Collaborative Design and Supervision Processes Meta-Model for Rationale Capitalization

Abstract

Companies act today in a collaborative way, and have to master their product design and supervision processes to remain productive and reactive to the perpetual changes in the industrial context. To achieve this, authors propose a three-layers framework. In the first layer, the design process is modelled. In the second, the traces related to the decisional process are captured. In the third, both the collected traces and the design context model are used to support decision-making. In this paper, authors address the first two issues by proposing a meta-model that allows one to capture the process’ decisional knowledge. The proposal is presented and then illustrated in a case study.
