At the time of design producing of the manufactured products (product), the concept that, or it manages various engineering data which from the conceptual design cover all production monistically, the system which actualizes that.
The usual manufactured products consist of the combination of the plural parts. There is a design figure and a specificationetc.by CAD even in one one of the parts, various data such as the bill of material whichshowsthe combination and constitution of the part and the directory regarding the assembly exist. It becomes possible to do the efficiency of design business, e.g., it rearranges the related characteristic of those data, by the fact that it manages monistically, when part specification modification and remodelling of the product have become necessary, it reaches the point where the intended data can be accessed instantaneously.
In addition PDM was defined until recently the system which manages design process, but recently the information interchange joint ownership which exceeds section and enterprise such as design support is actualized,attention is attractedas a system in order to practice the concurrent engineering. |
