    Product Development Using Modular Design Structure Matrix and Quality Function Deployment

    Abstract: Product development (PD) process changes with the changing market trend. Modular design plays a vital role for the product development process. In this research, design structure matrix (DSM) approach was used to group different modular parts together to obtain preeminent assembly process. It also applied quality function deployment (QFD) to compare the best product in the market. QFD itself was considered from the customer end. This research proposed the use …

    Standard for Exchange of Products (STEP) based feature Recognition System for Prismatic Parts

    Abstract: Feature extraction is considered as the bridge between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP). This work is concerned with understanding the problem of how to manipulate and extract information from CAD solid models by using Standard for Exchange of Product data model (STEP) files and its further use in downstream manufacturing operations. Emphasis is placed on recognizing and classifying manufacturing features from the Boundary Representation (BREP) …

    Scheduling of PCB Assembly Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

    Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of scheduling ‘N’ printed circuit boards (PCBs) on a single machine equipped with an automatic component interchange mechanism. The total number of different components required to process all ‘N’ PCBs is greater than the capacity of the spool. If the essential components are not on the spool, then one or more component switches must take place earlier than the PCB can be processed. The …
