A Capability-Driven Dynamic Federal Collaborative Design Methodology to Support the Inter-enterprise Development of Ordnance Equipment

Abstract

Facing the challenge of rapid response to customer personalized demand and developing high quality competitive ordnance equipment, the paper proposes a capability-driven dynamic federal collaborative design methodology to support inter-enterprise development. The core is dynamic constructing collaborative development capability federation (CDCF) by combinatorial optimizing and intelligent disposing various inter-enterprise designing and manufacturing capability. The paper presents the business model and capability models of CDCF and focuses on the capability constraints-based constructing method and requirement-capability matching algorithm of CDCF. Applying service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based integrating method, the inter-enterprise federal collaborative development platform was constructed. Finally, a heavy military vehicle inter-enterprise collaborative design engineering application case validates the effectiveness and feasibility of the method.
