Abstract
The Technologies Enabling Agile Manufacturing (TEAM) program enhances industrial capability by advancing and deploying manufacturing technologies that promote agility. TEAM is leveraging the expertise and resources of federal agencies, private industry, and universities to develop, integrate, and deploy leapahead technologies. TEAM has developed a product realization process that features the integration of product design and manufacturing groups, highlighted by optimization of product, process, and resource design parameters.
The TEAM Web Integration Manager (WIM) tool was developed to integrate this product realization process for the September 1997 integrated material removal demonstration, which featured the fabrication and inspection of a General Motors V8 cylinder head. The WIM provides comprehensive Web-based management of requirements, product attributes, process attributes, resources, and users. It managed the completion of process tasks from requirements definition through fabrication and inspection, ensuring controlled access to consistent design and manufacturing information. In addition, a specialized user interface into the WIM was deployed to provide detailed Web-based integration with a CAD system and with stress analysis, cost analysis, and optimization tools to provide a high level of automation in the Concept Optimization phase of the TEAM process.
