A Data Management Approach Based on Product Morphology in Product Lifecycle Management

In the product life cycle from conception to retirement, there are three forms: conceptual products, digital products and physical products. The carriers of requirements, functions abstract structures, data management focuses on mapping functions, structures. carrier is files such as drawings models, focus design evolution product. Physical entities, their attributes states will change over time. Existing model research often one or two forms, it even impossible integrate forms into system. So, a new method based form presented. According characteristics data, model, established manage respectively, use global object them unified model. has single for business stage. uses core source, stage rule filter add constraints each public phase, phase private phase. Finally, case Multi-Purpose Container Vessel studied verify feasibility method. This paper proposes covering which provides data.
