Conclusion
- 'Classical' document-based workflow supports formal engineering activities.
- For the support of creative engineering activities product data controlled workflow functionality is required.
-
Parameters represent the smallest product data element.
-
Defined system and interface parameters can be used
-
to identify the need for communication in the supply chain (parameter checklist / network),
-
to initiate the communication (notification),
-
for document-free quality assurance (parameter approval and release).
-
Parameter-based engineering workflow management represents and evolutionary step in today's PDM technology.
