PLM Workgroup Process, Methods and Tools

Analysis and synthesis method in use

The workgroup identified a set of ALM-PLM interoperability concerns to garner workgoup member contributions by way of scenarios. The scenarios were analysed and represented as an OMG SysML? 1.2 Activity diagram in topcased, with anotation. A textual narrative decription was produced on the wiki with an overview powerpoint.

This scenario led to an identification of key business entities and their relationships documented by way of a PLM Reference model in SysML? with additional anotation consistent with ISO 10303 STEP AP233 again using topcased

Tools in use
