Abstract

In this paper the processing and modelling of product use information raised by graphical methods on the basis of a praxis and application scenario. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ensures a uniform data basis for supporting numerous engineering and economic organisational processes along the entire product life cycle – from the first product idea to disposal or recycling of the product respectively. The Product Use Information (PUI) -e.g. condition monitoring data, failures or incidences of maintenance- of many instances of one product type is generated in the product use phase. The processing and modelling of PUI raised by graphical methods like Bayesian Networks. In accordance, the product use knowledge leads back to the product development phase and is used for discovering room for product improvements of the next product generation. Therefore the PUI of the different instances should be aggregated by applying fusion techniques to deduce/achieve generalized product improvements for a product type. As a result this paper reveals a novel approach of applying new feedback mechanism of PLM for product improvements.
