Abstract: Motion pictures are the most accepted means of entertainment these days. The cost, quality, and time dimensions are critical to the production of motion pictures. Development of a motion picture involves several interconnected processes, generation of documents and their transfer between collaborating teams. Since the development process of motion picture is the same worldwide, a standard methodology can be adopted for this purpose. Suitability of a product lifecycle approach for the motion pictures, similar to that of discrete manufacturing, is considered in this work. Further a motion picture data management system (MPDMS) is proposed in this paper. The functionalities, components, architecture, and document flow in the proposed system are detailed. MPDMS helps the production houses to take better and faster decisions, optimise resources, reduce errors, and enable better collaboration between the various teams. This system provides a better overview of the activities that helps to run the show effectively.

Keywords: motion pictures; product lifecycle; data management system; product structure; workflow.
