Overview: Globalization of many industry sectors is increasing competition in manufacturing. Various strategic partnerships and alliances with other companies are becoming very common. There are many critical issues for companies managing the complex business and product development processes. People involved in product development often work in geographically different locations and time zones. Paper-based processes are inefficient, time consuming and cause redundancy in documents and miscommunication. Uncontrolled email without proper coordination of projects and people impede knowledge management. This paper presents a web-based architecture for enabling streamlined customer-supplier interaction throughout the product lifecycle. The distributed product management (DPM) approach is designed to minimize time-delays and improve communication during interactions between distributed teams. A secure document repository allows users to upload, browse and download project-related files.
