Organização de conhecimento e informações para integração de componentes em um arcabouço de projeto orientado para a manufaturaRamos, André Luiz Tietböhl January 2015 (has links)
A constante evolução de métodos, tecnologias e ferramentas associadas na área de projeto fornece maior capacidade para o projetista. Entretanto, ela também aumenta os requisitos de interfaces e controle do conjunto de componentes de projeto consideravelmente. Tipicamente, este aspecto está presente na área de Projeto Orientado para a Manufatura (DFM) onde existem diversos distintos componentes. Cada um dos componentes existentes, ou futuros, pode ter foco diferente, consequentemente com requisitos de informação, utilização e execução distintos. Este trabalho propõe a utilização de padrões conceituais flexíveis de informação e controle de forma abrangente em uma arquitetura de Projeto Orientado para a Manufatura (DFM). O objetivo principal é auxiliar a análise e resolução de DFM, bem como dar suporte à atividade de projeto estruturando e propondo uma solução em relevantes aspectos em DFM: estruturação do contexto das informações (ou conhecimento) em DFM. A arquitetura utiliza as seguintes atividades de projeto em processos de usinagem: Tolerância, Custo, Acessibilidade da ferramenta, Disponibilidade de máquinas e ferramentas e Análise de materiais para demonstrar a relevância da correta contextualização e utilização da informação no domínio DFM . Sob forma geral, concomitantemente, as amplas necessidades de compreensão dos distintos tipos e formas da informação em DFM demandam que uma arquitetura de projeto tenha capacidade de gerenciar/administrar diferentes contextos de informações de projeto. Este é um tópico relevante tendo em vista que existem diferentes atividades DFM que eventualmente devem ser incluídas no ato de projetar. Tipicamente, cada uma delas tem requisitos distintos em termos de dados e conhecimento, ou contextualização do projeto, que idealmente poderiam ser gerenciados através da arquitetura de informação atual – STEP.Aarquitetura proposta gerencia contextos de informações de projeto através de ontologias direcionadas no domínio DFM. Através dela, será possível compreender e utilizar melhor as intrínsecas interfaces existentes nas informações deste domínio, além de, através disto, aumentar a flexibilidade e eficácia de sistemas DFM. / This work proposes the use of industry standards to support the utilization of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) techniques in a comprehensive scale in the design field. The specific aspect being considered in an architecture is the definition and structure of DFM information context. In order to demonstrate the research concepts, some design activities are implemented the framework (which is focused in machining processes): Tolerancing model, Cost model based on material remove processes, Tool Accessibility model taking into consideration the part being designed, Availability of Machines and Tools model, and Material analysis. The broad needs of design–based frameworks, in general, require that its architecture must have the capabilities to handle di erent framework design information utilization contexts, or information context concepts. This is a relevant aspect since there are severalDFMcomponents/activities that preferably should be included in the design process. Traditionally, each one of them might have distinct data & knowledge requirements, which can be handled by the current information architecture – STEP – only in part. Additionally, each one of them might have, or need, di erent forms of understanding DFM information (information context). The framework handles information context concepts through the use of the ontologies targeted to the DFMfield. It is expected that a better comprehension and usage of the intrinsic information interfaces existent in its domain be achieved. Through it, more flexible and e ective DFM systems information-wise can be obtained.

Exploitation dynamique des données de production pour améliorer les méthodes DFM dans l'industrie Microélectronique / Towards production data mining to improve DFM methods in Microelectronics industryShahzad, Muhammad Kashif 05 October 2012 (has links)
La « conception pour la fabrication » ou DFM (Design for Manufacturing) est une méthode maintenant classique pour assurer lors de la conception des produits simultanément la faisabilité, la qualité et le rendement de la production. Dans l'industrie microélectronique, le Design Rule Manual (DRM) a bien fonctionné jusqu'à la technologie 250nm avec la prise en compte des variations systématiques dans les règles et/ou des modèles basés sur l'analyse des causes profondes, mais au-delà de cette technologie, des limites ont été atteintes en raison de l'incapacité à sasir les corrélations entre variations spatiales. D'autre part, l'évolution rapide des produits et des technologies contraint à une mise à jour « dynamique » des DRM en fonction des améliorations trouvées dans les fabs. Dans ce contexte les contributions de thèse sont (i) une définition interdisciplinaire des AMDEC et analyse de risques pour contribuer aux défis du DFM dynamique, (ii) un modèle MAM (mapping and alignment model) de localisation spatiale pour les données de tests, (iii) un référentiel de données basé sur une ontologie ROMMII (referential ontology Meta model for information integration) pour effectuer le mapping entre des données hétérogènes issues de sources variées et (iv) un modèle SPM (spatial positioning model) qui vise à intégrer les facteurs spatiaux dans les méthodes DFM de la microélectronique, pour effectuer une analyse précise et la modélisation des variations spatiales basées sur l'exploitation dynamique des données de fabrication avec des volumétries importantes. / The DFM (design for manufacturing) methods are used during technology alignment