HARNESSING COMPLEMENTARY DATA STRUCTURES TO SUPPORT CHANGE PROCESSES IN PRODUCT LIFECYCLE ACTIVITIES FOR EXTENDED PLM SOLUTIONSThe capacity of a company to innovate is directly related to its capacity to efficiently manage product evolutions or changes. Changes throughout the life of a complex product generate retroactive flows of information, which are most important for effective collaboration. These are still not well understood from a scientific point of view and are currently only supported by empirical practices and methodologies. This research proposal aims at discovering complementary data structures to formally support retroactive processes induced by product change across product lifecycle activities such as design, manufacturing and in service. The originality of this research lies in the study of complementary product data structures such as features, bill of materials, tolerances, process plans and manufacturing dispersions to effectively manage multidirectional flows of information within a PLM system. In simple terms, PLM is about integrating the various data management software developed for the different stages of the life of a product (CAD, CAM, PDM, FEA, Workflow management, etc.) in a comprehensive package destined to improve the information and data share between partners, clients and suppliers in a digital enterprise environment. The main hypothesis to be validated in this research work is that only complementary, rather than unified, data structures can effectively support multidirectional flows of information in the product lifecycle and thus advanced PLM solutions.

利用补充数据结构支持产品生命周期活动中的变更，以获得扩展的PLM解决方案公司的创新能力与其有效管理产品演进或变更的能力直接相关。在复杂产品的整个生命周期中发生的变化会产生可追溯的信息流，这对有效协作至关重要。从科学的角度来看，这些仍然没有得到很好的理解，目前只得到经验做法和方法的支持。本研究建议旨在发现互补的数据结构，以正式支持追溯过程中引起的产品变更跨产品生命周期的活动，如设计，制造和服务。这项研究的独创性在于研究互补的产品数据结构，如功能，物料清单，公差，工艺计划和制造分散，有效地管理PLM系统内的多方向信息流。简单地说，PLM是关于集成为产品生命周期的不同阶段开发的各种数据管理软件（CAD，CAM，PDM，FEA，工作流管理等）。在一个全面的包中，旨在改善数字企业环境中合作伙伴，客户和供应商之间的信息和数据共享。在这项研究工作中要验证的主要假设是，只有互补的，而不是统一的，数据结构可以有效地支持产品生命周期中的多方向的信息流，从而先进的PLM解决方案。
