[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of process design, and more particularly, to a digital process platform for model project management and its working method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of model products, their product compositions have become increasingly complex, and the customization phenomenon is serious. The production and manufacturing belong to the typical mode of multiple varieties and small batches. Affected by the work experience of process personnel, the design level of traditional document-based process design varies from person to person. Moreover, the unstructured process documents restrict the work efficiency of process design and process change. At the same time, the lack of structured manufacturing resource models and product model data leads to the inability to effectively complete the virtual verification in the model development process.

[0003] However, with the development of digital technology, the process design technology relying on digital process platforms has gradually matured and been widely applied in fields such as automobiles, rail transit, and aerospace, bringing huge changes to the manufacturing industry and also providing solutions to the process design dilemmas of enterprises with multiple varieties and small batches. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the requirements of high efficiency, high quality, and rapid response for process design in the development and delivery of model products, combined with the development trend of enterprise digital transformation, the present invention provides a digital process platform for model project management and its working method.

[0016] Change management is carried out through a change module, including design changes and process changes.

[0017] In some embodiments, the defined process attributes include:

[0018] After the platform receives the EBOM data in the PDCP system, it automatically creates mirror EBOM data and project tasks based on the EBOM system, and automatically creates process attribute definition tasks under the created project tasks according to the maintenance project information correspondence table system;

[0019] After the leading process engineer / project team receives the process attribute definition task, it selects the mirror EBOM data in the task and carries out process attribute definition according to the model project requirements, including attribute definition, process route definition, project instructions, selection of process review, and first-piece verification as required. After completion, it creates an initial PBOM, process route, and process attribute object based on the content of the process attribute definition.

[0020] In some embodiments, when defining process attributes, data in the project plan rule library is obtained for the project management / task management system, and the project time plan is defined according to the rule system, while manual modification of the project time plan is supported.

[0021] In some embodiments, the dispatching of process tasks includes:

[0022] After the process attribute definition is completed, process dispatching tasks are intelligently generated according to the rule system;

[0023] Each team leader carries out the process task dispatching business based on the process dispatching tasks; each professional process engineer pre-maintains the collaborative design registration form and material category library in the platform. On the process task dispatching page, the process task dispatching is assisted through system functions and the pre-maintained knowledge base, and the in-transit task quantity of all professional process engineers in the team and batch process task dispatching can be viewed.

[0024] In some embodiments, the carrying out of work design includes:

[0025] After the process task dispatching is completed, process design tasks are created according to the division of labor, and at the same time, the corresponding process preparation tasks are started according to different responsible persons. After the professional process engineer receives the process preparation task, process design activities are carried out; the professional process engineer conducts processability review through DFM tools and at the same time conducts manual process signature review;

[0026] When receiving the process preparation task, the professional process engineer conducts process attribute confirmation and initial PBOM data confirmation as required; if the process attributes need to be adjusted, the professional process engineer triggers a task through the platform to feedback the process attribute adjustment object and content, and at the same time notifies the leading process engineer;

[0027] After receiving the process attribute adjustment task, the leading process engineer checks the objects and contents that need to be adjusted for process attributes in the task, and then conducts the confirmation and handling of the process attribute adjustment; at the same time, notifies the relevant parties of the handling results for the process drafting task processing;

[0031] After receiving the man-hour quota task, the quota personnel carry out the man-hour quota compilation;

[0032] After the quota personnel have completed the man-hour quota compilation and submitted all of them, they are subject to approval at the approval node.

[0033] In some embodiments, after receiving the man-hour quota task, the quota personnel carry out the man-hour quota compilation in two ways:

[0034] Method 1: The quota personnel directly carry out the man-hour quota compilation;

[0035] Method 2: First, the platform automatically determines the man-hour quota based on the rules, and then the quota personnel verify the man-hour quota data of the platform based on the rules.

[0036] In some embodiments, the design change includes:

[0037] When the design changes, the updated EBOM data triggers the digital process platform to automatically conduct a change impact analysis and output the change comparison result;

[0038] Based on the change comparison result, the process engineer determines whether the process is involved in the change. If it is involved, continue with the process change process.

[0039] In some embodiments, the process change includes:

[0040] After the process change requirement is triggered, the corresponding personnel will receive a reminder of the corresponding process change requirement and carry out the change work as appropriate, including:

[0041] Process attribute change: The process engineer receives a reminder of process attribute change and changes the process attribute as required. The platform automatically updates the version mark for the new process attribute.

