Products-manufacturing systems Co-platforming
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new Co-platforming methodology is introduced for mapping product features platform and corresponding manufacturing system machines platform. A cluster of platform and non-platform system machines are derived using matrix formulation and manipulation. The objective of Coplatforming is to establish the mapping between platforms of products and manufacturing machines for use in synthesizing systems capable of adaptation to changes in product variants without significant changes in the platform machines. This prolongs manufacturing systems useful life and reduces the cost of re-tooling as products evolve and new models are introduced. Fabrication of automobile cylinder blocks is used for demonstration and verification. 2015 CIRP. * Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (H. ElMaraghy).

متن کاملCo-design of products and systems using a Bayesian Network
Complexity in manufacturing arises due to the intertwined relationships between products and their manufacturing systems. If the system/product relations can be retrieved automatically and efficiently, complex systems would be better designed and utilized to manufacture more products effectively. In this paper, a comprehensive method is used to explore the interrelationships in the products dom...
