The PPO design model with respect to digital enterprise technologies among product life cycle

The Product-Process-Organisation model, PPO, provides efficient assistance to collaboration during innovative design project. This model is dedicated to the development phase of a new product: the product architecture is indeed not yet defined and tasks will be set dynamically during the product development. In an integrated design perspective, development must also forecast each product behaviour that will occur after development. That is achieved by assessing PPO behaviours. This paper presents the PPO model and the open IPPOP framework instantiating this model. It investigates how such a model with such a digital platform may interact with other services used to assist other phases of the product life cycle.
