Abstract

Currently, the demand for more robust, economic, and quality products has increased the complexity in the integrated process development and product design model. In the knowledge economy century, all nations are competing to innovate new technologies to develop a new system that produces goods in less time and cost with compatible quality.
Hence, a new IPPD model is needed to offer support and information/ technology sharing during the entire product life cycle. The new IPPD model proposed that integrate all domains shall affect the product development. The model has a friendly computerized interface supported with internet enablers that offer support to the user to collect and share data easily. This model contains 6 domains.
