE). Based on this model, the architecture and implementation of the product development process management system is presented. It consists of the workflow modeling module, the workflow enactment module and the PDM system. The first module includes process modeling, system sustain and API. The second module includes the personal desktop and the workflow engine. The PDM system is regarded as a workflow-enabled application. The workflow engine invokes it by the Tool Agent.

Requirement Management

Abstract Various database systems are used during the product development process to store and retrieve data about products. For example product data management (PDM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and requirement management (RM) systems. All those might be needed to support the product development process. Earlier research has investigated the co-existence of PDM and ERP systems. This paper extends this question and takes a look on how requirement management systems fit into the picture and how these systems can be used together in order to support the product development process. A comparison of functionality and product models of RM and PDM systems is made. A requirements driven product model of a car cockpit implemented in a RM tool is used as a theoretical reference. The actual situation at the company developing the cockpit is then described. Based on the comparison of the functionality and the product models, three strategies for how the systems could cooperate are presented. The strategies are discussed from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. The conclusions are that RM systems has functionalities for requirements management that do not exist in a PDM system, which calls for the use of both systems. This results in problems with traceability and duplicate data. A certain degree of requirements traceability can be achieved between the systems by applying the strategies presented, but this is not a trivial task.

Implementation Method

Product Data Management (PDM) enables the management of the entire product lifecycle and related information about its design and its manufacturing. The key of implement PDM technology is realization of the structure and configuration management about the product. The main functions of PDM and the product development process based on PDM are detailed in this paper. An implementation method is proposed and it is applied for a system by means of an example, which achieves a good result.

Product Data Management System

This paper discusses the role of automation in not only achieving faster product development and deployment, but also forging better collaboration between the functions responsible for product development and support. It presents how information should be shared, managed, and communicated throughout the product development process. The role of product data management system as an information technology for integrated product development is discussed.

According to the study of process management and knowledge management, knowledge based complex product development process management system is built, which is used to control the product development process with the supporting of knowledge. Process management system and knowledge management system are studied, and its prototype is developed on the platform of .NET Framework. Knowledge based process management system can provide necessary knowledge for designers, which can decrease errors, improve intellectualization and efficiency.

Adaptive Processes

AbstractThe implementation of agile frameworks, such as SAFe, in large companies causes conflicts between the overall product development process with a rigid linkage to the calendar cycles and the continuous agile project planning. To resolve these conflicts, adaptive processes can be used to support the creation of realistic target-processes, i.e. project plans, while stabilizing process quality and simplifying process management. This enables the usage of standardisation methods and module sets for design processes.The objective of this contribution is to support project managers to create realistic target-processes through the usage of target-process module sets. These target-process module sets also aim to stabilize process quality and to simplify process management. This contribution provides an approach for the development and application of target-process module sets, in accordance to previously gathered requirements and evaluates the approach within a case study with project managers at AUDI AG (N=21) and an interview study with process authors (N=4) from three different companies.

Data Manager

With the infusion of information technologies into product development and production processes, effective management of product data is becoming essential to modern production enterprises. When an enterprise-wide Product Data Manager (PDM) is implemented, PDM designers must satisfy the requirements of individual users with different job functions and requirements, as well as the requirements of the enterprise as a whole. Concern must also be shown for the interrelationships between information, methods for retrieving archival information and integration of the PDM into the product development process. This paper describes a user-driven approach applied to PDM design for an agile manufacturing pilot project at Sandia National Laboratories that has been successful in achieving a much faster design-to-production process for a precision electro mechanical surety device.
