Maintenance Problem

A change and maintenance method is proposed based on the change propagation model and the procedure model information for solving data maintenance problem of 3D machining procedure model change and to help improve the flexibility of 3D machining procedure model and the reliability of the change result. Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is established by analyzing the relationships between machining features in the machining process route to obtain all possible propagation paths. On the basis of obtained paths, machining features that may be affected and machining procedure models related to machining features are stored by the structured method. Algorithms to solve the problems of adding, deleting and modifying machining features are proposed to realize the change and maintenance of 3D machining procedure model by combining machining procedure model’s information in the machining process route. In the end, some numerical examples are given to explain both rationality and feasibility of the proposed approaches.

Engineering change is an important and complex activity for manufacturing enterprises. In order to improve the efficiency of engineering change, designers should pay different attentions to different nodes of product development network. In that case, a method of classifying the nodes was proposed. First, we proposed a method to cluster the nodes based on design structure matrix; then, we analyzed the indexes for evaluating the importance of nodes and studied the method of classifying the nodes of product development network; finally, the experiment of managing a type of motorcycle engine was employed to validate our method and it showed the correctness of the proposed method.

Design Requirements

Product family (PF) design is a widely used strategy in the industry, as it allows meeting diverse design requirements. Change propagation in any PF is difficult to predict. Consequently, while numerous design change management methodologies presently exist, their application is restricted to a single artifact. This issue is overcome in the present study. The proposed framework explores effective change propagation paths (CPPs) by considering the risks associated with design changes in the PF with the aim of minimizing the overall redesign cost. The propagated risk, which would result in rework, is quantified in terms of change impact and propagation likelihood. Moreover, a design structure matrix (DSM) based mathematical model and an algorithm for its implementation are proposed to investigate the change propagation across the PF. Finally, to demonstrate their effectiveness, a PF of electric kettles is examined in a case study. The study findings confirm that the proposed technique is appropriate for evaluating different CPPs in PF.
