Abstract

The integration of design with manufacturing planning has been the subject of numerous investigations over the past two decades. Whilst a lot has been achieved, most of the research relates to the detailed design stages. Of primary importance are the early design stages when there is a plethora of options available for product configuration and manufacturing process selection. This paper describes the aggregate product and process modelling methods which are developed to facilitate the integration of early design stages with process planning. The application of aggregate methods for complex fabrications is described together with results from testing using industrial data.
