Challenges in Data Management in Product Life Cycle Engineering

Identifying Product and Process State Drivers in Manufacturing Systems Using Supervised Machine Learning

“…Some researchers use the terms almost interchangeable whereas others clearly state that PLM is a central approach of an integrated management data related to products but also manufacturing processes and beyond (Fasoli et al 2011). Classic PDM functionality encompasses object, component and document management, classification and search functionality, change management and tools for system administration and configuration (Abramovici and Sieg 2001).…”

“…Looking at the claim of PDM systems that they can integrate and manage all application, information and processes that define a product (Chryssolouris et al 2009), there are many challenges in data management in the manufacturing domain still to be faced (Fasoli et al 2011). However, PDM systems today are used by most manufacturing companies for e.g., "controlling information, files, documents, and work processes and are required to design, build, support, distribute, and maintain products" (Chryssolouris et al 2009).…”

“…Saaksvuori and Immonen (2004) describe product data as "information broadly related to a product". PDM is one of the major focus areas of engineering and manufacturing companies (Fasoli et al 2011). Fasoli et al (2011) claim, that especially within today's distributed production processes, it is most important that data is first correct and second correctly distributed.…”

“…PDM is one of the major focus areas of engineering and manufacturing companies (Fasoli et al 2011). Fasoli et al (2011) claim, that especially within today's distributed production processes, it is most important that data is first correct and second correctly distributed. It is essential that data is correct and in a format that it can be transferred to all addresses in need electronically (Saaksvuori and Immonen 2004;Gimenez et al 2008).…”

“…3.2). Recent research clusters available PLM methods/tools in three major groups (Gimenez et al 2008;Fasoli et al 2011): information (e.g., focus on identification methods) and process management (e.g., operational activities) as well as application integration (e.g., definition of interfaces). Conventional views of PLM tend to stress the first phase of the product lifecycle, due to its beginnings in PDM and CAD.…”
