Six Major Function in DM. Cont

Data synchronization from design through manufacturing in an


enterprise information management environment, including linkage and data integration among CAD, CAM, tool design, ERP, MES, and other software applications. A systematic, structured, visual, and analytical approach to part and assembly computer-aided process planning to obtain an optimal process solution. Establishing and cataloging manufacturing constraints, costs, throughputs, and best practices is also performed. Detailed line, cell, station, and task design for part manufacturing and assembly process management, including plant design and creation of mechanical assembly-line layouts.

Six Major Function in DM. Cont Discrete event simulation of manufacturing operations and material flows to visualize, validate, and optimize processes, including production line balancing, measurement and verification of line performance. Simulation and assessment of worker movement, ergonomics, safety and performance is provided to assure compliance with government and industry standards. Maintaining and managing information on manufacturing resources, including software to support communization and re-use of parts, assemblies, equipment, and processes. The software also provides manufacturing documentation, shop floor instruction, improved visualization, effective communication, and collaboration among workers. Programming of robots, welding, painting, coordinate measuring machines, and other factory equipment, as well as creation, testing, optimizing, and managing printed circuit boards and product assemblies. Quality planning, product inspection, control of dimensional variation, and continual assessment of production quality is also provided. rcsaini.blogspot.com