[0042] Initial PBOM change: The initial PBOM is inherited by the EBOM and some process information is added. The platform automatically completes the change according to the rules;

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0055] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Embodiment

[0057] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present invention provide a digital process platform for model project management, which is implemented as a software system platform. Through each page or interactive interface and the corresponding functional program modules, the respective functional modules for model project management are implemented, including:

[0058] A definition module for defining process attributes;

[0059] An assignment module for assigning process tasks;

[0060] A design module for performing process design;

[0061] A quota module for performing man-hour quotas;

[0062] A change module for performing change management, including design changes and process changes.

[0063] The working principle of the digital process platform for model project management is specifically as follows:

[0064] S1. Define process attributes through the definition module:

[0065] As Figure 2 shown, in the process attribute definition link, the roles involved are mainly the presiding process engineer / project team. It should be noted that the personnel referred to in this embodiment are usually implemented as role accounts in the platform and execute their respective responsible parts through the corresponding permissions.

[0066] Defining process attributes specifically includes:

[0067] After the platform receives the EBOM data in the PDCP system, it automatically creates mirror EBOM data and project tasks based on the EBOM system, and automatically creates process attribute definition tasks under the created project tasks according to the maintenance project information correspondence table system;

[0068] After the leading process engineer / project team receives the process attribute definition task, they select the mirror EBOM data in the task and carry out process attribute definition according to the model project requirements, including attribute definition, process route definition, project instructions, selection of process review, and first-piece inspection as required, etc. After completion, initial PBOM, process route, and process attribute object information are created based on the content of the process attribute definition to support the tasks in the next link.

[0069] In addition, when defining process attributes, data in the project plan rule library is obtained for the project management / task management system, and the project time plan is defined according to the rule system, while manual modification of the project time plan is supported.

[0070] S2: Dispatch process tasks through the dispatching module.

[0071] After the process attribute definition is completed, process dispatching tasks are intelligently generated according to the rule system. As Figure 3 shown, in the process task dispatching link, the main roles involved are team leaders and professional process engineers. The team leaders are responsible for the process task dispatching business, and the professional process engineers are responsible for receiving tasks.

[0072] Each team leader carries out the process task dispatching business based on the process dispatching task; each professional process engineer maintains the collaborative design registration form and material category library in real time in the platform. On the process task dispatching page, they can assist the team leader in carrying out reasonable process task dispatching through system functions and pre-maintained knowledge bases, and can support viewing the number of in-process tasks of all professional process engineers in the team and batch process task dispatching to ensure accurate and reasonable task dispatching.

[0073] S3: Carry out process design through the design module.

[0074] After the process task dispatching is completed, process design tasks are created according to the division of labor, and corresponding process drafting tasks are started according to different responsible persons. As Figure 4 shown, in the process design link, the main role involved is the professional process engineer, who is responsible for DFM review, process signature review, process attribute confirmation, initial PBOM confirmation, process flow planning, process material planning, process content editing, process resource planning, etc. Specifically:

[0075] After the professional process engineer receives the process drafting task, they carry out process design activities; the professional process engineer conducts processability review through DFM tools and simultaneously conducts manual process signature review;

[0076] When receiving a process preparation task, the professional process engineer shall confirm the process attributes and the initial PBOM data as required; if the process attributes need to be adjusted, the professional process engineer shall trigger a task through the platform to feedback the objects and contents of the process attribute adjustment (for example, fill in the specific process attribute adjustment content in the task description), and at the same time notify the leading process engineer, and the notification method can be common message notification methods, such as emails, etc.;

[0077] After receiving the process attribute adjustment task, the leading process engineer shall view the objects and contents that need to be adjusted in the task, and then confirm and handle the process attribute adjustment; at the same time, inform the relevant parties (the professional process engineer who triggered the attribute adjustment and the person who initiated the process preparation task) of the handling result (adjust / not adjust) to process the process preparation task;

[0078] After performing DFM review, process signature review, process attribute confirmation, and initial PBOM confirmation according to the actual business scenario, carry out the process specification compilation work, including process flow planning, process material planning, process content editing, and process resource planning; finally, with the assistance of the platform, carry out the specific work of the process preparation task according to the forms of professional business development.

[0079] The process flow planning is as follows: First, the platform automatically selects the process flow template with the highest probability according to the EBOM data (including name, number segment, etc.) and the defined process attributes, and provides possible similar process flow templates; the professional process engineer shall confirm the process flow template, and if it does not meet the current process compilation requirements, select from the similar process flow templates or make personalized modifications.

