computer aided process planning application using data management software
Title
A computer aided process planning application using data management software.
Creator
Linn, Patrick Michael., Florida Atlantic University, Han, Chingping (Jim), College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
The future of manufacturing industry is extending from the high profile systems like CAD and CAM, to a system that provides real time knowledge towards the manufacturing process. Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is such a system. The computer provides the CAPP system a means to store and search previously developed process plans to find a similar process for a current part. In this research a CAPP application was developed using dBase IV, to provide a link between manufacturing process...
Show moreThe future of manufacturing industry is extending from the high profile systems like CAD and CAM, to a system that provides real time knowledge towards the manufacturing process. Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is such a system. The computer provides the CAPP system a means to store and search previously developed process plans to find a similar process for a current part. In this research a CAPP application was developed using dBase IV, to provide a link between manufacturing process plans and engineering data. The relational database used provides an effective way to manage and manipulate manufacturing process information. The application uses engineering and manufacturing data from Curt G. Joa, Inc., to verify its operation. The development of the application, its corresponding computer programs, and literature survey are discussed in this thesis.

Comparative analysis and application of various design for assembly methodologies to the design of electro-mechanical products
Title
Comparative analysis and application of various design for assembly methodologies to the design of electro-mechanical products.
Creator
Bhattacharya, Soumitra Sanat., Florida Atlantic University, Mazouz, Abdel Kader
Abstract/Description
This thesis presents a methodology of Comparative Analysis of different Design for Assembly (DFA) Methods. Three DFA methods, Boothroyd's Design for Assembly, Design for Assembly Guidelines and Value Analysis are compared. A "Select DFA Software," is developed using Turbo C++, which would enable a product designer to make a comparative analysis of different DFA methods from which the designer can chose from. In using the Software the designer is not required to know in detail the different...

Three DFA methods, Boothroyd's Design for Assembly, Design for Assembly Guidelines and Value Analysis are compared. A "Select DFA Software," is developed using Turbo C++, which would enable a product designer to make a comparative analysis of different DFA methods from which the designer can chose from. In using the Software the designer is not required to know in detail the different DFA methods. Responses to, easy to understand factors that affect the selection of a DFA method enables the designer to use the Software meaningfully. Two case studies are conducted for application of the DFA Software and the three different DFA methods.

Integrated simulator of JIT manufacturing process
Title
Integrated simulator of JIT manufacturing process.
Creator
Li, Shuanghu., Florida Atlantic University, Mazouz, Abdel Kader, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
The main objective of this research is to develop an integrated simulator which would perform as a decision support system of a Just-in-Time manufacturing process. It would permit a process designer or manufacturing engineer with no simulation expertise to define the process variables, then run the simulation program. A secondary objective is to combine in one system the key functions required by a manufacturing engineer or manager, such as the operational (real time), statistical, and...
Show moreThe main objective of this research is to develop an integrated simulator which would perform as a decision support system of a Just-in-Time manufacturing process. It would permit a process designer or manufacturing engineer with no simulation expertise to define the process variables, then run the simulation program. A secondary objective is to combine in one system the key functions required by a manufacturing engineer or manager, such as the operational (real time), statistical, and financial aspects. And also makes those function modules easy to understand and user-friendly. The integrated simulator can use animation to visualize an actual production line. A case study has been developed to verify and validate the work done.
