“…Introduced at the beginning of the 2000s, the issue of concurrent product design and ASP (Zha et al 2001, Zha and Du 2002, Barnes et al 2004) has received much attention in research work during the last decade (Wang et al 2009). These efforts are aimed at tackling difficulties and weaknesses encountered in design for assembly (DFA) and ASP approaches by introducing the concept of AOD (Mantripragada 1998, Zha et al 2001.…”

“…Based on detailed product geometry and a part-to-part-oriented evaluation, DFA approaches lead to a redesign of products (Barnes et al 2004). On the other hand, research work on ASP has resulted in generating, through algorithms, exact and heuristic methods -which are presented through graphs and diagrams -and evaluating assembly sequences with decision criteria from detailed product geometry and the related assembly relational models (Dong et al 2007, Su 2009).…”

The paper describes a novel approach to product relationships management in the context of concurrent engineering and product lifecycle management (PLM). Current industrial practices in product data management and manufacturing process management systems require better efficiency, flexibility, and sensitivity in managing product information at various levels of abstraction throughout its lifecycle. The aim of the proposed work is to manage vital yet complex and inherent product relationship information to enable concurrent product design and assembly sequence planning. Indeed, the definition of the product with its assembly sequence requires the management and the understanding of the numerous product relationships, ensuring consistency between the product and its components. This main objective stresses the relational design paradigm by focusing on product relationships along its lifecycle. This paper gives the detailed description of the background and models which highlight the need for a more efficient PLM approach. The proposed theoretical approach is then described in detail. A separate paper will focus on the implementation of the proposed approach in a PLM-based application, and an in-depth case study to evaluate the implementation of the novel approach will also be given.

“…Although complexity research in design has focused on component shape, some attempts have been made to quantify the complexity of an assembly. In defining measures to select a optimal assembly sequence from those that are geometrically feasible, [11,12] define sequence complexity in terms of the number of insertions, reorientations, total assembly operations and the depth of the product structure hierarchy.…”

The paper introduces an innovative complexity metric for passenger ships taking into account the shape complexity of steel parts, the assembly complexity and the material complexity. The goal is to provide the designer with such information throughout the design process so that an efficient design is obtained at the first design run. Real-time assessment of complexity and quality measurements is rather imperative to ensure efficient and effective optimality search, and to allow real-time adjustment of requirements during the design. Application and validation on a real passenger ship show that the new method is effective in giving a complementary aid to decision process for ship designers.

Nowadays, companies have to cope with numerous constraints at organisational and technical levels in order to improve their competitiveness edges such as productivity, efficiency, and flexibility. Integrated product-process design becomes more and more complex to manage because of increasingly customized products related to various stakeholders and concerns geographically distributed. It is still represents a huge challenge, especially in the early phases of product development process. In such a context, the management of information within integrated product-process design highlights needs in a consistent engineering model that enables product lifecycle management (PLM) integration. The paper presents a novel multiple viewpoint framework called multiple viewpoint assembly oriented, considering product design and assembly process domains in the broader context of concurrent engineering and PLM. The proposed framework describes the consistency, the propagation of information change, and mechanisms of views generation among the product lifecycle stages in order to support assembly oriented design philosophy. A new modelling language called System Modeling Language is used to describe the proposed model from a systems engineering point of view. The implementation of the model in a Webservice called PEGASUS as an application for PLM systems is described.
