Abstract

In today’s fiercely competitive market, in order to survive and develop, enterprises must possess a high degree of flexibility and rapid response capability. The same requirements also stand true for the parts information sharing. In the new collaborative product commerce (CPC), in particular, this kind of information sharing is a challenge. The traditional parts library (Plib), designed as enterprise-level, is unable to provide flexible and effective information sharing in CPC. Considering the principle of virtual organization in CPC, teams’ potential information capacity is exploited. And a team-oriented parts information sharing platform is proposed. This platform consists of the team-oriented parts information model based on Plib standard, the architecture of this platform, and three types of parts information sharing patterns. As a result of this approach, the efficiency of the parts-information sharing is improved significantly.
