DATA-FEEDBACK LOOP FROM PRODUCT LIFECYCLE INTO DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING

摘要

A computer-implemented method for generating an optimal design of a product based on a data-feedback loop from product lifecycle into design and manufacturing information includes using a plurality of product lifecycle models to select an optimal design for the product. Each product lifecycle model corresponds to one of a plurality of product lifecycle stages. During each of the plurality of product lifecycle stages, a product lifecycle dataset is collected from one or more stakeholders using a web-based digital thread and the collected product lifecycle datasets are stored in a database. The plurality of product lifecycle models are up dated using the stored product lifecycle datasets and used to select a new optimal design for the product.
