Traceability Records – Issues and Solutions

The engineering information has a central role in product development: it describes and documents the constitution and behaviour of the product ; it drives the product development process and is the object of verification and validation procedures. With the current emphasis being on companies to supply products and provide support services throughout the product lifetime, the realisation is that the engineering information being lost can aid in both the product life cycle support and also the development of new products. The TRENIN project objective was to establish a framework for traceability of engineering information evolution within the new and evolving paradigm of the long and total product-service life cycle. To achieve this objective, two particular key aims have been achieved: to establish theoretical foundations and develop tools and methods for understanding and supporting the traceability of engineering information evolution ; to investigate the dynamics of the engineering information evolution throughout the product life cycle in order to provide environment in which the traceability tools and methods can be made operational and effective in industrial context. The project was built on the state of the art developments in the exploration of principles for engineering information management. It incorporated development of the engineering information objects, sources, stakeholders, decisions and rationale, as well as time dimension into engineering information evolution space and extend in such way the state of the art methods and tools. The traceability methodology and prototype framework that integrates all the dimensions were developed and evaluated for the industrial cases. Visualisation tool for the information evolution has been additionally provided.
