Onto the CIM communication standards platform one must superimpose a framework for controlling the storage, transfer and access to information, if we are not to overwhelm individual functions with vast quantities of unneeded data. This paper describes the background to the development of such a framework, termed an 'executive', and its application to provide a product engineering database in two distinct environments: the design and manufacture of locomotives and the design, construction and operation of large, complex process plant. The principal requirement for the executive is to support a single, company wide view of product information, within which information may be created, retrieved and modified by each activity involved in the product design, manufacture and operation sequence. The information required within the executive, to provide control within any particular operating environment, is derived from the 'product information model'. This model is unique to each organisation and describes the sequence of activities undertaken, information flows and any dependencies that may exist.
