Research And Realization Of Time Management On PDM System Workflow

Product Data Management (PDM) is a kind of new management idea and technology.PDM is a tool for managing the process of data product developing during the product’slife cycle. PDM system usually integrates product-related information with computernetwork based on the database which functioning as the carrier. This method would bringbenefits as the current business computerization, co-ordination all the information relatedto the product with assurance to make the information of product consistent and safe, forthe purpose of achieving enterprise information, as well as designing process automationand standardization. Workflow is the result of calculating the business process, which getsthrough coordinating equipment and human resource to make business process get on thespecific way the enterprise need, then ultimately achieving the state of being standardized,efficient, automated, intelligent as much as possible. Therefore workflow lies in the keyposition of PDM.With the increasing expansion of business scale and complexity of the product design,the efficiency of the production process is becoming a much more important impact factorto influence the company’s social capability and image, whether the project can becompleted on time is especial important. Workflow time management research is mainlyon planning time setting as workflow case initialize, executing stated time monitoring andbusiness process adjustment when time transgressed,there by enhance workflow efficiencyand insure project flow proceed efficiently on time. Consequently, the research onworkflow time management draws attention of extensive scholars.This paper points out time management contents and then analyses the necessary andthe importance of time management in the PDM system workflow, while research thestudy current situation and certain common workflow time modeling pattern in workflow time management, at last carry through based on the above research achievement and thepractical need of this laboratory PDM project. This article mainly on the research andrealize of workflow time management, constructing the workflow time managementpattern perfect for the enterprise, providing the simple and efficient mechanism for theenterprise, to enhance the efficiency of the process management.
