Research on Collaborative Design and Manufacturing for Civil Aircraft

Abstract:

The collaborative design and manufacturing is applied in the aircraft industry. This paper introduces the collaborative design and manufacturing mode in aircraft industry and presents its structural framework. The data is managed in the structure of BOM and there are two ways to share the data between the suppliers. The collaborative design and manufacturing process reflects the concept of concurrent engineering. The collaborative design and manufacturing system has been applied in the project of C919 which could sharply shorten the research cycle and reduce the product cost.
