Research on the Computer Supported Cooperative Shipbuilding System Based on PDM

Shipbuilding is becoming more complex and requires many different enterprises and plants to work cooperatively to strive for the maximum profit.Supported by the computer technology,information technology,and internet technology etc., CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) plays a very crucial role in the multi-team,multi-subject,multi-layer field. According to shipbuilding characters and market requirements,the computer supported cooperative shipbuilding technology is re- searched actually.Key technologies to realize it are analyzed,and construction of the computer supported cooperative manufactur- ing environment is deeply discussed.On the base of them,scheme of the computer supported cooperative shipbuilding system based on PDM (Product Data Management) is put forward,which is useful to improve and develop the shipbuilding industry.
