Integration of PDM, ERP and MES through Single Source of Product Data for Product Design and Development

The increasing product diversity and sophistication have demanded an integrated system which can integrate subsystems of an enterprise. The purpose of this research work is to efficiently use all resources available in a manufacturing enterprise by developing a fully integrated system. The proposed system uses the electronic data processing methods together with new database techniques. A framework based on single source of product data (SSPD) system is established to completely integrate the different subsystem of production line. The SSPD framework describe the product data generation, transmission and processing of a production line. The SSPD system validation is carried out by implementing the system in an aerospace enterprise. Before implementing the system the step wise integration and function test was performed and documented.
