Workflow Methodology for Collaborative Design and Manufacturing

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 4674)

Abstract

During product development processes, collaboration has become a common practice between different departments and companies that are involved in their activities. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools can facilitate collaboration among distributed teams within the context of an extended enterprise, but the efficient use of them is still hard to achieve. In this work, we propose a workflow based approach in order to implement product development collaboration, focusing the discussion on a case study of the integration of design and manufacturing activities, using workflow functionality offered by PLM software.
