A shape metric for design-for-assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
\Design-for-Assembly" (DFA) is a process of improving product designs for easy and low cost assembly. DFA often involves an analysis of an existing design according to qualitative criteria that are diicult to analyze. This paper introduces a quantitative shape metric for planar parts, called feedability, based on a stochastic parts feeding algorithm reported in 7]]8]. Although feedability is only one possible metric for DFA, it relates one aspect of assembly cost directly to part geometry. Therefore, based on feedability, one can produce a set of geometric redesign strategies. The application of feedability (or Design-for-Feedability) to DFA is illustrated and compared with other DFA methods .

A Lean Manufacturing Roadmap for an Automotive Body Assembly Line within Axiomatic Design Framework
In this paper we are to present a practical application of Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology, as a roadmap to lean production, in redesigning a car body assembly line. Axiomatic Design theory provides a framework to simplify the whole problem. According to the AD principles, a hierarchical structure has been developed. The developed structure originated in lean manufacturing principles and exis...
متن کاملA cost-oriented model for multi-manned assembly line balancing problem
In many real world assembly line systems which the work-piece is of large size more than one worker work on the same work-piece in each station. This type of assembly line is called multi-manned assembly line (MAL). In the classical multi-manned assembly line balancing problem (MALBP) the objective is to minimize the manpower needed to manufacture one product unit. Apart from the manpower, othe...
متن کاملApplication of Shape Analysis on 3D Images - MRI of Renal Tumors
The image recognotion and the classification of objects according to the images are more in focus of interests, especially in medicine. A mathematical procedure allows us, not only to evaluate the amount of data per se, but also ensures that each image is pro- cessed similarly. Here in this study, we propose the power of shape analysis, in conjunction with neural networks for reducing white n...

A heuristic method based on simulation and design of experiments for performance improvement of assembly line is presented in this paper. In the proposed method, all effective factors on the performance of an assembly line are specified using the expert's point of view and then a 2k factorial design is used for the selection of the most effective factors. Also a factorial design is applied for ...
متن کاملA weighted metric method to optimize multi-response robust problems
In a robust parameter design (RPD) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. Response sur-face methodology (RSM) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. Since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...
