Research On XBOM Oriented The Product Whole Life Cycle

In the product design and the manufacture process of the manufacturing industry, the bill of material of the product is a construction for describing assemble, among them including all assembles, accessories, original materials, and the quantity of the materials which making assembles need, In the design of the product and the manufacture process, the BOM plays a role of the core data, it is the information bridge to link the product design and the manufacture process, is the gist which enterprise engineering design section with craft section to proceed the CAD/ CAPP, which production control section implement MES/ MRPII/ ERP, and which manufacturing section carry out CAM.Based on the a great deal of former work productions and supported by the National High-Technology Development Program (863) of whole solving schema of xBOM oriented the product whole life cycle and its software supporting system, this paper has anglicized the practical demands of the BOM in enterprises and made scientific research as follows:1) Oriented to product basic data management, a new concept named xBOM is brought forward and extended to the product life cycle. This paper studies on the transition and data structures of many BOM views. How to modeling the BOM views transform using WorkFlow technology is also studied.2) The holistic structure of xBOM based on wokflow platform is brought forward according to demands of different departments. The whole solving schema for xBOM container sub-system that is the logic core of system is also put forward. The workflow is embedded in xBOM system as a plug-in set to be a tool to manage the workflow convert in xBOM.3) This paper discusses the application of BOM in system integration, pointing out that xBOM is the main information in the system integration and the important construction of the PDM and ERP system. It also establishes the uniform logic relation of the production data by SSPD, and after that puts forward the integrated framework which xBOM oriented the product whole life cycle is in PDM system.
