The Development of Car-body-in-white Resource Information Management Software Based on PDM
Complexity of car-body-in-white resource management was analyzed, and importance of car-body-in-white line resource management system was discussed. Realization methods and developing techniques of car-body-in-white line resource management system based on PDM technique with Visual C++ were researched and analyzed in detail. With the system, car-body-in-white resource information can be managed with computer, and the problems, which exist in car-body-in-white process planning, are resolved.
In the overall ownership cost of enterprise system, the maintenance cost consists of a major percentage. During the lifetime of an enterprise system, process customization is the most frequent maintenance efforts. However, current processing method has limited scalability and efficiency. In this case study, we explained how a scalable and efficient customization processing method was implemented. This method used the carbon emission trading mechanism to facilitate the cost benefit analysis of customization request. It also used distributed processing principle to improve the overall processing efficiency. Feedback from a pilot implementation in a large manufacturer included.
