Complex Product Collaborative Development Framework

China has not formed an advanced and mature collaborative development model based on information technology in the key industry fields of complex products. Aiming at the problem, a collaborative development frame - work of complex products based on the commercial PLM system is constructed in the paper. Combining with the research of representative projects, such as Boeing B787, Airbus A380 and ARJ21 of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd., the characteristics of complex product development is analyzed, the collaborative development hiberarchy based on systems engineering is explored, and the general function framework which support the whole life cycle and the entire supplier network of complex product development is put forth and realized based on the commercial PLM system. The project practice shows that the framework can effectively perform the integration of cross-regional, multi-heterogeneous systems and the unified management of data.
