Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to aircraft research and development and manufacturing, and more particularly to a supplier change notification system in an aircraft engineering change process. Background Art

[0002] The large civil aircraft project is an extremely complex system engineering project, consisting of multiple systems, subsystems and their components. The R&D and manufacturing of these systems and subsystems are carried out by different levels of supply chains. Therefore, the R&D and manufacturing of complex industrial products such as civil aircraft are composed of separate R&D and manufacturing activities of different levels of supply chains corresponding to their systems and subsystems. Since suppliers at different levels have their own separate R&D and manufacturing configuration status and their corresponding product design and manufacturing control methods, when the design information of a system or subsystem supply chain changes, the impact on the upper-level system must be evaluated and approved to ensure that the final product meets the pre-set technical status of the requirements. Therefore, in the R&D and manufacturing process of civil aircraft products, it is crucial to ensure that the changes and implementation plans of suppliers at all levels are effectively transmitted, evaluated and approved. Due to the complexity of civil aircraft industrial products, the evaluation and approval of some design changes may be at several levels above this design activity, and involve multiple systems, disciplines and interfaces. The typical process of design requirement transmission from the design holder / design licensor to the supplier and the evaluation of the supplier's change return design plan is as follows: Figure 1 as shown in . Figure 1 The design holder / design authorizer in this context refers to the organization responsible for product design or design changes that holds a design approval authorized by the regulatory authority (for example, an aircraft manufacturer with a type certificate (TC)), and the design activity refers to the subcontractor / supplier that has design capabilities and provides deliverables to customers.

[0003] Among the many changes that occur during the R&D and manufacturing process of civil aircraft products, some are minor changes that can be directly evaluated and decided by the designer who made the change; some are major changes that must be evaluated and decided by the main manufacturer / integrator. In order to coordinate the rapid, accurate and efficient transmission, coordination, evaluation and approval of change information between different units, systems and professions, a method and system for supplier change notification data exchange is urgently needed to accurately analyze and transmit the specific content, impact scope, implementation plan, etc. of the change.

[0004] Currently, information about supplier changes is delivered to customers via (e-)mail or special file transfer methods, and then online or offline communication is conducted with customers. Customers deliver their opinions on the changes to suppliers in the form of (e-)mail or special files. Such delivery of supplier change information often requires a lot of repeated offline or online communication to discuss and deliver the specific content and impact of the change.

[0005] As mentioned above, since the R&D and manufacturing of complex civil aircraft products involve the R&D and manufacturing of multiple systems, subsystems and their component supply chains, supplier changes need to be passed to a higher level for evaluation and approval. Due to the high complexity of civil aircraft products, a large number of changes will occur during the R&D and manufacturing process, and these changes may involve multiple systems, professions and interfaces. Therefore, accurately and efficiently passing these supplier changes and implementation plans to the corresponding evaluation and approval parties (depending on the different changes, the affected parties are different, and the decision-making approval parties are also different) will have an important impact on the entire R&D and manufacturing progress of the product and the quality and safety of the product itself. At present, the way to pass supplier changes is to directly pass them to the corresponding approval parties by directly sending emails or corresponding program files. By directly sending the change content, the change can be quickly passed to the customer, but after the transmission, a lot of online and offline communication with the customer is required to determine the impact and implementation of the change. The current way of changing is not only inefficient and wastes a lot of time and cost, but also ignores the key influencing factors of some changes, causing customers to make mistakes in judging supplier changes.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an efficient and fast supplier change notification system to deliver supplier changes and change implementation plans to customers in a complete, rapid and efficient manner. Customers can then quickly determine the impact of the changes on them in the system and make a quick judgment on the implementation of the changes. Summary of the invention

[0028] Figure 2 The schematic structural diagram of the supplier change notification system 200 according to the present invention is explained. The supplier change notification system 200 may include a supplier change notification creation module 101, a supplier change notification impact assessment module 102, and a supplier change notification customer feedback module 103. These modules may be implemented by software, hardware, and / or a combination of software and hardware. For example, in one embodiment, the supplier change notification system 200 may further include a hardware device 104, which may include a logic calculation processor 208, an input and output display device 209, and a storage device 210, and may implement the supplier change notification creation module 101, the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102, and the supplier change notification customer feedback module 103.

[0029] In one embodiment, the supplier change notification creation module 101 can be configured to create a supplier change notification when the supplier needs to make an engineering change to the aircraft and assign the supplier change notification to the corresponding customer. The supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 can be configured to evaluate the substantive content of the change and the impact of the change based on various influencing factors. The supplier change notification customer feedback module 103 can be configured to provide a customer editable page to feedback the customer's opinions on the change. In this embodiment, the supplier change notification creation module 101 can be further configured to: preliminarily classify the changes; and if the preliminary classification indicates that the change is a customer-authorized change that can be decided by the supplier at its own discretion, directly create a supplier change notification, otherwise create a supplier change notification based on the evaluation results of the supplier change notification impact assessment module.

[0030] In one embodiment, the supplier change notification creation module 101 may include: a customer and supplier identification module 201, which is configured to identify customers and suppliers; a customer assignment module 202, which is configured to assign the created supplier change notification to the customer; a supplier change notification editing module 203, which is configured to create a supplier change notification; and a change classification judgment initial module 211, which is configured to perform a preliminary classification of the change to determine whether the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 needs to perform auxiliary change impact analysis. In this embodiment, the change classification judgment initial module 211 may further include: a customer authorization change preset module 309, which is configured to preset a change classification that can be decided by the supplier independently; and a change classification judgment module 310, which is configured to determine whether the change needs to be assisted by the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 for change impact analysis based on the preset change classification that can be decided by the supplier independently. In this embodiment, the supplier change notification editing module 203 may further include: a change acceptance judgment module 304, which is configured to fill in the change acceptance type; an initiator information generation module 305, which is configured to generate the information of the initiator of the change; a customer information generation module 306, which is configured to generate customer information; a change part identification module 307, which is configured to identify the changed part that has changed; and a change detailed description module 308, which is configured to describe the details of the change.

