    Study Notes

    Manufacturing Support Systems

    • Focus on manufacturing support systems at the enterprise level to manage production and address technical/logistical issues.
    • Automation possibilities include Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM).
    • Emphasis on information flow versus physical product flow in enterprise-level discussions.

    Product Design and CAD

    • The design process involves several stages that may include conceptualization, prototyping, and testing.
    • CAD enhances visualization of products through the use of color and animation.
    • Engineering analysis, such as stress-strain calculations and heat transfer analysis, is critical for validating design alternatives.
    • Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) improves the analysis process, allowing for more complex evaluations.

    Key Software Functions in CAD

    • Mass properties analysis computes volume, surface area, weight, and center of gravity, enhancing mechanical design accuracy.
    • Interference checking identifies potential conflicts in multi-component designs.
    • Tolerance analysis ensures components meet specified dimensional tolerances.
    • Virtual prototyping utilizes CAD models to create digital mock-ups for product design without physical prototypes.

    Automated Drafting

    • CAD systems streamline the production of engineering drawings, reportedly increasing drafting productivity fivefold compared to manual methods.

    CAD Workstations

    • CAD workstations comprise graphics displays and user input devices for efficient system-designer communication.
    • The evolution of CAD systems from host-and-terminal configurations to more powerful PC-based systems improves productivity and user experience.

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

    • QFD is a structured approach developed in the 1960s in Japan to align product design with customer requirements.
    • Involves creating interconnected matrices to link customer desires with technical product features and process requirements.
    • Aims to ensure product designs fulfill or exceed customer expectations, emphasizing a systematic rather than informal design approach.
    • The phases of QFD analyze customer requirements to determine related product features and necessary quality control measures.
