Product development process modeling consists of two interrelated aspects: product model and process model. The coupling of these two aspects is very important to integrated product and process development, which not only avails to manage and control the whole process efficiently, but also avails to organize a multifunctional team to develop product concurrently and cooperatively. In this article, the integrated development architecture is established based on the detailed analysis of coupling relations between the product model and its corresponding process model. The integrated development method of coupling the product model main line and process model main line is presented. In this method, both the product model and process model are modified synchronously, and this modification is dynamic and mutual. The interrelationships and coupling mechanism between product model and process model are analyzed and established, and the algorithm was also given to evaluate the model coupling effect. Application verified that both the logicality of development processes and the completeness of model information were emphasized in the development architecture proposed here.

Key Words: product model • process model • integrating product and process development • development mode • coupling mechanism
