LOGOIntroduction
Within the actual competitive world, enterprises are ever more stressed and subjected to high markets requests.
Customers are becoming more and more pretentious in terms of products quality and delivery times.
The best product, at the lowest price, at the right time and into the right place is the only success-key for the modern enterprise.
The increasing complexity of the products’ definition pushes the companies to take care of their competencies and externalize complementary knowledge.
Lyon, February 2, 2006 Cerral/Prism@ Laboratory4
LOGOContext & Problematic
Enterprises have to focus on their core competences in order to improve the efficiencies and to reduce the inefficiencies → Multidisciplinary Collaboration (MC).
The MC between different actors depends on exchanging and sharing adequate information on the product, related processes and business throughout the product’s lifecycle.
The effective capture of information, and also its extraction, recording, exchange, sharing, and reuse become increasingly critical, especially when one considers the collaborators’ points of view.

LOGOObjectives
This work is focusing on integration of product, process, collaboration and supply chain organization modeling in a collaborative framework.
…To improve more and more the definition of the product development model.
…To increase the quality of the exchanged information by using “multiple viewpoints” approach, especially to capture the actors’ interest on the product information.
…To facilitate transformation/adaptation of knowledge/information from one actor to another, following his/her viewpoints on product (objective and focus)

LOGOThe Product-Process-Collaboration-Organization Model
In MC oriented PLM and/or SCM, we need to define a general core model which includes the information on the product (geometry design, manufacturing data, managing data, etc.), on the process, on the collaboration, and on the structure of the supply chain organization followed.
Our first objective on proposing the PPCO model is to provide a base-level information model which is open, non-proprietary, generic, extensible, independent of any product development process and a generic Supply Chain collaboration, able to capture the whole engineering and business context.
This model is composed of four main parts interconnected directly or indirectly (by using viewpoints approach) such, product, process, collaboration, and organization.

The Viewpoints Approach
Lyon, February 2, 2006 Cerral/Prism@ Laboratory15
LOGO
In ODP viewpoint model, we are interesting on the enterprise and information viewpoints, are respectively with organizational requirements and information modeling.
From these two kinds of viewpoints, we can say that the viewpoints framework provides an infrastructure for capturing and organizing product information extraction within multidisciplinary collaboration.
Our definition of a viewpoint is “an object encapsulating cross-cutting and partial knowledge about activity, process, and domain of discourse, from the perspective of a particular actor, or collaboration-team, on the processes of product development”.
The Viewpoints Approach
Lyon, February 2, 2006 Cerral/Prism@ Laboratory16
LOGO
We define our own definition of viewpoint, and we take into account the way we use them. So we prefer the definition of GARLAN [Garlan 87] who says that “a viewpoint can be defined as a simplifying abstraction of a complex structure… suppressing information not relevant to the current focus”, or of Easterbrook [Easterbrook 93]: “viewpoint represents the context in which a role is performed”.
So our notion of viewpoint must permit: Simple seek of information within product/process
information, Visualization of pieces of information relative to a given
process/activity, Comparison of information between viewpoints.
The Viewpoints Approach
Lyon, February 2, 2006 Cerral/Prism@ Laboratory17
LOGO
Our definition of viewpoint can be defined as a subset of information concerning the description of a product. This viewpoint is characterized by a context, which allows locating the pieces of information that we can describe, and an actor, that let us know what degree of importance we can give to the information of the viewpoint.

LOGOConclusions
The proposed framework is based on four layers and instead to capture, exchange, share and reuse information within supply chain context.
The viewpoints approach was integrated to capture the actors’ interest on their collaboration over the product lifecycle, and to optimize the exchange.
With the integration of the both proposition, the system particularly ensures: The integration and consolidation of information
coming various sources, and its filtering, transformation and adaptation to various viewpoints.
Optimization of time restitution. Information traceability.
