Abstract
There is need for flexible change management to enable dynamic changes of documents linked to parts. This requirement is one of the most important needs of structure configurations versus current industry de-facto description of document to part relation. This study concentrates on CAD documents, which are identified in this industry sector as the principal document of defining parts. The aim of the study is to identify issues, which should be discussed in appropriate academic, industry and standardization forums and changed to de-facto definition within product data management systems.
Keywords: product structure, configuration management and flexible change management
