PLM interopérable pour la conception intégrée et le travail collaboratif en aéronautique

Résumé - L’entreprise étendue devrait permettre de répondre aux objectifs bien connus de l’industrie aéronautique, à savoir réduire le temps de mise sur le marché, réduire les coûts de développement et partager les risques entre les partenaires. La réalisation d’un tel concept ne pourra passer qu’à travers des approches comme l’ingénierie collaborative, qui vise à lier les départements en charge du développement produit entre les différents partenaires du projet. Dans ce cadre, le succès des plateformes dites « d’ingénierie collaborative » est devenu une des préoccupations majeures des principaux acteurs industriels de l’aérospatial. En même temps, les aéronefs se complexifient indéniablement et sont même déjà hautement pluridisciplinaires. C’est pourquoi, la collaboration dans les projets de développement produit se doit de supporter la conception intégrée. Après avoir fait une brève relecture de la littérature sur ces différents concepts, ce papier présentera les spécifications d’une plateforme d’ingénierie collaborative à destination de l’industrie aéronautique : La plateforme SEINE (Standard pour l’Entreprise Innovante Numérique Etendue). Puis nous verrons comment une telle plateforme pourrait être enrichie en matière de conception intégrée. Abstract - Well known challenges in Aeronautic industry, namely reduced time to market, lower development costs and shared risks between partners, could be reached thanks to the innovative design methods supported by PLM technologies. Reaching such objective will be allowed through methods like integrated design or collaborative engineering enabling close exchanges between the project partners. In fact, the success of PLM platforms in supporting such methods is becoming one of the major stakes in the global networking organization. At the same time, aircrafts are obviously systems integrating multidisciplinary technologies and companies are highly multiple expertises. This paper proposes a survey on integrated design methods, PLM technologies and related subjects. It also presents the specification and the development of a collaborative design platform, as part of SEINE project (Standard pour l’Entreprise Innovante Etendue), aiming to improve collaboration in French aeronautics supply chain. Finally, this paper proposes how to include multiple expertise and integrated design in this “platform supporting” partners collaboration

Infrastructure PLM pour la capitalisation et la réutilisation de données en conception mécanique

La conception collaborative entraîne la spécification et le développement d'outils de support de plus en plus complexes et variés. Les outils de gestion du cycle de vie (PLM – Product Lifecycle Management) offrent une large gamme de fonctionnalités pour la conception collaborative. Ces produits permettent de rapprocher les utilisateurs en leur fournissant des plateformes logicielles identiques. De plus, les besoins croissant de réutilisation des données conduisent les utilisateurs à définir des règles et des paramètres permettant d'enrichir leurs modèles numériques pour faciliter d'éventuelles modifications. Cependant, si les logiciels experts offrent pour la plupart des possibilités de définition de règles métiers, force est de constater qu'aucun PLM, à l'heure actuelle, ne propose de fonctionnalités de ce type. Dans ce contexte, cet article propose de comparer sur la base de critères techniques et organisationnel les principales architecture PLM existantes. Cette comparaison permet d'identifier une architecture pertinente pour le développement de fonctionnalités de gestion de règles expertes intégrées à l'application PLM

Integrated Design and PLM Applications in Aeronautics Product Development

Well known challenges in Aeronautic industry, namely reducing time to market, risks and development costs, could be reached thanks to innovative design methods supported by PLM technologies. Such methods are based on integrated design or collaborative engineering enabling close exchanges and cooperation between the project partners. The paper proposes a survey on integrated design methods and PLM technologies. It presents the development of a collaborative design platform, as part of SEINE project, which aims to improve partners’ cooperation in the French aeronautics supply chain. The paper also discusses how to include multiple expertises and integrated design in this collaborative platform

Traceability and Structuring of Decision‐Making

International audienceThis chapter discusses how to capture knowledge from cooperative decision making. In computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), there is a lot of work in design rationale as a support of cooperative decision making. Methods in CSCW can be classified in two principal categories: decision‐making‐driven representation and problem‐solving dynamics representation. When studying decision‐making in cooperative activity, negotiation and conflict management are the main tasks to deal with. Three types of methods can be distinguished in conflict management: prevention, argumentation, conflict detection and conflict solving methods. Traceability of design rationale must be first integrated in the decision‐making process and second offers techniques that help to keep track of collaborative decision‐making from meetings, interactions, etc. A product life cycle management (PLM) platform allows managing the product data along its life cycle process: specification, design and manufacturing and requires efficient traceability functionalities, often based on the definition of standards

An approach to keep track of project knowledge in design

International audienceDesign projects are cooperative activities in which several actors from several fields work together in order to rich a goal. The challenge is how to keep track of knowledge from daily work in this type of activity. Projects documents are not sufficient to be analysed to extract this type of knowledge. This paper presents techniques to acquire and represent knowledge from design projects. A specific approach has been developed in order to keep track of meetings and to link design rationale to organizations elements and to results of a project. This approach has been integrated to designers’ environment using Product Life Cycle Tool

How to learn from design project knowledge

International audienceTo enhance learning in an organisation, the knowledge modelling has to emphasise the 'know-what and know-how' (Colin and Spender, 1998; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). In our work, we aim at representing the 'knowing what' and 'knowing about' of a cooperative activity. In other terms, we tend to emphasise knowledge produced in a cooperative activity (design projects) and its context. Our approach tends to extract knowledge from collaborative decision meetings in a structured way and links this knowledge as a smart index to documents and data produced in a design projects. The challenge is how to extract knowledge from a project organisation that is a virtual one. So, a specific approach has been developed in order to keep track of meetings and to link design rationale to organisations elements and to results of a project

Knowledge Classification for Design project memory

International audienceDesign projects have evolved to be collaborative, concurrent and multi-disciplinary. Due to these changes, knowledge management for design projects faces new challenges. Efforts has been made to save design project information in order to build a knowledge repository. However, project information without context can prove to be impossible to reuse. Hence a new knowledge engineering solution is called for to represent design information with its context, and necessary classification is required for knowledge extraction
