Last decades IT evolution

1_ the road to designer work mechanization

• 70th culture: mass production man = weak point IT = opportunity to remove people from operational work

• End 70th 1st CAD stand alone work mechanization ROI at least 5 jobs inside the design or downstream chain. Typical CAD market : wiring, electronics, drawing“nice” successes, removing a lot of people from the working line, and interesting failures

• Mid 80th CADCAM support machine for itself. man activity no longer the key subject. Typical CAD market: :mechanical design CAD data exchange between different CAD systems, CAD data to CAM and to NC data, to fix bugs into CAD systems; migration support

Automatic control & scientific IT

Last decades IT evolution

2_ the road to concurrent engineering

• Detailed drawing files and plans 100% CAD-CAM (1990)

research of representations adapted to engineering data IT processing. features to improve CAD-CAM link increased automation

3D solid to model assemblies DMU & collective work

• DMU as a CAD tool to replace physical mock-ups & to share product vision illustration : AIT automotive and aerospace EU project (95) DMU modelling and methodology, 3D heterogeneous exchange 3D visualisation for project

reviews. Drawback: 3D CAD models limited in size, and parametric not easy to exchange.

• DMU as a PDM tool to be backbone of collective work illustration ENHANCE aircraft EU project, (98)

common models for data, milestones, review meeting, exchanges … heterogeneous data safe and fluid non collocated environments. DMU configured set of 3D parts, + other technical objects as drawings, documents, etc. to build a common product model.

Last decades IT for engineering evolution

3_ Synthesis and lesson learnt

• Leading vision = collective data production, not individual drawings or schemas data flow data exchange between people and IT machines, and data produced from other data, by people knowledge and software tools.

• New disciplines CAD mutation analogy last centuries mechanization. production system management; resources/process logistic and supportScattered handicraft resources expensive industrial machines + large teams, horizontal or vertical integration + standard machines machine prices decrease organisations kept, integration goes on. :

• Rational methods needed for industrial IT objects or machines. often a more “natural world” turn out to be a more abstract and rational one to set-up efficient IT collaborative environment colour, 3D visualisation, parametric codification, methods handbook, … virtual meetings meeting categorization, QoS, security, rendezvous management.

Collaborative large engineering : a managed system 

IT innovation an open field for engineers dream ?

daily reality of engineering sounds different

IT evolution is guided by management concepts & needs

Changes in engineering environment

 1_ the zero paper metaphor [decision support] 

Changes in work spaceillustration

IT innovationillustration

individual A0 size drawings boards « an

arm size, motion and memorization », A4/A3 reduced vision and motion

Zoom,multi-layers, tree-file; 3D accessbut increased degree of abstract as space being replaced by time+logic

No more quick look at drawings pinned to boards, to catch evolution

publish and subscribe ; interface information patterns (features); traced collaborative sessions

No more global vision of design office & people walking around can't provide unexpected useful feedbackNo more physical document cabinets

design review DMU + PDM .Multimedia annotation mechanismSemantic navigators (XML and ontologies)

Yellow pages, knowledge repository

lost of confidence and complicity as digital information can be send away and judged by unknown people

abstract document fluent management & ownership mechanisms supporting and ruling day to day worksafe networks

Changes in engineering environment

 2_ The break the wall metaphor [action]

• Before : sequential mature information, signature= responsibility signature mechanism : author/skill project_boss/product, office_boss/enterprise

document administrator in charge of import or export of validated data; engineering models organised for next step process

• Now: parallel immature information, ownership dynamic transfer down stream actor expects early upper “finished work” upstream actor expects early experiment (real, virtual) feedback data administrator in charge of rule and ownership administration etc. engineering (multi) models organised for interaction

Mature data transfer Immature data sharing

Changes in engineering environment

 3_The Hub metaphor [resources]

data hub with impersonal engineering put and get data. breaking the wall concept every one under pressure in an information loop

IT data and IT machines accelerate drastically data change and data transfer speed man in the loop

boss manages data indicators and data administrator control data speed.

 

counterweight : human factors + network model man “at the nodes” + IT assistance model of large and shared engineering between partners, with management of product/process frontiers and contractual responsibilities.

Practices in large engineering.

1_ collaborative structures

• Large organisations combine : OBS WBS PBS (decision,activity,integration) trees

• collaboration control through nodes - invariant upper nodes contractual (partnership, work package, inv_conf_item),

- intermediate nodes managed variant (baseline & effectivity)

- lowest relatively free for change.  

• life cycle evolution control through change propagation between trees

Practices in large engineering.

Key factors : size of the projects, number of partners, volume of produced data, wide net

huge set of methods :common rules and information exchange standards. (basic framework from military and space standards, & civil A/C practices

front wave effect many newcomers teaching & formal work methods (from some hundred designer in preliminary phases to thousands in core phases), have to learn

huge set of technical data : (mainly for product final integration and logistic)

- design activity a large data content editor, many update and releases- design activity a wide safe and fluent net user .
