Description and Analysis of Manufacturing System Engineering Process

Abstract

Planning, design and evaluation processes of manufacturing systems are very complicated, and individual manufacturing engineers carry out manufacturing system design based on their own experiences. It is now eagerly required to establish systematic methods and supporting tools, in order to support all the engineering processes for the planning, design and evaluation of the manufacturing systems. The objective of the research is to describe and analyze the actual manufacturing system engineering (MSE) processes in order to establish systematic methods and computerized support systems for the MSE processes.
