Abstract:
This work proposes a systematic approach for model building and analysis of the product lifecycle processes of complex systems development, products and/or services, making use of Project Management, Business Process Management and Simulation techniques in an integrated and unified way. The approach is demonstrated making use of an academic model, describing an online Bookshop, but it envisages real systems applications and its use in Product Lifecycle Management in general. The modeling process starts with the creation of a unified reference process model, which is used for the development of multifaceted and cross consistent representations, each one related with a different view and discipline, aiming at the achievement of the complementary benefits resulting from their joint application.
