Research And Implementation Of The Plm In Product Structure And Configuration Management Subsystem

Since the proposition in the end of the 20th century, the development of Product Lifecycle Management is extremely rapid, and it becomes the focus of global manufacturing industry. It manages all the data and process related to product in the product entire lifecycle (from conceptual design to manufacture, serves and discards), supports the information production and use in the expansion enterprise, so it is the deepening and the development of PDM technology, thereinto, the product structure and configuration management are the most basic, core module in PLM.The product structure is the core concept surmounting the departments and management stages, and it is the bridge linking PLM system to other application systems. Product configuration management then is the expansion of product structure management, satisfies the various demand of world customers. This paper researches how to develop and realize the manufacturing industry enterprise's product structure and configuration management, according to the elementary theory foundation, it stresses enterprise practical application.The paper analyzes PLM elementary theory, the application technology and the development tendency at first, and then expounds the product structural model and configuration method. Product itself has certain subsystem compositions, which has the restraint relations mutually, the primary mission of structure and configuration management are how to macroscopic grasp the overall construction of a large-scale complex product, and how to group the entire product or a module according to the internal components quantity, the nature as well as the relations,.According to the actual project, the paper proposed the corresponding solution of product structure and configuration management system. It introduces the project demand analysis, the system goal, and the design proposal comprehensively. In this project, it has manifested that the product structure and configuration management plays the vital role in the business management, proves the basic data function of...
