Implementing a service-oriented PLM architecture focusing on support for engineering change management

• The aim of the study is to implement a service-oriented architecture(SOA) and evaluate its applicability to an industrial case, using PLM services2.0. This paper focuses on IT support for engineering change management(ECM). ECM is a cross-functional process including several technology fieldsand life cycle stages. The product information is accessible from a servicelayer where it is either used directly by the user or provided as input toknowledge-based engineering (KBE) applications which simulate and analysethe impact of an engineering change. It is concluded that SOA is an efficientarchitecture that enables integration of KBE applications. PLM services 2.0 is acompetent new standard that needs improvements regarding documentation andmore detail. In general, it can be concluded that it is necessary to invest more indata management and support capabilities, and that SOA contributes to takingbetter control of the business logic in comparison with other PLM architectures.
