1、沈阳航空工业学院毕业设计（外文翻译）1Production Systems DesignThe design of a production system starts with the design of the product to be manufactured. Figure 6. 1 describes a typical sequence of steps starting with a product design concept that culminates in a final product design for manufacture. Product engineer

As soon as the harvester performance information is collected and evaluated and customer and dealer Inputs have been reviewed. it is likely that design 沈阳航空工业学院毕业设计（外文翻译）2improvements and related engineering tests will begin immediately for an
5、 improved harvester product to be available for next summer. The more mature is the design. the fewer design changes that will likely be developed during the next improvement cycle. This is the kind of interest a small manufacturer has in its products that no amount of central planning in the Soviet

And make harvesters if they want to learn how to make farm machinery the American way. If all goes well, the nine months between harvests will provide sufficie
7、nt time to make the desired engineering tests,and to add design improvements needed before the release of material requisitions, so that next years improved harvesters will he ready in time, It is not uncommon that, as the time approaches to make material releases for the improved designs, product e
8、ngineering will beg for more time to run one more test. A saying in the. Architectural and Engineering (A&E) business often applies in this situation: “Sooner or later you have to shoot the engineer and build the building.“ The best compromise often is for some product improvements to wait for next
9、years product design. It will be noted in reviewing Figure 6. 1 that much of the shove effort lies in interactions between product engineering, manufacturing engineering, and production. The manufacture of a new design is always a process of discovery. In Frederick W. Taylors days, the new design fo

When the stronger part was molded. It would be Installed on the machine, the machine would run for some seconds, mi
11、nuites, or hours. And would fail again, often in a different place, and the process would be repeated. Ultimately, a machine design would evolve that would produce a machine that would run all the time. These machines were sold to customers. With todays perfected engineering knowledge it is much mor

Computer-Aided Drafting and design (CADD) Whereas design may have been accomplished with a stick on the molding shop floor in Tailors time, CAD/CAE/CAM (computer-aided design, compute
14、r-aided engineering ,computer-aided manufacturing) is becoming the preferred means today for producing designs. Most people think of CADD (computer-aided drafting and design) as simply electronic drafting, which greatly understates the computer revolution associated with the tasks implied in Figure

The following excerpt from a paper by Floyd concerning the use of CADD in the automotive industry provides some insight as to the overall comprehensiveness of the computer revolution in engineered product design today.
