TL;DR: The concept of “adaptability factor” is proposed, linking choice of manufacturing technology to handling operations performed, and presents an integrated methodology for the design of manufacturing logistics.
Abstract: In simultaneous/concurrent engineering (SE/CE), many functions are performed concurrently; however, manufacturing logistics design is seldom considered. Presents an integrated methodology for the design of manufacturing logistics and links it with early phases of product design. The concept of “adaptability factor” is proposed, linking choice of manufacturing technology to handling operations performed.

TL;DR: In this article, a computerized production process planning system for machined cylindrical parts was demonstrated, where a man-machine communications interface allowed human oversight/modification of process plan development.
Abstract: : A computerized production process planning system was demonstrated. The system performs generative process planning for machined cylindrical parts. Manufacturer-independence is achieved by using process decision models that express local manufacturing practice. A man-machine communications interface permits human oversight/modification of process plan development. Industry surveys were conducted to collect data relevant to the benefits of computerized process planning. Results of the surveys are summarized. Cash flow analyses estimating cost savings to industry are presented. Benefits of the demonstration system in defense procurement are projected. (Author)
