Data management of green product development with generic modularized product architecture

“…The essential function of a product model is to define the rules to produce all the BOMs of the product variants. Numerous past studies utilized the concept of generic BOM (or product architecture) for integrating product and production information when pursuing high product variety [24][25][26][27]. However, to the authors' knowledge, product configuration or generic BOM has not yet been applied to the management of product environmental data.…”

Managing product variability by virtual products

“…Since this is not always the case in practice, care has to be taken in the product variant speci® cation process in order to avoid`illegal' value combinations. Other researchers have implemented generators by enhancing the traditional tabular BOM representations, for example, by adding conditions to the goes-into relationships (see van Veen and Wortmann 1987, Hegge and Wortmann 1991, van Veen 1992, van Veen and Wortman 1992a, 1992b. The problem is that a variant must be generated by selecting the right parts of the tabular structure.…”

Generic Bill-of-Materials-and-Operations for High-Variety Production Management

“…While the traditional BOM links components to end items (the top level of the BOM), a MBOM links components to product options, which is below the end product level (Van Veen and Wortmann, 1992). A MBOM is constructed in the way the product is ordered and consists of product feature modules (called planning modules).…”
