An approach to intelligent support in electronic design documentation development management based on approving person comment analysis

Design documentation development process is a multi-stage process, which requires a significant time and labor costs as well as involvement of many participants. It includes documentation preparation, documentation agreement and refinement to the required level of quality. The move towards electronic design and utilization of automated information systems in documentation agreement impacts in two ways on the process. On the one hand, certain operations are implemented quicker. On the other hand, new operations appear within the process. Also, there is an increasingly urgent need for response creation as a list of comments for developers. It requires more time for electronic response creation. Generally, the list of comments is formed by approving persons without automation tools, which is related to specificity of design documentation, the absence of the only design solution. Existing approaches to electronic design documentation development management are reviewed in the paper. A suggested approach to information support in the documentation development management based on intelligent approving person comment analysis and knowledge engineering technology is described. Information support system, which implements the suggested approach, was successfully piloted in a metal-working equipment company.
