Abstract
The stages of an industrial product life-cycle can be described using process networks. A more generic and complete modeling is requested to improve the effectiveness of the knowledge life-cycle management related to the product.
Three aspects have to be considered.
• First, knowledge is extracted from specific processes and is often of a high complexity level. It is used by different users at different times, transmitted from one user to one another even if they are concerned by different points of view.
• Second, modeling is highly influenced by the used software that often considers particular views. The consequences are information redundancy, lack of integration of the different views and lack of information completeness.
• Third, knowledge is not static: the whole enterprise processes affect it. As a result, the transformations of knowledge have to be modeled but this is still a major difficulty for the usual models.
Consequently, a new generic and structuring model based on the FBS concepts (Function, Behavior and Structure) is proposed. These concepts are applied to four objects (PPRE): the Processes, the Products (objects stemming from the processes), the Resources (objects needed to realize the processes) and the External effects (constraints having an influence on the processes).
