Implementation of Synchronous Mechanism in Collaborative Process Planning

Abstract:

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has been considered as a promising approach for developing process planning systems and optimizing process plans. Process planning based on CSCW is inevitable for reducing manufacturing preparation time and costs through concurrent and collaborative engineering. Since process planning is a huge and complex job, several process planners should execute planning together. Therefore, information exchange in collaborative process planning is very frequent and the synchronization for each user has a decisive influence in collaborative process planning system. In this research, expression of process documents based on XML is studied and the method that process documents are mapped into XML documents is described. Implementation of synchronous mechanism is presented to develop the system of collaborative process planning.
