Presently an Engineering Data Management System (EDMS) is introduced at
DESY. The EDMS is considered as one of the building blocks of an
Integrated Information Management. The task of an EDMS is to organise
all documents and processes during the design and development phase of
a (technical) product.
The software is commercially available as a kind of tool box from
different suppliers. The implementation requires (i) a data model
describing the engineering environment and (ii) the careful design
and documentation of the processes which shall be supported by the
EDMS. The latter implies an agreement on valid processes
(eg. engineering change request or engineering change order). In a
heterogenous environment of a HEP institute (eg. many collaborating
institutes, different cultures) this agreement cannot be enforced
top-down. Thus the introduction of systems like EDMS has to focus on
human issues, the so called acceptance management. This implies
especially involving people as early as possible in designing
and maintaining the processes they are concerned with and in
tailoring the system to their real needs.
The talk will report on the results of the project achieved so far
and on the lessons learned.
