Abstract

This review contains an assessment of research in the areas of tooling technology and management and process modelling. The assessment was performed as part of a recent travel study to several university research centres. Research in tooling technology was found to be fragmented and inadequate. Additional work is needed in integrated tooling technology concepts and in tool management. Extensive research work is reported in process modelling for product development, whilst detailed process models are frequently constructed on an ad-hoc basis without any formal analysis regarding data requirements and knowledge representation.
