Abstract
A variant management has the goal to offer as many product variants as possible to the customer but keep the internal variety in the company as low as possible at the same time. Inevitable creation of new parts or subassemblies has to be controlled in a standardized process of variant creation. To provide sustainability the new product data has to be integrated into the existing product data model in order to support the creation of a new product variant. This paper discusses the management of product data using reference product structures as well as reference products, and the support of a product data management system (PDMS) within the context of product lifecycle management (PLM) strategy.
