摘要

近年來，由於資訊科技迅速的發展，企業不斷地運用資訊科技，來改善或增進企業經營的體質，以提升市場的競爭力，使得資訊的管理與應用特別顯得重要。然而，在一項產品的生命週期各階段中，總會不斷產生技術手冊或使用手冊的文件資料，而這些文件資產如何有效管理和應用，以結合到設計、生產與行銷等階段的需求，這不僅是企業必須面臨的重要課題，更是企業永續經營的依據。產品資料管理(Product Data Management, PDM)資訊系統遂因應而生；產品資料管理是解決企業開發產品或制定決策的關鍵利器，這也是資訊運籌管理(CALS)策略探討的問題之一。因此，本文旨在產品發展過程中，從組織架構、作業流程、文件資料及系統架構等觀點，配合運用物件導向之統一模式語言(Unified Modeling Language, UML)的技術，來建構出一個整體性的產品資料管理物件塑模架構，藉以說明產品資料管理資訊系統構建的程序與應用。為解釋並驗證所提模式的特性，本文以國內某著名的鋼鐵企業個案為例，以探討UML技術在PDM物件模式建構中彼此的關聯性，透過整體性物件模式建構分析與設計的方法，來建置該公司的產品資料管理系統。個案分析的成果印證本文研究方法的可用性。預期本研究成果可做為企業在導入和建置PDM系統之參考應用模式。

Due to the rapid development of information technology (IT) recently, the enterprises would adopt the IT to improve or enhance the marketing competitiveness. The management or applications of IT is therefore sensitive to enterprises. As IT is applied by enterprises, document is an asset for business administration. All kinds of documents including technical manuals or user guidance are produced during the life cycle of a product. All these documents may significantly relative to business activities such as design, manufacture or marketing etc. So, how to manage and apply the asset of document is very important to a corporation. The corrective handling of documentation is not only sensitive topic to an organization, but also it is a reliance for long-term operation. Product Data Management (PDM) information system is then developed and implemented. The PDM is believed to be a valid tool for product development or decision making. The PDM is also a topic to the adoption of CALS strategy to a corporation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model for construction of PDM using object-oriented technique. The model is developed from the aspects of organization architecture, operational procedure, documents and system architecture. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) technique is applied to build an integrated PDM modeling architecture. In order to demonstrate the details of the motivation, a case study on steel industry is implemented. The case study would explore the relationship between UML's method and object modeling. A methodology of integrated object analysis and design is used to develop the PDM. The result of the case study reveals the applicability and advantage of the proposed methodology.
