PLM-based Approach for Design Verification and Validation using Manufacturing Process Knowledge
Luis Toussaint, Frédéric Demoly, Nadhir Lebaal, Samuel Gomes
Out of 100 hours of engineering work, only 20 are dedicated to
real engineering and 80 are spent on what is considered as
routine activities. Readjusting the ratio of innovative vs. routine
work is a considerable challenge in the product lifecycle
management (PLM) strategy. Therefore, the main objective is
to develop an approach in order to accelerate routine processes
in engineering design. The proposed methodology called FabK
consists of capturing manufacturing knowledge and its
application towards the design verification and validation of
new engineering designs. The approach is implemented into a
Web-based PLM prototype and a Computer Aided Design
system. A series of experiments from an industrial case study is
introduced to provide significant results. Full Text
