Better understanding and sharing information are getting important to manage interdisciplinary product development team in a globally-distributed company. This study proposes a solution to implement RPD(Rapid Product Development) system for the distributed development teams using SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol). And a new approach is introduced for the better understanding of product geometry among the development members in different place and the easy sharing of product information. An application example shows that SOAP operates in distributed environment more efficiently than other RPC(Remote Procedure Call) techniques and it does not respond sensitively to firewall. And SOAP is an excellent RPC and messaging technique to exchange structured data. Procedures developed with use of SOAP are worked together with web, and users can use remote services as an application program in their local computer.
