The Impact of Product Design and Product Development on the Production System Design

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the interplay between product design and manufacturing systems, this thesis explores how product attributes influence the development of manufacturing processes. It argues that rather than imposing manufacturing constraints on product designs, understanding product characteristics should guide the design of manufacturing systems. This approach is presented as a more natural and logical method, emphasizing the importance of integrating design considerations from the outset to optimize manufacturing efficiency.
