چکیده
The agile electronics manufacturing enterprise must rapidly develop new products by close interaction with their supplier network. Design for manufacturing must occur in this extended and distributed enterprise across traditional organizational boundaries. This paper proposes the use of information models to support this activity. A manufacturing model is built using the EXPRESS information modeling language to model the manufacturing process capabilities of the vendors. Compatibility ratings based on possibility theory search the vendor’s information models to compare the product profile requirements and the manufacturing process capabilities. A multi-attribute decision model is invoked to weigh the importance of the selection criteria and aggregate the multiple compatibility ratings into a single metric that ranks the vendors according to their ability to manufacturing the product. The system provides feedback exposing why certain compatibility ratings were assigned. The contribution of this paper is to model the information requirement of an agile enterprise and provide an approach for dynamically selecting vendors.

متن کاملAnalysis of Variability in the Design of Wood Products under Imprecision
The design and analysis of many products is performed with imprecisely known parameters, relationships, and environmental conditions. This is especially true for wood products which exhibit greater variability than most materials. Fuzzy set theory applied to the design and analysis of wood products is regarded as a promising approach for modeling the geometric and mechanical property variabilit...
متن کاملEvaluating Engineering Functions with Imprecise Quantities
There is an increased awareness of the benefits of modeling imprecision in engineering problems, but success is limited by two problems associated with the calculus of imprecision: (1) Solving equations for a parameter is difficult because the common operators of addition and multiplication lack true inverses. (2) The multiple occurrence of imprecise quantities in engineering functions can lead...
متن کاملManufacturing Evaluation of Designs: a Knowledge-based Approach
Manufacturing evaluation is performed with heuristics that are developed internally by the manufacturing experts in the company. Many of the existing manufacturing evaluation systems rely on highly specialized knowledge, extensive databases, and require a significant amount of time and cost that make these tools in general unavailable early in design and to small manufacturers who do not have t...
