Background of PDM implementation |
The PDM industry is driven by major initiatives focused on improving the competitive position of industrial organizations. Traditionally, companies have emphasized quality improvements, cost reduction, time-to-market, and increased productivity. Today, Enterprise PDM solutions span departmental, functional, and geographical boundaries to integrate and manage data and processes which typically are among the most sophisticated, creative, and fundamental to an organization's success, specifically those supporting innovation and design-to-manufacture of the company's core differentiated product or products. What's more, technology and globalization of demand and competition have created an environment where companies must now innovate and manage entire product systems consisting of highly specialized mechanical, electronic, and software components, and must do so in a coordinated fashion across numerous geographically dispersed design and manufacturing facilities. WorkManager evolved as a means of helping companies innovate across this complexity, providing a common, coordinating infrastructure to manage increasingly distributed and differentiated people, tools, processes and intellectual property. |
In the past time, traditionally, most
of companies have concentrated their power on manufacturing system
such as MIS, MRP, procurement, like that. Therefore, it has been the most important issue that they shorten
the lead time and deliver their products in the market more quickly
than the competitor cutting the cost of development and production
remarkably. Samsung Aerospace Co.,ltd PDM project was carried out by 3 following step implementation step. - Set up "To-Be Processing"
for the best over-all efficiency and Design of PDM Detail
function as Intergrated Product Information System. |

PDM Data Structure |
Part Version BOM structure
Workflow Concept
|
As you can see above picture in which
PDM data structure is described,Contrary to conventional Engineering
DB,all related datas stems from BOM structure itself.and searching
and input is based on BOM structure which means engineering bom
is one factor of most important information in product related data
schema. Definition of work process a certain work group and individual, with consistancy, Business. gathering together and become so-called Workflow. but we are more familiar with business process than with workflow.and workflow represent company's own rule and way of doing job. which means something particular designed systemtically,consistently for managing work task Business process or Process consist of the following components. when data follow the process, it is affected by the business rule with changed added and modified and work members can accept or reject the modified data. in other word, people who are in charge collect data physically and transfer it to others and then next person do with the data. and he or she makes a decision of which person has to do the job the problem of this manual process is following as technology is getting more advanced, people is trying to find
the solution for the problem. Workflow s/w enables people to know all related information and people don't have to worry about tasks relatively less important. instead enabling focus on critical task. these days, commercial workflow package have a capacity of modeling business process, defining task, condition for branch. and then complete whole process. monitoring on-going process. from the point of system implementation, workflow is kind of DB sets of the process. which means not coding but DB handling. |
