Abstract

We outline a new approach to process modeling in support of development of product data models. It is based on the definition of process models with far greater detail than have been used previously, and on the automated mapping of these models to product model schemas. A new process-modeling tool was developed for this purpose along with applications for structuring and analyzing the data collected with it. Examples are provided from the domain of precast concrete design and fabrication.
