International Journal of Product Lifecycle Management (IJPLM), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2006

Abstract: This paper proposes an innovative expert system based approach for analysing a company's strategic Product Data Management (PDM) requirements. The proposed Expert System (ES) incorporates a novel adaptation of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology along with a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to generate a requirement specification for a PDM system. The fusion of the three techniques within a single framework helps provide an intelligent, robust and powerful framework for PDM requirement analysis. Unlike other combinations of artificial intelligent techniques and QFD, the proposed ES incorporates the entire QFD process within an ES environment.
