Abstract: With the development and application of mass customization, the research focus about product family has been transferred from design to manufacturing, and the concepts of process platform and process family come with the transformation, in order to model the process family, the representation method of process family model based on UML and XML was proposed. In order to ensure the entity and the relationships between entities in process family, the process platform and process family were introduced first. And then based on the thinking of object oriented, UML static graph was adopted to describe the process family. For the purpose of engineering application of process family and information transmission and sharing among different systems, with the transformation rules from UML model to XML Schema, XML was adopted to represent the process family model. Finally, taken panel machining process of satellite plate for an example, the UML model of panel machining process family was constructed and the panel machining process family case was represented by XML.

Key words: process family, UML, XML, representation of information model
