  Abstract/
Summary
The development of industrial facilities is a complex process that requires the integration of different disciplines (mechanical, electrical, civil, Control and Ambient) and companies during engineering, construction and maintenance stages. It has been recognized that is not possible to verify full consistency using conventional techniques for communication and coordination among stakeholders of the project. This paper proposed a based in concepts of 'Design for Function' to support the Industrial Plant Development Process. The implementation of this methodology is based on: (a) Use of Asset Life- Cycle Management (ALM) tools; (b) Development of a 3D CAD model to support the knowledge sharing methodology among stakeholders; (c) Web-based services to share knowledge and foster collaboration among stakeholders; and (d) Workflows to keep track all the process design (e) Product Data management functions. Finally a case study is presented to demonstrate how these concepts can improve the Industrial Plant Development Process. This paper demonstrates how ALM tools can improve the industrial plant development supported on Action Research Methodology.
