Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
In order to deal with global competition, manufacturers have to develop innovative, sustainable, high added-value, high quality products. Cooperation among companies is necessary to share product development capabilities, costs and potential risks. Information systems such as PLM, ERP and MES must be deployed and reciprocally integrated to improve the efficacy of this collaboration. In this paper, we focus on PLM-MES cooperation: the former system manages relevant product information to meet client specifications; the latter analyzes real-time data collected at the shop-floor (e.g. through a set of sensors installed on the machines) and extracts useful data concerning the as-is state of the process or product. The information generated by MES can be used as a feedback to redesign or revise manufacturing operations, in order to enhance the quality of the product and the performance of the production process. This experience-driven knowledge must be integrated in the PLM, to be available for future production, even in different places or for cooperating companies. In this paper, we show an application in the field of aeronautics, in which produced parts must meet very high quality.
