Computer-aided simultaneous engineering for components manufactured in small and medium lot sizes

Simultaneous Engineering addresses the issue of developing the lowest cost design of a part by concurrently taking into consideration different product life-cycle concerns during the product developmental process. When only functional, structural, and machining life-cycle concerns are considered, Simultaneous Engineering entails concurrent product and process design. The objective of this research is to study and propose a methodology for the simultaneous product and process design of components manufactured in small and medium lot-sizes. For such components, Simultaneous Engineering is the process of ensuring that these parts are manufacturable for the lowest possible cost in specially designed facilities such as manufacturing cells.
