Description of CE Technology for the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) system

Abstract

This is the Description of the Concurrent Engineering (CE) Technology For the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) System document. The purpose of the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) system is to enable each manufacturing specialist to participate in the product/process development activity concurrently. The system will consist of a set of tools to model the manufacturing processes and centralize the various process tradeoffs. The subject of this report is involved in 'user hardening of existing concurrent engineering technology by applying existing DICE Tools to other technology areas, in this case design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA). The DICE tools and methods are evolving so evaluation of the existing DICE tools must be performed, and the tools that support the DFMA environment will be considered for incorporation into the MO system. This report identifies the methods, assumptions, and procedures taken to evaluate the DICE tools (ROSE, CMS, PCB, CM, and RM) being considered for incorporation into the MO system, as well as, the results, conclusions, and recommendations produced by the evaluation.
