Feature Based Design

Abstract Many manufacturing companies have been striving to reduce setup times in order to produce smaller lot sizes and to obtain quicker responses to frequently changing market demands. This paper focuses on the reduction of setup time by design improvements of products. Based on the basic principles of setups and concepts from concurrent engineering, rules for design of products at the feature level are presented. Examples and computational results illustrate that the inter-lot setups and in-lot setups can be reduced by the feature-based design rules. The proposed approach for setup reduction appears to be more cost effective than optimizing the processes and operations where the product designs have been fixed. This research intends to bridge the gap between engineering design and manufacturing.

In the light of project management, concurrent engineering and agile manufacturing, in relation to the characteristics of the concurrence of developing and batch manufacturing, this text studies the hierarchical information technology of the production management system based on project driving. The operation flow of project-driven hierarchical information system of production management has been designed and implemented. The soft architecture and operating model have been proposed. The coordinating and controlling model based on workflow, queuing theory, and the capability balancing method are established.
