Combinatorial process and plant design for agile manufacture

Total agile design system model via literature exploration

“…Hence, the design engineering principles have to be reorganized to make them compatible with AM requirements. This kind of similar observation is presented by Kusiak and He (1997); Jiao et al (2004); Borissova et al (2006). In order to effect changes in this direction, a model is required.…”

“…Authors Contributions Borissova et al (2006) The concept of combinatorial process, equipment and plant design for agile manufacture has been introduced and developed The proposed new approach has been particularly appropriate for the design of agile plants for families of products and where decisions to re-configure an existing facility to manufacture a new product have to be made Devadasan et al (2005) "Design for product" as well as "system agility" have been carried out Adoption of a modified orthogonal array-based model exploiting the technique "design of experiments" in an AM environment Kusiak and He (1997) Three rules for the design of products for agile assembly from an operational perspective have been proposed Accomplishment of design for agile assembly by considering the operational issues at the early product design stage Kusiak and He (1998) Four "design for agility" rules have been proposed Generation of rules that allow to design product and systems for easy scheduling Lee (1998) AM has been considered in the early design of components and manufacturing systems Design for short manufacturing lead time has been studied in the form of the design rules Design for agility rule has been formulated; proved and substantiated by numerical results Pan et al (2003) A novel approach has been presented to implement a design support system for rolling bearings based on world wide web to achieve agility in rolling bearing design The web-based distributed system will be globally accessible on the internet by the user and can be automatically sized according to the demand or application requirements Su and Chen (2003) The framework of network support for the integrated design has been presented The integrated design system integrates stages within the design process including product design specification, conceptual design, detailed design and manufacture. This has been achieved with the aid of integrating various software packages into a single environment (Yusuf and Adeleye, 2002).…”

Design and development of agile product development cycle for rotary switches

“…William et al (2004) have revealed structural shape optimization method that considers not only structural performance but also manufacturing cost using finite element analysis (FEA) software. Borissova et al (2006) proposed the concept of combinatorial process, equipment and plant design for agile manufacture, the proposed new approach has been particularly appropriate for the design of agile plants for families of products and where decisions to re-configure an existing facility to manufacture a new product have to be made. Wang et al (1996) proposed an internet assisted manufacturing system which consists of CAD/CAM/CAPP central network server which controls the remote FMS or CNC machines to accomplish the whole production process to improve the manufacturing agility.…”

Design agility through computer aided design

“…They have adopted a modified orthogonal array‐based model exploiting the technique “design of experiments” in an AM environment. Borissova et al (2006) have used the concept of combinatorial process, equipment and plant design for achieving agility in manufacturing. The proposed approach has been particularly appropriate for the design of agile plants for families of products.…”
