Research On Product Fast Configuration Design Technology And Application In Dust-catcher Industry

Mass Customization (MC) has become an important manufacture mode ininformation times. Product Configuration Design is a key method for realizing masscustomization. Product Data Management (PDM) can offer an information integratedsystem platform for fast configuration design. The paper researches on configurationdesign technology in dust-catcher manufacturing, in order to build a product familyconfiguration model of dust-catcher. Through a practical project, the Dust-catcherProduct Fast Configuration Design System is developed and well implemented in adust-catcher manufacture enterprise.In the first chapter, current research situation of design technology in dust-catchermanufacture is discussed, and research of the product configuration design technologyis reviewed. Based on a practical project, a dust-catcher manufacture enterprise'current problems and IT solutions is analyzed. Finally, the research content and theframe of dissertation are presented.In the second chapter, the material coding method is researched and a multi-segmentcoding model is given out. Then the product data organizing model and the structuremodel of dust-catcher are built, and deference and relation between SBOM, DBOMand MBOM is discussed. Further, the algorism to rebuild BOM by getting informationfrom engineering drawings is analyzed, and the statistic method of material in BOM isgiven out.In the third chapter, after analyzing the modularity design and product family ofdust-catcher, a product family configuration model of dust-catcher is given out. Basedon the model, the product configuration temple is built comprising of functionstructure units, the configuration rule for dust-catcher is deeply analyzed, andconfiguration solving way is given.In the fourth chapter, the integrating technology between configuration design andproject management, document management is discussed, the project driven designingprocess management is researched by the project management data modeling. Thenthe relation between configuration and document management and workflowmanagement is also researched, by discussing the designer's authority control ofdocuments and the workflow application in designing process.In the fifth chapter, the Dust-catcher Fast Configuration Design System is introduced,including its system platform, function framework, and main modules, such as projectmanagement, configuration, document management, product data management.In the last chapter, the research result of the paper is summarized, the researchdirection the Dust-catcher Configuration Design System is prospected.
