A knowledge-based system for quality analysis in model-based design

Model-Based Enterprise Approach in the Product Lifecycle Management: State-of-the-Art and Future Research Directions

“…Before discussing the results obtained from the systematic literature review, it is interesting to understand the reasons why the analysis of the model-based enterprise has been carried out from the product lifecycle perspective. Several previous researchers [2,11,13] have recognized an intrinsic relationship between the MBE and product lifecycle by remarking the benefits and challenges of introducing model-based technologies for managing product data and information, and by highlighting the limitations of traditional approaches based on 2D drawings or incomplete product 3D models. Moreover, a direct relationship between MBE approaches and the PDM seems to exist because of the relevant contributions referred to the technical development phases of the product data management (i.e., design and build).…”

“…With respect to the other analyzed papers [2,8,10,11,21,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], the importance of model-based solutions is discussed in broad terms, considering the whole product lifecycle and addressing different benefits such as the possibility to improve the integration between the department functions of a company, and different challenges such as the need to use standards for ensuring data consistency.…”

“…To be competitive in the modern markets and in the global economy, where the complexity of products is still increasing, the industries need to adopt effective solutions during the product development process and to support, for sustainable purposes, all the phases of product lifecycle [1,2]. The customer requirements are becoming more and more specific and the market demand tends to be very dynamic and also unpredictable in such cases.…”

“…Yang et al [2] state that the quality of the MBD model plays a key role in achieving model-based enterprise. In particular, they promote the use of flexible tools and standards to avoid misunderstandings between the stakeholders involved in the use of these models at different phases along the product lifecycle.…”

Model-Based Definition and Enterprise: State-of-the-art and future trends

“…A system for quality analysis of part models is a prospect to ensure meeting needs of all these stages. Based on this concept, Yang et al 18 have proposed a knowledge-based system for analysis of model quality originating from eight stages of the model use. These types of systems would help silo elimination between the designer and the user.…”
