Abstract
Product configuration has a central role in PLM application. The generic product configuration which factories the similarities between the product types, is used to facilitate the production by permitting delay differentiation. In this research, the role of business object in the construction of generic product configuration is studied. Then the rules used in the procedure of structuring the generic and specific configuration are presented. These rules are based on the” variability points” method. The concept is identifying the major variability’s of different products by finding the dependencies of their properties. The industrial case of the culinary articles is then studied.
