Application of Semi Automatic Model of Product Complexity Index Calculation by Identification and Recognition of Geometric Features Information
It is a phenomenon that an experience mechanical/ design engineer with years of experience in mechanical parts design, still must to improve the knowledge about process design. This phenomenon will be different with other fields but common in process design because design is continuous process. The automotive industry is expected to be one of the driving factors for economic growth in Indonesia in 2025. It is shown by research firm (Frost & Sullivan) that estimates this year's car sales in Indonesia will rise moderately by 6.5% from a year earlier to 948,500 units and the real car sales in Indonesia rose to 43% in April 2012. Development should be increased because the government provides to industrial facilities that conduct research, development and innovation. Therefore the design process until production is expected to be rapid and immediate product can be enjoyed by society. To speed up the production process, the design process should be faster, and account how the next process that is the production. This research useds the form of the usual features carried with three machining processes are widely used in the world of mechanical component industries. The processes are turning (around 24.9% of machining process), milling (around 20.2% of machining process) and drilling (around 28.2% of machining process). The overall mean of the three processes around 73.3% of the portion of the machining process (survey conducted by PERA).
