“…However, due to the rapid development of social and technical, the market environment has changed more and more quickly. Therefore, the production process will become more complex and comprehensive, the main features of the production process are presented: (1)the Greater mutation; (2)the greater uncertainty; (3)the greater complexity; (4)the greater rate of change; (5)the greater diversity; (6)the smaller stability; (7)the smaller identity; (8)the smaller ability of predict [2]. Trough the production process which have the higher degree of uncertainly and unpredictability, the conception of Engineering changes come forward.…”

The version change, which cannot be considered as an independent process, is a fundamental factor for designing the workflow model. Due to that the traditional workflow model is unidirectional, it could not identify the range of version change and restart the tasks which are need to be changed. This paper proposes a workflow model, which is implemented using tree structure as basis. This model is based on task-relationships and takes version change as an influential factor for workflow management, by analyzing the attributes of tasks as well as the physical and logical relationships among tasks, it identifies proper ranges of version change of workflow without breaking data consistency, therefore it reduces the unnecessarily repeated task performing when version change happens, which helps achieving the goal of reducing project investment. Furthermore, this model helps to build strong workflow restarting mechanism which is more compatible for version change, thus workflow can be restarted and tasks can be performed efficiently after the ranges of version change are identified. In sum, this model ensures the controllability and spontaneity of workflow, which is useful for supporting workflow reliably and efficiently.

“…Workflow management coalition defined 6 kinds of typical control structure for the workflow execution, they are: Sequence, AND -split, AND -join, OR-split, ORjoin and Loop [1][2][3][4]. In this paper, combining the control structure above with the binary tree structure, it defined the routing schema of nodes within a tree-shape workflow.…”

“…As the key part to implement PDM project for the enterprise, process management is the core technology to realize the business process automation [2]. Take use of the theory of knowledge for detailed analysis, design and modeling not only can regulate enterprise business process, but also the established business process model is a very important knowledge base and rule base, which can guide enterprises to implement computer management information system [6].…”

Abstract. For modeling the organizational form of business activities in complex production processes, a workflow model based on binary tree for process management in PDM is presented in this paper. Take use of binary tree structure, each business activity is organized by the relationship of parent-child and brotherhood as the node of the binary tree, simulating the organization form of the actual production process. With introductions of elementary structure unit, the binary tree node, including type, state and constraints, it illustrates scheduling algorithms of node and mechanisms of control patterns and state transition. Finally, with a simple project template case study, we can find that this model is easy to implement overall control of process and has a good adaptability to process changes.
