VISUALIZATION MODEL FOR PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

摘要: Nowadays, new business strategies as the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) are implemented by manufacturing industries in order to design and build better quality products more effectively. The PLM contributes improve product development process through efficient administration of all technical information involved. It operates multiple software solutions incorporates about product. Up now most companies only integrate from CAD/CAM/CAE into a database managed PDM system (Product Data Management). As matter fact this way proceding provides results for companies, such time/cost reduction production, Nevertheless important questions raise: these that people really need? Are developed taking account final user's viewpoint? them sustainable community environment? social, economical, environmental issues taken consideration? answer is usually 'no'. We must remember it correct but even 'the right' Human Centred Design (HCD) methodological approach which aims develop easy use, understand, worry-free users. HCD helps promote innovation starts within promotes concept "universal design" enable users' participation during entire product's lifecycle. Accordingly, crucial combine benefits strategy, PLM, with advantages social HCD. This work shows model incorporate based on different approaches, especially those related role Industrial Designer (‘Design X'). identifies what done (process areas activities), when (workflows), who does (roles - skills) how can be (methods tools) mainly designer's perspective. With support Master Science students, some case studies have been each single lifecycle process' area validate model. These evaluate convenience processes' tool ensured collected users deployed system. has focused Requirements Management, Design, Testing Configuration Change Management. elaborated proven convenient identification issues, make on-going improvements processes involving themselves. also applies principles promoting offering physical cognitive characteristics human beings
