Object-Oriented Modeling for Product Developing Process and It's Management System

To resolve the technical difficulty of managing the product developing process, an object model for product developing process is provided by using the object oriented methodology. In this model, the constituent objects including activity, transition, data, participant, application tool and resource as well as the relations between them are identified and discussed in detail. According to this model, a function framework of the process managing system is also proposed. Based on the object model and the function framework, product developing process and product information flow can be efficiently managed and controlled. As a result, costly errors and duplicate efforts are avoided in the product developing process, which is useful for shortening development cycle and improving product quality.
