The report presents the state of the art regarding product and process modelling methods. Manufacturing competitiveness supports sustained growth and profits by promoting customer loyalty through the creation of high-value products for the dynamic global market (Biren 1996). The demand for higher-quality and lower-cost products with shorter development times has forced industries to focus on new product development strategies. The well known computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) is an advanced manufacturing system which uses information technology and involves the interconnection of various technical and management functions within a company (Harrington 1973).

It is also possible to aggregate time series of attributes in a statistical way corresponding to industrial measurement value logging. Vertical aggregation means processing the attribute values of sub-components within a product structure to reach a conclusion regarding the superordinate component. For example, the weight of an assembly equates to the sum of weights of the individual parts. An analysis of the presence of materials requiring separate disposal could also be realised with a vertical aggregation method.

2 XPDL (XML Process Definition) The XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) is a workflow process definition meta-data model to provide a common method for accessing and describing workflow definitions. This meta-data model identifies entities commonly used within a process definition. A variety of attributes describe the characteristics of this limited set of entities. Based on this model, vendor specific tools can transfer models using a common exchange format (WfMC 2002). A key element of XPDL is its ability to be extended to handle information used by a variety of different tools.
