Development on Manufacturing System Design Support Based On Design Factor and Design Process Model

Abstract

We have developed basic software modules as the first step to support the manufacturing design using information technology. One of these modules is "module to store design cases and navigatedesigners". This module has been developed by considering that multiple designers do design activities concurrently under the distributed environment. It has the functionality to store design cases and to generate a simple sequence of design processes. This paper shows the basic idea to develop this modules and explain its capabilities.
