This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing has evolved to become a critical element of the competitive skill set of defense aerospace firms. Given the changes in the acquisition environment and culture; traditional "thrown over the wall" means of developing and manufacturing products are insufficient. Instead, the development and manufacture of air and spacecraft require much more interaction between the various functions. Also, manufacturing systems are complex systems that need to be carefully designed in a holistic manner and there are shortcomings with available tools and methods to assist in the design of these systems. This thesis proposes and validates a framework to guide the manufacturing system design process. The exploration and validation activities used 14 case studies from major aerostructures, electronics, launch vehicles and spacecraft. Actual manufacturing system design processes were observed real-time or captured retrospectively. An evaluation tool was used to compare the actual manufacturing system design processes with the process proposed by the framework. This degree of congruence with the framework was then compared to a metric of actual/planned performance of the manufacturing system. The results of the framework congruence versus the actual/planned performance metric showed that the case studies that were able to meet their planned performance also had manufacturing system design processes that resembled the process proposed in the framework. But the results also illustrated the different traits between the cases that were able to meet their planned performance and those that were not. Looking at the commonalities between the cases in the groups led to the discovery of the determinants of superior performance: breadth of functional interaction through the design process, use of a manufacturing strategy, the status of the manufacturing function, customer involvement, co-location and an enterprise perspective.
Download or read book A Capital Equipment Capacity Planning Methodology for Aerospace Parts Manufacturing in a High mix Low Volume Environment written by Matthew Aaron Reveley and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A static capacity planning model was developed and tested following a four-phased framework. This model was developed for the purposes of capital planning for capacity requirements at a large aerospace parts manufacturing plant. Implications for capacity planning of the nature of the aerospace industry, as well as the company and plant being studied are discussed, as well as the current state of capacity planning. In phase I of model development, an appropriate modeling solution is selected. In phase II, information is collected from the user base as to the desired user experience and functionality of the model, as well as the parameters that should be considered in it. Phase III involves assessment of the parameters' impact on capacity, and identification of appropriate data sources to feed the model. Additionally, phase III recommends changes to current data structures in order to optimize the balance of model accuracy with minimal incremental resource allocation. In phase IV, the mathematical model is explained, and the user interface is developed. With a working model, the results are validated with the shop floor, identifying gaps in data sources previously unobservable. Following model development and validation, the model is applied to a subset of the shop, and used to develop recommendations for addressing predicted future capacity constraints. Application of the model reveals a blind spot in current heuristics-based planning, where high development loads can lead to immediate capacity constraints, but effects of the experience curve can actually cause this constraint to disappear on its own, without the need for excess equipment purchases. Finally, extensions of the research and lessons learned are discussed, suggesting future project work within the plant studied, as well as elsewhere in the company and in other companies or plants.

This book was released on 2007-07-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aircraft manufacturer Airbus was established in 1970 by the French, German and UK governments (with the Spanish government joining a year later) in order to develop a coordinated and collaborative European response to the dominance of the global civil aviation market by American companies. Since October 2006, following the decision by BAE Systems to sell its stake in the company, Airbus has been wholly owned by EADS (a joint venture between its French, German and Spanish parent companies).Recent Developments with Airbus (HC 427-I) examines recent challenges faced by Airbus, including reduced competitiveness as a result of the weak US dollar, delays and cost overruns in its flagship A380 aircraft, its restructuring programme, and the financing of the A350 XWB project. It also looks at the future role for the UK Government and the Regional Development Agencies, the implementation of the UK's National Aerospace Technology Strategy, and the impact of the current World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute between the US and the European Union (EU) over government subsidies.Given the fact that the sale of BAE's stake in the company has left the UK without a significant shareholding in

Download or read book The Philosopher s Stone for Sustainability written by Yoshiki Shimomura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS2), which is defined as “an integrated industrial product and service offering that delivers value in use,” has expanded rapidly over the last decade. IPS2 has allowed us to achieve both high added value and high productivity and has enriched our QOL by improving the performance of products and services. We are now struggling with many awkward issues related to sustainability, but IPS2 is expected to be the “philosopher’s stone” for solving these issues. Following the pattern of conferences held in Cranfield in 2009, Linköping in 2010, and Braunschweig in 2011, the fourth International CIRP Conference on Industrial Product-Service Systems, held on November 8-9, 2012, in Tokyo, will cover various aspects of IPS2. Topics planned for this year’s conference reflect the latest IPS2 information in both the natural sciences and humanities and include case studies from various industries. IPS2 is still a relatively new field, so it is important to keep track of the entire context in order to promote more cross-sectional cooperation between multimodal fields and disciplines. The fourth International CIRP Conference on Industrial Product-Service Systems will serve as a vital platform for such collaborations and the discussion of new scientific ideas.

Download or read book Design in the New Millennium written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is changing. Many of the most noticeable changes in day-to-day life are associated with the advancing capabilities of computer systems, the growing variety of tasks they can accomplish, and the accelerating rate of change. Advanced engineering environments (AEEs) combine advanced, networked computer systems with advanced modeling and simulation technologies. When more fully developed, AEEs will enable teams of researchers, technologists, designers, manufacturers, suppliers, customers, and other users scattered across a continent or the globe to develop new products and carry out new missions with unprecedented effectiveness. Business as usual, however, will not achieve this vision. Government, industry, and academic organizations need to make the organizational and process changes that will enable their staffs to use current and future AEE technologies and systems. Design in the New Millennium: Advanced Engineering Environments: Phase 2 is the second part of a two-part study of advanced engineering environments. The Phase 1 report, issued in 1999, identified steps the federal government, industry, and academia could take in the near term to enhance the development of AEE technologies and systems with broad application in the U.S. engineering enterprise. Design in the New Millennium focuses on the long-term potential of AEE technologies and systems over the next 15 years. This report calls on government, industry, and academia to make major changes to current organizational cultures and practices to achieve a long-term vision that goes far beyond what current capabilities allow.
