The Application Of Product Data Management

Nowadays it's become life of a corporation to keep an incessant research of new products and take more possession of the market, due to the competition that gets keener day by day. In order to improve the quality, reduce the cost and shorten the cycle of research work, new technique, such as CAD, CAM, is widely used during we develop new products with concurrence project, which lead to a mass of data file .Besides, much work routine in a corporation is associated with computer, as we can completely check the design project of a fresh product with computer. To answer the requirement of reuse of the former data resource, the manage means of product data and work routine is demanded more and more urgently. Product Data Management (PDM) is an indispensable part of the concurrence project, which we run with CAD, CAE and CAM.PDM , a technique with much actualization and application, runs through the whole course of design, manufacture and management. It's perfectly integrated by technique, management and theory. As a result, PDM receives much recognition in corporation in many developed countries abroad, which brings it a rapid development. The theory basic and study pivot of this task is aiming at the actualization of PDM, which always comes down to ingredients such as technique and organization. Otherwise, the actualization of PDM is a intricate task, which have to be set grading and perfected step by step with effectual program.This disquisition, based on the actualization of PDM in Guangdong Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd, will explain the signification, technique and actualization of PDM, in order to offer a templet for other corporations in the nation. We will discuss the background and the meaning of the topic-selecting of the paper. Otherwise, the intention, keystone and method of research of the task, as well as the signification, meaning and theory of PDM, will be referred to in this paper. Besides, linked to the detail example of Guangdong Xinbao, we will pay more attention to what kind of work will be done during the actualization, including the basic work, the project, steps of the actualization, problems that should be looked sharp, resolvent to those problems, and the ways to check and accept.This treatise, established in practical application, is suggesting to the engineers who undertake information-based practice of manufacturing. Thereby PDM is popularized and practiced in numbers of corporations, which speeds up the course of the informationization of the manufacturing in our country.
