Abstract

In order to ensure the optimal scheduling and shorten the product development cycle, a method based on Activity and its Process (ProA) hierarchical decomposition integrated with product development process modeling is presented. Firstly, the hierarchical decomposition of product development based on ProA and ProA Input and Output Item (ProA InOI) are studied. Then, the relationship of ProA and ProA InOI has been discussed in detail. Thirdly, a dynamic scheduling method for product development is given and a polychromatic sets model of product development scheduling is also proposed. Finally, the feasibility of the method mentioned in the paper is demonstrated by using an application example.
