Modern organization paradigms within manufacturing enterprises have arose in last years, like Agile Manufacturing and collaboration, in order for enterprises to increase their productivity and be more competitive in front of shorter due dates and increasing product qualities required by customers. Most previous works on PLM and currently available...

... processes must be carried out by an industrial enterprise having relationships both along the supply chain (with suppliers and customers), and with partners during product development and/or production. Considering this scenario, Figure 2 depicts a logistics and production oriented business process model. The model is based on two different (and somehow complementary) views of business processes in logistics ( CROXTON et al., 2001;FRAZELLE, 2002). ...

Products with new features need to be introduced on the market in a rapid pace and organizations need to speed up their development process. The ordinary way to develop products, one at a time, is not time efficient enough and is costly. Reuse has been suggested as a solution, but to achieve effective reuse within an organization a planned and proa...

This study introduces a methodology of knowledge acquisition and modeling for troubleshooting in automotive braking system. It is essential for constructing a knowledge base that can be maintained and shared. A knowledge base should not merely be a set of rules, but a framework of troubleshooting that can be controlled and customized by rules. For the construction of a knowledge base, identifying the types of knowledge components to be included is a prerequisite. To identify the knowledge components, this study employs a modeling methodology consisting of three sub-models: instance model, functional model and dynamic model. In addition, mechanisms for maintaining dependency relations of the troubleshooting descriptions at different locations and reasoning using the knowledge at different locations are also developed. The system is implemented using an object-oriented programming language. The proposed methodology is applied to the troubleshooting in automotive braking system.
