“…As such, PLM primarily offers firms an integrated, comprehensive method for managing a product over its entire life cycle (Shu and Wang 2007). Despite its utility, complexities associated with supplier integration, project management and product development have caused some enterprises to resist adopting PLM (Zancul 2009).…”

Our aim was to discover the most important factors that influence the development of greener products in the mechanical industry, emphasising green design in product creation based on current environmental issues and considering product development as one important aspect of product life cycle management. This model is important to the mechanical industry because this sector relies heavily on raw materials, and recycling products is one way to improve environmental conditions. We used exploratory factor analyses to assess new product development, communication in change management, concurrent engineering, green products design worries and supplier involvement risks perception. The factor analyses initially found 10 constructs, but the 10th was eliminated because it had only one variable, and 5 were eliminated because they yielded Cronbach's alpha values less than 0.6. To develop this model, we sent questionnaires to 2000 professionals in the Brazilian mechanical industry through LinkedIn discussion groups, mostly to professionals who participated in product development and was received 405 answered questionnaires which 394 was considered valid. The results show the importance of consistently managing product development throughout the entire product life cycle. This includes aspects such as product recycling, green products and using materials that are easy to recycle, from the very beginning of product design.

“…This is accomplished through the recognition that all information related to a product's development over the course of its life cycle should be accessible by appropriate enterprise personnel. This reduces both the time and costs needed to develop new products (Lambert 2010;Shu and Wang 2007).…”

A methodology toward manufacturing grid-based virtual enterprise operation platform, Enterprise Information Systems, 4:3, 283-309, Virtual enterprises (VEs) have become one of main types of organisations in the manufacturing sector through which the consortium companies organise their manufacturing activities. To be competitive, a VE relies on the complementary core competences among members through resource sharing and agile manufacturing capacity. Manufacturing grid (M-Grid) is a platform in which the production resources can be shared. In this article, an M-Grid-based VE operation platform (MGVEOP) is presented as it enables the sharing of production resources among geographically distributed enterprises. The performance management system of the MGVEOP is based on the balanced scorecard and has the capacity of self-learning. The study shows that a MGVEOP can make a semi-automated process possible for a VE, and the proposed MGVEOP is efficient and agile.

“…Due to ever-increasing complexity of the design process, which causes an increase in the number of interdisciplinary couplings as well, it becomes very hard for human designers to foresee the consequences of changing certain subsystems (Bos 1998). Integration of applications in engineering domains becomes a challenging frontier of the information technology (Shu and Wang 2007). Manufacturing companies in industries like turbine engine, aircraft, weapon systems and vehicles exhibit strong interest in integrating applications used for product design and analysis computations.…”

Parameter mapping and data transformation for engineering application integration

Enterprise applications may be classified into management applications used by managerial staffs for making decisions on business operations, and engineering applications used by engineers for solving multidisciplinary design problems. In the literature, enterprise application integration is extensively addressed in the context of management applications, but insufficiently discussed in the engineering disciplines. Practitioners in manufacturing industries have for a long time feel the increasing need of integrating engineering applications, in order to accelerate product development paces and improve design qualities. Integrating engineering applications used in the multiple engineering disciplines has to cope with a number of challenges. This paper focuses on one of the critical issues: parameter mapping and data transformation, which is of pivotal importance to integrating engineering applications. Design parameter mapping provides a consistent approach to data extraction, storage, display and manipulation among different data sources. Data transformation describes the operational logic of parsing input/output files, extracting and transforming data, and maintaining consistency among multiple data sources.
