Abstract
To improve development efficiency of auto-body and shorten development cycle, Product Data Management (PDM) technique was applied in the auto-body design process. At first general framework and implementation environment were established for the PDM system, which was integrated with auto-body development process and based on computer network and distributed computer systems. Then the main function modules were developed for auto-body products supported by Oracle 8i database, and, it was successfully applied in the light truck development project management of an auto manufacturer in China. The result of this application indicates that this could effectively manage product data of auto-body development, greatly improve auto-body development efficiency and support the concurrent engineering of auto-body products.