[0080] The process material planning is as follows: First, the platform makes a preliminary material plan according to the rules. (1) Some materials are highly bound to the process names. For example, various adhesives are bound to the "bonding" process, fasteners such as screws are bound to the "fitting" process, cables are bound to the "cable assembly" process, and solders are bound to the "soldering" process. The system will directly plan these materials into the corresponding processes. (2) Some materials may exist in multiple process names. For example, connectors may exist in both the "fitting" process and the "electrical installation" process. The system does not directly plan these materials, but gives a reminder of the possible planned processes. (3) The remaining materials have no associated relationship with the process names, and these materials are not planned by the system, and the professional process engineer shall adjust them into each process by himself.

[0081] The process content editing is as follows: The process flow template automatically selected by the platform already contains generalized process content, and the professional process engineer can supplement relevant process parameters or make personalized modifications in the process flow template.

[0082] It should be noted that professional technicians will review the design accuracy of the previous links with the help of the platform and transmit the problem information to their superiors in real time to ensure accuracy.

[0083] S4: Conduct man-hour rating through the rating module.

[0084] As Figure 5 shown, after the process design is completed, that is, after the professional technician has compiled the process specification and submitted it for review and approval, the platform creates a man-hour rating task according to the corresponding rules and distributes the man-hour rating task to the corresponding rating personnel;

[0085] After receiving the man-hour rating task, the rating personnel compile the man-hour rating;

[0086] After the rating personnel have completed and submitted all the man-hour ratings, they are subject to approval at the approval node.

[0087] Among them, there are two ways for the rating personnel to compile the man-hour rating after receiving the man-hour rating task:

[0088] Way 1: The rating personnel directly compile the man-hour rating;

[0089] Way 2: First, the platform automatically conducts man-hour rating based on the rules, and then the rating personnel verify the man-hour rating data of the platform based on the rules. In order to trace the subsequent man-hour errors of the man-hour rating data, different colors are used for marking. For example, the man-hour rating data generated by the system is gray. When the rating personnel verify the man-hour rating data of the platform based on the rules, if any modification is made, the modified man-hour rating data is black.

[0090] S5: Conduct change management through the change module, including design changes and process changes.

[0091] 1. Design change

[0092] As Figure 6 shown, when a design change occurs (including EBOM, product specifications, test outlines, etc.), the updated EBOM data is automatically sent to the digital process platform, triggering the digital process platform to automatically conduct a change impact analysis and output a change comparison result, including the addition and deletion of material types, quantity numbers, item numbers, version numbers, etc.

[0093] The technician makes a statement based on the change comparison result to determine whether a process change is involved. If a process change is involved, the technician selects the type of process change and initiates the process change process; or if a newly developed product is involved, it is transferred to the development process of the newly developed product.

[0094] 2. Process change

[0095] The process self-change process is divided into four scenarios: namely, process attribute change, initial PBOM change, process document change, and outsourced BOM change. For the above change elements, the respective process relationships are followed. The process document integrates the original change management method, and the process document change is managed through a change order.

[0096] For the convenience of process change automation and processization, as Figure 7 shown, a unified template is executed for the process change requirements, and the fields are as follows:

[0097] (1) Number;

[0098] (2) Trigger source;

[0099] (3) Trigger role;

[0100] (4) Trigger time;

[0101] (5) Process change description;

[0102] (6) Process change scenario (multiple selections are available, separated by "&");

[0103] (7) Completion time of change requirements;

[0104] (8) Whether the physical object is disposed of.

[0105] After the process change requirement is triggered, the corresponding person will receive a reminder of the corresponding process change requirement and carry out the change work as appropriate, including:

[0106] (1) Process attribute change: The host process engineer receives a reminder of the process attribute change, changes the process attribute according to the requirements, and the platform automatically updates the version mark for the new process attribute;

[0107] (2) Initial PBOM change: The initial PBOM is inherited from the EBOM and some process information is added, and the platform automatically completes the change according to the rules;

[0108] (3) Process document change: The professional process engineer receives a reminder of the process document change, modifies the process document, generates a new version of the process document and conducts review, man-hour quota, approval, and release of the process, and the platform automatically updates the version mark for the process document;

[0109] (4) Outsourced BOM change: The BOM data personnel receive a reminder of the outsourced BOM change, modify the outsourced BOM, and after review and approval, release it, and the platform automatically updates the version mark for the outsourced BOM.

[0110] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
