沈阳航空工业学院毕业设计（外文翻译） PAGE  PAGE 9 Production Systems Design The design of a production system starts with the design of the product to be manufactured. Figure 6. 1 describes a typical sequence of steps starting with a product design concept that culminates in a final product design for manufacture. Product engineers are those individuals in a manufacturing organization most familiar with the function of a product.and the customers changing needs relative to that product. Figure 6. 1 The design manufacturing Interface. Arts-Way Manufacturing is a manufacturer of farm machinery in Armstrong, Iowa. As soon as the beet harvesting season comes to an end at the end of summer, Arts Way product engineering and marketing personnel evaluate their most recent harvester design successes and any unique conditions or problems that affected the performance of their equipment. There’s nothing like a harvest to bring to light the strengths and weaknesses of a harvester design. As soon as the harvester performance information is collected and evaluated and customer and dealer Inputs have been reviewed. it is likely that design improvements and related engineering tests will begin immediately for an improved harvester product to be available for next summer. The more mature is the design. the fewer design changes that will likely be developed during the next improvement cycle. This is the kind of interest a small manufacturer has in its products that no amount of central planning in the Soviet economy could have ever successfully duplicated, The Russians should talk to the people in Armstrong, Iuwa, and watch them analyze, design. And make harvesters if they want to learn how to make farm machinery the American way. If all goes well, the nine months between harvests will provide sufficient time to make the desired engineering tests,and to add design improvements needed before the release of material requisitions, so that next years improved harvesters will he ready in time, It
