A Green Cooperative Development Method Based on the IDEF0 Model of Manufacturing Knowledge: Case Study of a Carton-Filling Machine

This is a case study of cooperative development between college and corporation to manufacture carton-filling machine. Specifically, green method was proposed that would match the college’s design capabilities with manufacturing capacity enterprise. college–enterprise represents an extensive collaboration industry academia. integrates for (DFM) theory integrated computer aided definition (IDEF) establish IDEF0 (functional) model knowledge supports process. The clarifies specific enterprises should provide at conceptual stage, preliminary stage detailed stage. forms communication timing provision needed optimize planning decisions based on enterprise were also determined. Through this method, project (in case, involving machine) accomplished less time, fewer modifications parts needing be reworked. results show can greatly reduce run-in period both parties, improve efficiency cost waste prototyping.
