制造系统设计-毕论文外文翻译.docx

Production Systems DesignThe design of a production system starts with the design of the product to bemanufactured. Figure 6. 1 describes a typical sequence of steps starting with a product designconcept that culminates in a final product design for manufacture. Product engineers arethose individuals in a manufacturing organization most familiar with the function of a product.and thecustomers 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 andcustomer 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 thatwill 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 Sovieteconomy could have ever successfully duplicated, The Russians should talk to the people inArmstrong, Iuwa, and watch them analyze,design. And make harvestersif they want to learnhow to make farm machinery the American way. If all goes well, the nine months between harvests will provide sufficient time to makethe desired engineering tests,and to add design improvements needed before the release ofmaterial requisitions, so that next years improved harvesters will he ready in time, It is notuncommon that,as the time approaches to make materia
