Model-based Approach for Product Requirement Representation and Generation in Product Lifecycle Management
… collection of certain information to specify the product and its life-cycle activities in terms of functions, features, performance, constraints, production, maintenance, disposal process, etc. It contains mainly two phases; product requirement generation and representation. Appropriate criteria …

BIO-INSPIRED DESIGN METHODOLOGY BASED ON A SEMANTIC MAP, USEABLE IN CAD ENVIRONMENT
New product development forms part of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) which starts with the idea generation phase. This first step exerts an enormous impact on the reduction of costs and could subsequently produce a high return on investment. That is the underlying motivation for this research, …

Discrete event simulation based study of a PLM software network
… describing the data storage and data flow in a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software network has been developed in this study. Discrete event simulation (DES) has been used to represent this flow of data and queuing models have been used to represent the hardware components of the network. …

Integrated Framework for Aircraft Design and Assembly Tradeoffs
… demand for 40,000 new aircraft by 2040. Aircraft production rates have been rising to meet this demand, but delivery backlogs are growing at even faster rates. Large backlogs can lead to missed deliveries, canceled orders, and traffic congestion due to too few planes for too many passengers. This …
