Product Knowledge and Lifecycle Management in Project-Based Manufacturing

Abstract:

Changes taking place in project-based manufacturing emphasize the importance of agile manufacturing, product knowledge management and product lifecycle information. The paper describes dependencies between product definition and production strategy covering also other potential areas of research i.e. growth of industrial service business and development of manufacturing and supply networks. As an outcome it can be argued that more research is needed to align product lifecycle management in project-based manufacturing, as well as to cover the evolving information needs of internal and external stakeholders. Due to the increase of industrial services, also services should be included as a part of product definition; the extended product description introduces a new set of requirements that need to be taken into account as a part of product and production strategy definition.
