An Integrated Approach to Manufacturing Process Design and Costing

In order to accurately cost the new product manufacture, and to assess a `what if' scenario in a rapid manner, requires an information system which can integrate the process design data for part manufacture and assembly with the organisation's business data. This paper describes the development of such an information system, with a focus on the data model and the user interface design underpinning its operation, the benefits it has provided to the industry and its usefulness as a teaching aid in the universities. Key Words: Product and Process Design, Part and Assembly Planning, Concurrent Engineering
