Abstract
This paper details a product data model developed to improve both the design process and serve as a basis for a PLM implementation. It focuses on products with a large variant spectrum both from a market and a technical perspective. The data model was used to implement a product architecture process within a large commercial vehicle manufacturer, and the paper reflects on the result from this implementation.
Keywords: product architecture, data model, variant management
