Functional Requirements and Measure of Performance for the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) System
Abstract
This is the Functional Requirements and Measure of Performance Report for the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) System. DICE has developed a concurrent engineering model that replicates the human tiger team concept. The basic tenet of the human tiger team is to have the various specialists contributing to the project co-located. In today's environment of complex product designs and geographically dispersed specialists, DICE envisioned a 'virtual tiger team' working on a 'unified product model' accessible by computer networks. Such an environment must enable specialists from each functional area to work on the design concurrently and share development ideas. Raytheon has proposed a conceptual refinement to the original DICE virtual tiger team. This refinement is a two level approach with a product virtual team having a global view supported by information supplied by lower level 'specialized' process virtual teams. This refinement is needed because of the growing complexity of our products, and supporting development processes which make it difficult for one individual to adequately support a complex manufacturing position. The virtual process team concept would allow comprehensive representation from each specialized process area.
