CAx/EDM-Concepts for early checkson Final Assembly Capability
• Late recognition of product failures leads to exploding costs
• Digital methods are in general able to detect failures in early phases
• Today´s Digital Methods are very strongly focussed on the detection of functional problems
• In automotive final assembly, different stake-holders and domains, unharmonized systems, tools, data and information as well as isolated processes have to interact
Problem statement:
There are/is
• No digital methods in order to detect and judge assembly problems in earliest stages available
• No suitable IT-infrastructure which integrates involved stakeholders and domains
• A need for balancing and controlling the interaction in downstream processes in order to continously increase the degree of maturity
Goal and main contribution is to…… avoid late product changes due to assembly problems by increasing the final assembly capability within integrated digital methods and data management in automotive industry
Research Questions: Hypotheses:• Which informations are necessary and available relating to
different stages and stakeholders of the product development process?
• Which methods or tools are available to measure and judge final assembly capability?
• How to merge cross domain information into a environment, which allows early controlling and decision-making?
• Which requirements have to be fulfilled by this environment, regarding the complexity in automotive final assembly?
• How have these methods and tools to interact?
• The usage of digital methods in early phases allows to proof and judge final assembly capability in a reasonable and objective way in order to constantly increase the maturity of a product .
• EDM-systems are able to deal with very dynamic and complex data and are therefore predestined to merge data of different domains serving for earliest investigations regarding final assembly capability.
