A method and apparatus for computer modeling the production process is disclosed. An integrated product and process engineering system may be a computer modeling system that models both a generic production process and a specific individual production process. The integrated product and process engineering system may store one or more time dependent process parameters related to the production process and one or more engineering change numbers related to different product designs. The effective time periods of the time dependent process parameters may be compared with the effective time periods of the engineering change numbers. Various flags may be associated with each comparison to indicate the validity of the time dependent process parameter.

Time dependent process parameters and engineering change number conflict report

A method and apparatus for computer modeling the production process is disclosed. An integrated product and process engineering system may be a computer modeling system that models both a generic production process and a specific individual production process. The integrated product and process engineering system may store a time dependent process parameter related to the specific product design and organize the time dependent process parameters by product variants. The time dependent process parameter may have a parameter value and a start time. The time dependent process parameters may be input/output component consumption parameters, activity duration parameters, resource capacity consumption parameters, and activity scrap parameters.

Time dependent process parameters for integrated process and product engineering

A method and apparatus for computer modeling the production process is disclosed. An integrated product and process engineering system may be a computer modeling system that models both a generic production process and a specific individual production process. The integrated product and process engineering system may store a time dependent process parameter related to the production process, having uploaded them via an interface. The time dependent process parameters may be retrieve and displayed to the user on a display using a remote function call enabled function module. The time dependent process parameters may be uploaded from an external system or revised using a remote function call enabled function module.
