Abstract
A control system for updating a context-driven build plan for production of a physical vehicle. The control system includes a design engineering database, a manufacturing database, and a production database all having pluralities of digital data objects. A criterion module is configured to assign a context criterion to any of the digital data objects. The criterion module assigns the context criterion to a particular digital data object based on properties and/or rules associated with a particular digital data object. A user interface receives an input of a requested change. A mapping module configured to establish a mapping between the particular design digital data object and any other digital data objects. An authority approves the requested change. A change module updates the context-driven build plan with a digital change request. Accordingly, an updated build plan is generated.