[0031] In one embodiment, the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 may include: an impact selection module 204, which is configured to select impact factors related to the change assessment; an impact judgment logic module 205, which is configured to perform change assessment based on the selected impact factors to determine the substantive content of the change and the main impact of the change; an impact factor judgment and conclusion association database 206, which is configured to index the change nature and impact in the associated database based on the evaluation results of the impact judgment logic module; and a conclusion analysis and output module 207, which is configured to feedback the specific impact content of the change to the customer and give relevant suggestions. In this embodiment, the impact selection module 204 may further include: an impact factor setting module 301, which is configured to select impact factors for change assessment; an impact factor editing module 302, which is configured to edit impact factors, including adding or reducing impact factors, setting of impact factor sub-questions, etc.; and an impact factor selection logic judgment module 303, which is configured to judge the selection range and selection order of impact factors to improve the efficiency of impact assessment.

[0032] Figure 3 The working logic diagram 300 of the supplier change notification system according to the present invention is explained. As shown in the working logic diagram 300, the supplier change notification creation module 101 can provide user work permissions and identification, assist in the filling of supplier change notification forms, and the assignment of change notifications, and at the same time provide an initial judgment function to make decisions or conclusions on customer authorized changes. The supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 can assist users in making judgments on change categories and corresponding change implementation suggestions through the built-in impact selection module 204, impact judgment logic module 205, impact factor judgment and conclusion association database 206, and conclusion analysis and output module 207. The supplier change notification customer feedback module 103 can be used to support customers in viewing change notification forms, and at the same time provide change decision feedback functions. In addition, the hardware device 104 can provide a logic calculation storage function to support the circulation and logic calculation of change notification forms.

[0033] Figure 4The general workflow diagram 400 of the supplier change notification system according to the present invention is explained. In stage 420, when the supplier determines whether a change needs to be notified to the upper-level user (or customer) during the engineering change process, the supplier enters the supplier change notification system to initiate the change notification process. In stage 430, the change classification judgment initial module 211 (for example, by presetting the change type and change item authorized by the customer) determines whether the supplier is allowed to directly initiate the change or approve the change. For example, the change classification judgment initial module 211 can determine whether the change can be decided at the supplier level. If it can be decided at the supplier level, directly enter stage 450, otherwise enter stage 440. In stage 440, the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 is used to assist in classifying the changes, and to draw recommended conclusions and implementation status to assist in filling out the supplier change notification form. For example, the supplier fills in the influencing factor setting module 301 according to the influencing factor selection logic judgment module 303; the influencing factor judgment and conclusion association database 206 indexes the change nature and impact according to the result of the influencing judgment logic module 205; the conclusion analysis and output module 207 feeds back the customer the specific change impact content and gives relevant suggestions. In stage 450, a supplier change notification form is created in the supplier change notification form editing module 203, and information such as supplier identification, change reason, change plan information, and change implementation suggestions are filled in. In stage 460, the customer assignment module 202 assigns the change and assigns the change information to the corresponding customer in a timely manner. For example, the supplier change notification form generated by the supplier change notification form editing module 203 is delivered to the corresponding customer through the customer assignment module 202. In stage 470, the customer determines whether the change needs to be implemented, when to implement, and whether there are other implementation conditions based on the supplier change notification form, and prepares a customer feedback form. In stage 480, the design change is implemented or terminated.

[0034] Figure 5 The following is a flowchart 500 of a supplier change notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5As shown, at stage 510, the supplier generates a change through judgment. At stage 520, the change is judged as a change authorized by the customer and can be decided by the initial module 211 through the change classification judgment. At stage 530, the change acceptance type is filled in through the change acceptance judgment module 304. At stage 540, the specific information of the change is filled in and the supplier change notification is generated through the supplier change notification editing module 203. For example, the supplier change notification is edited through the initiator information generation module 305, the customer information generation module 306, the change part identification module 307, and the change detailed description module 308 respectively. At stage 550, the supplier change notification is assigned through the customer assignment module 202 to be transmitted to the corresponding customer. At stage 560, the customer judges and decides on the change according to the supplier change notification. At stage 570, the decision on the change is fed back through the supplier change notification customer feedback module 103. The entire process is supported and carried out by the hardware device 104.

[0035] Figure 6 600 of a supplier change notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Figure 6 As shown, at stage 610, the supplier generates a change through judgment. At stage 620, the change is judged as a change that is not authorized by the customer and can be decided by the initial module 211 through the change classification judgment, and it cannot be judged by itself. Therefore, at stage 630, the impact of the change is judged by the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 to obtain an auxiliary judgment decision. For example, the supplier change notification impact assessment module 102 provides the change impact category and conclusion to assist in filling in the supplier change notification form. At stage 640, the supplier change notification form editing module 203 is used to fill in the specific information of the change and generate the supplier change notification form. For example, the supplier change notification form is edited by the initiator information generation module 305, the customer information generation module 306, the change part identification module 307, and the change detailed description module 308 respectively. At stage 650, the supplier change notification form is assigned by the customer assignment module 202 to be transmitted to the corresponding customer. At stage 660, the customer makes a judgment and decision on the change according to the supplier change notification form. In stage 670, the decision of the change is fed back through the supplier change notification customer feedback module 103. The whole process is supported by the hardware device 104.
