Definition
The coevolution paradigm refers to the joint design, development, and management of products, processes, and production systems throughout their life cycles. These three entities are defined in the following consistent with the CIRP Dictionary of Production Engineering:
Product is the output of the transformation made by a production system during execution of a process.
Process is the set of basic operations and logical procedures executed by the manufacturing (production) system to carry out a transformation resulting in obtaining a product.
Production (manufacturing) system is the set of resources, control logics, and management policies that allow performing a transformation to obtain a product by executing a process.
Theory and Application
Introduction
Manufacturing is challenged worldwide by complex economic, sociopolitical, and technological dynamics having tremendous impact on strategies followed by...
