Integrated requirements modeling

Abstract Multidisciplinary and holistic integration in today´s heterogeneous PLM environment is crucial in all development phases. Among others it is seen as the key factor for successful product development within a cross domain and enterprise, as well as a complex supply chain network. This research describes and discusses a new approach for the integration of different development disciplines, lifecycle stages and IT systems, including associated information, data, and processes along the product creation process. The specific focus is set on the integration of requirements into a holistic product lifecycle management strategy. This is done by putting requirements modeling in the center of attention in a future oriented product development approach.
