Riassunto

Efficient management of product information is vital for manufacturing enterprises in this information age. Considering the proliferation of product information, tight production schedules, and intense market competition, human intelligence alone cannot meet the requirements of efficient product development. Technologies and tools that support information management are urgently needed. This volume presents the design reuse methodology to support product development. Significant efforts have been made to create an intelligent and optimal design environment by incorporating the contemporary technologies in product family design, artificial intelligence, neural networks, information theories, etc. This volume covers both theoretical topics and implementation strategies, with detailed case studies to help readers gain an insight in areas such as product information modeling, information analysis, engineering optimization, production cost estimation, and product performance evaluation.Contents: Importance of Design Reuse; Engineering Design Reuse Applications; Major Issues in Design Reuse; Barriers to Design Reuse; Design Reuse Systems and Enabling Tools; Product Information Modeling; Function-based Product Information Model; Product Platform and Product Family Design; Computational Tools for Product Architecture Building; Optimization in Product Design; Automated Design Synthesis; Design Synthesis Using a Multi-objective Struggle Genetic Algorithm; Cost Estimation in Product Development; Product Performance Evaluation; Information Content Assessment; Integrated Design Reuse Process Model; Design Reuse for Embodiment and Detailed Design.
