Features of data management in PLM customised for ship design adopting engineering to order strategy

摘要

Appropriate PLM system should be implemented with consideration of the design and manufacturing features of the industry. Data management of PLM system for ship design is discussed to reflect the characteristics of product design as well as the manufacturing strategy adopted by shipbuilding. Assuming shipbuilding industries adopt an ETO strategy significantly different from ATO, requirements for the functional applications, product structures, and architectures of shipbuilding PLM are discussed in order to appropriately implement the PLM for shipbuilding industry. The present paper suggests the functional applications and architecture of PLM for ship design process after the features of PLM for both the automotive and shipbuilding industry are compared. Thereafter, PLM architecture that considers the differences between ATO and ETO industries is discussed by the perspective view of data management in beginning of life.
