Study on Degree of Engineering Changes Based on Product Family

Abstract:

In order to get the total Degree of Engineering Changes for product family (EDC_KBOM), which can help enterprise to select a scheme of Engineering Changes (EC) with a minor EDC_KBOM and analyze the type of change propagation for the CE in the product family, the Knowledge-body based on Bill of Material (KBOM) model was built for representing domain-specific knowledge, which was described as trial(GUS, CUS, GUR) and manifested as an AND/OR tree structure. Then, a complete solution system based on recursive algorithm was designed to compute the EDC_KBOM. Finally, an example was given, and the approach was proved to be efficient and practical.
