Abstract
This paper proposes a new methodology that supports to generate product reduce assembly-cost. It consists of three steps; generating assembly operations parts, generating function of parts, supporting to generate solutions to reduce assembly-cost. First step generates assembly operations of parts by comparing structure-data 3D-CAD with the assembly operations stored the assembly data-base. Second step generates function of parts by comparing structure-data and note-form 3D-CAD with the functions stored the function data-base. Third step provides the tailored guidelines for creating the solutions to assembly-cost by combining these extracted applicable elements.
