Abstract

Abstract : Manufacturing process models are developed for a data-driven, reconfiguarable manufacturing facility. A human assembly process model is developed to characterize assembly processes. Machine and tool resources are characterized for manufacturing processes to provide a broad characterization of manufacturing process coverage in a hypothetical final assembly factory for infantry fighting vehicles. A sample population of manufacturing process parameters and resources is collected and incorporated into a manufacturing capability and process model library. Requirements for a virtual manufacturing environment are developed, and an initial, prototype version is implemented to facilitate process model validation, configuration, and experimentation.
