SBIR Phase I: Collaborative Product Definition Management

这一小型企业创新研究第一阶段研究项目将探索建立一个经济实惠且完全可访问的网络的可能性，该网络提供清晰的规范解释工具和记录关键设计特征的方法。这一努力有可能带来彻底改变百年惯例的进步。这将反过来改变扩展的企业，特别是生产系统，因为成功实现质量、产品可靠性和完整性、生产计划和调度的根本是确保所有组件完全满足设计意图。实现高效流水线、及时库存实践和完全集成供应链等创新的能力依赖于从一开始就近乎完美并在产品生命周期中保持这种状态的材料和部件。协同产品定义管理研究愿景的实现将使这些基本目标得以实现。如果成功，该解决方案将减少生成产品规格的时间和精力。通过满足设计意图，产品将在更短的开发时间和更低的成本后投放市场。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I research project will explore the possibilities for an affordable and fully accessible network that provides clear specification interpretation tools and the means to document key design characteristics. The effort has the potential to provide advancements that will completely transform century-old practices. This will, in turn, transform the Extended Enterprise-and specifically Production Systems-because the root of successful attainment of quality, product reliability and integrity, production planning, and scheduling is the assurance that all components fully meet the design intent. The ability to achieve such innovations as efficient flow lines, just-in-time inventory practices, and a fully integrated supply chain are dependent on material and components that are near-perfect from the beginning and remain that way over the life of the product. Achievement of the Collaborative Product Definition Management research vision will enable realization of these essential objectives.If successful this solution will reduce the time and effort to generate product specifications. By meeting design intent products will go to market after a shorter development time and at a lower cost.
