Forming a Rule Base for Product Lifecycle Management Systems

The production tasks often contains the integration of a product lifecycle management (PLM) systems and a third-party information systems (IS). This system may not be part of the PLM complex, but provides information support for managing production processes. An analyst is currently responsible for carrying out the integration. He must form a structural and process models of the integrated information system to make interaction rules with the system. During the operation process, besides the analyst, there is an operator involved, who performs maintaining the relevance of the integrated information system data and the entire complex, and a decision maker, who performs managing the integrated information system, namely maintaining its operational state. An approach is to reduce the load both on the analyst, who configures the interaction and display of data, and on the operator, who is involved in ensuring the relevance of data structures, and on the decision-maker, who is involved in making important decisions related to risks in production. The novelty is in using data-based management by forming a data meta-model of the integrated information system based on the analysis of its storage; mapping of the data of PLM systems and the integrated information system on the enterprise through the use of a rule base for the behavior of the integrated information system. This allow to reduce in a 67% the workload of the decision maker.
