“…The collaborative product development (CPD) requires team members from different departments of a manufacturing enterprise to collaborate closely and share information efficiently via the Internet (Zhou, Ai, Liu, & Xie, 2008). This collaboration requires the product data, information, and knowledge to be efficiently managed and used during the product development (PD) processes (Xie, Huang, & Tu, 2002). Product modeling technology is one of the key and indispensable technologies to support efficient data exchange and sharing during the PD processes (Yan, Pehman, & Pace, 2008).…”

A STEP (STandard for Exchange of Product model data)-based Generic Product Modeling Architecture (GPMA) for efficient information sharing and exchange in support of collaborative injection moulding product development, is proposed in this article. The architecture consists of four functional components: an EXPRESS Data Model (EDM), a STEP-based modeling environment, a five-phase modeling method, and three EDM data exchange and sharing methods. The focus of this article is on the modeling methodologies and the definition of schemas for modeling all the important information during the life cycle of injection moulding product development. The information structure is well defined in EXPRESS language, which allows the creation of user-defined data types and the definition of more complex entities for injection moulding products. Because the proposed GPMA is based on STEP, it can provide standardized mechanisms for representing and exchanging product model data, is extendable, and is adaptable. A prototype system named the World Wide Web-based Product Information Sharing System was developed based on the proposed GPMA. The system is then applied to a Chinese injection moulding enterprise to support the collaborative product development of a new product, and the results validated the feasibility of the proposed GPMA.

A decision support system (DSS) is a specific class of computerized information systems that support decision-making activities. Such a system has become paramount in supporting manufacturing activities with the development of World Wide Web (WWW) technology in recent years. The research and development of a knowledge-based DSS dedicated to rapid one-of-a-kind products (OKPs), however, has, to the author's knowledge, rarely been directly studied. This work presents a knowledge-based DSS for supporting decision-making activities in developing OKPs using broad knowledge base content. The underlying architecture of the proposed system is a system that manages and optimizes the data, information and knowledge in the product development process. A knowledge structure model is proposed in this paper, and a comprehensive set of expert knowledge and analytical/numerical methods are integrated into the system to automate intelligent decision-making. Case studies have shown that the knowledge-based DSS is able to help OKP companies develop new products more quickly by sharing optimization tools, information and knowledge to reduce possible errors and rework.

“…The IDFC discussed in this paper is more specific in cost estimation and optimization of developing a mould that normally consists of basic common components. Obviously, its cost optimization and estimation methods are different from the ones used in sheet metal part development as described by Xie et al (2002). In the IDFC system, the costing processes normally consist of the following steps.…”

Computer Internet communication technology offers tremendous potential for building computer communication and software platforms for rapid development of OKP products to meet global competition. In the past few years, a variety of Internet-based systems have been developed for the purpose of Rapid Product Development (RPD). Among these systems, Internet-based "Design for X (DFX)" systems have been recognized as efficient tools for implementing concurrent engineering and playing a key role in RPD. Internet-based DFX or IDFX systems can be applied by manufacturing companies to rapidly produce high-quality products with low costs and thus higher profits. However, the implementation of IDFX systems is not an easy task. The reason is that many new techniques are involved in the application of the IDFX and the PD processes are normally sophisticated and vary with product development environments. In this paper, as illustrated by case studies, two typical applications of IDFX, i.e. Internet-based design for manufacture (IDFM) and Internet-based design for cost (IDFC) systems, are proposed for rapid and economical tool/ mould making. The structure and the key models of the systems are discussed.
