Research On The Project Management System For Product Collaborative Design

In the face of the individuation and diversification of customers' demands and the rapid changes on the marker, enterprises should employ the network-centered information technologies, improve the power of competition by the means of the new design and manufacture mode, realize quick assembling and exploiting of geographically distributed design resource and shape a team-based collaborative design mode through the network inside or between the enterprises. Rational and efficient organization structure and management organism is one of the most important conditions to guarantee that collaborative design works well. This thesis primarily concentrates on the collaborative design system and its organizational structure, overall framework, system model and supporting technologies. The main contents are listed as the following:(1) Overall framework and system model of product collaborative design systemBased on the research on the product design process and its characteristics, as well as the requirements for collaboration, this thesis constructs an overall framework and system model including working mode, organizational structure, supporting technologies, etc.(2) Organizational structure of product collaborative design systemBased on the conclusion of the current organizational mode of design departments, this thesis puts forward a project-based organizational structure, which supports the concurrent collaborative working mode and can realize the transverse dynamic management.(3) Project management system for product collaborative designBased on the analysis of organizational structure and design process, this thesis puts forward a project management system faced to product collaborative design, and describe in detail very functional module in this system, such as organization modeler, process modeler, task executor, etc.(4) Object modeling in the process of product collaborative design managementThis thesis analyzes the characteristics of three most important types of information in the product collaborative design, and using object-oriented modeling technologies, constructs three interrelate object models: organization model, process model and product model, as to establish the base for project management system.
