The demand for high-quality and low-cost products with a short development time for the dynamic global market has forced researchers and industries to focus on various effective product development strategies. Product modelling has been recognised as one of the key factors in determining the success of various product development strategies and for industrial competitiveness now and in the future. This paper proposes a methodology that represents multiview integrated product modelling based on the outcome of a research project on ISO 10303 STEP. The methodology consists of the architecture and information requirements for an integrated product model and a mapping mechanism for the multiview operations of the model, which support product development in a concurrent engineering environment. This methodology will facilitate further research in developing sophisticated product modelling for concurrent product development.
