Product Innovation Program in the Field of Flexible Components for Automotive Suspension Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents results of a pilot project on technological innovation of main flexible components for automotive suspension systems, that are coil springs and stabilizer bars. Current technology has been described and related problems have been outlined. In order to fulfil features as compactness, lightness and environmentally conscious design, solutions based on new forms, materials and manufacturing processes have been proposed. Improvements in weights, dimensions, noiselessness, corrosion and fatigue strength, environmental effects, have been all assessed, keeping a quite low project cost (around $ 3 million).

متن کاملA Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...