and adoption processes in the semiconductor industry (SI) for manufacturability and yield assessments. These methods have worked well till 250nm technology for the transformation of systematic variations into rules and/or models based on the single-source data analyses, but beyond this technology they have turned into ineffective R&D efforts. The reason for this is our inability to capture newly emerging spatial variations. It has led an exponential increase in technology lead times and costs that must be addressed; hence, objectively in this thesis we are focused on identifying and removing causes associated with the DFM ineffectiveness. The fabless, foundry and traditional integrated device manufacturer (IDM) business models are first analyzed to see coherence against a recent shift in business objectives from time-to-market (T2M) and time-to-volume towards (T2V) towards ramp-up rate. The increasing technology lead times and costs are identified as a big challenge in achieving quick ramp-up rates; hence, an extended IDM (e-IDM) business model is proposed to support quick ramp-up rates which is based on improving the DFM ineffectiveness followed by its smooth integration. We have found (i) single-source analyses and (ii) inability to exploit huge manufacturing data volumes as core limiting factors (failure modes) towards DFM ineffectiveness during technology alignment and adoption efforts within an IDM. The causes for single-source root cause analysis are identified as the (i) varying metrology reference frames and (ii) test structures orientations that require wafer rotation prior to the measurements, resulting in varying metrology coordinates (die/site level mismatches). A generic coordinates mapping and alignment model (MAM) is proposed to remove these die/site level mismatches, however to accurately capture the emerging spatial variations, we have proposed a spatial positioning model (SPM) to perform multi-source parametric correlation based on the shortest distance between respective test structures used to measure the parameters. The (i) unstructured model evolution, (ii) ontology issues and (iii) missing links among production databases are found as causes towards our inability to exploit huge manufacturing data volumes. The ROMMII (referential ontology Meta model for information integration) framework is then proposed to remove these issues and enable the dynamic and efficient multi-source root cause analyses. An interdisciplinary failure mode effect analysis (i-FMEA) methodology is also proposed to find cyclic failure modes and causes across the business functions which require generic solutions rather than operational fixes for improvement. The proposed e-IDM, MAM, SPM, and ROMMII framework results in accurate analysis and modeling of emerging spatial variations based on dynamic exploitation of the huge manufacturing data volumes.

Discrétisation gradient de modèles d’écoulements à dimensions hybrides dans les milieux poreux fracturés / Hybrid dimensional modeling of multi-phase Darcy flows in fractured porous mediaHennicker, Julian 10 July 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur la modélisation et la discrétisation d’écoulements Darcy dans les milieux poreux fracturés. Nous suivons l’approche des modèles, dits à dimensions hybrides, qui représentent les réseaux de fractures comme des surfaces de codimension 1 immergées dans la matrice. Les modèles considérés prennent en compte les interactions entre matrice et fractures et permettent de traiter des fractures agissant comme conduites ou comme barrières, ce que nécessite de prendre en compte les sauts de pression aux interfaces matrice-fracture. Dans le cas des écoulements diphasiques, nous proposons des modèles, qui prennent en compte les sauts de saturations aux interfaces matrice-fracture, dû à la capillarité. L’analyse numérique est menée dans le cadre général de la méthode de discrétisations gradients, qui est étendue aux modèles considérés. Deux familles de schémas numériques, le schéma Vertex Approximate Gradient et le schéma Volumes Finis Hybrides sont adaptées aux modèles à dimensions hybrides. On prouve via des résultats de densité que ce sont des schémas gradients, pour lesquels la convergence est établie. En diphasique, l’existence d’une solution est obtenue en passant. Plusieurs cas tests sont présentés. En monophasique, on observe la convergence sur des différents types de mailles pour une famille de solutions dans un milieux fracturé hétérogène et anisotrope. En diphasique, nous présentons une série de cas tests afin de comparer les modèles à dimensions hybrides au modèle de référence, dans lequel les fractures ont la même dimension que la matrice. A part quantifier le gain en performance de calcul, ces tests montrent la qualité des différents modèles réduits. / This thesis investigates the modelling of Darcy flow through fractured porous media and its discretization on general polyhedral meshes. We follow the approach of hybrid dimensional models, invoking a complex network of planar fractures. The models account for matrix-fracture interactions and fractures acting either as drains or as barriers, i.e. we have to deal with pressure discontinuities at matrix-fracture interfaces. In the case of two phase flow, we present two models, which permit to treat gravity dominated flow as well as discontinuous capillary pressure at the material interfaces. The numerical analysis is performed in the general framework of the Gradient Discretisation Method, which is extended to the models under consideration. Two families of schemes namely the Vertex Approximate Gradient scheme (VAG) and the Hybrid Finite Volume scheme (HFV) are detailed and shown to fit in the gradient scheme framework, which yields, in particular, convergence. For single phase flow, we obtain convergence of order 1 via density results. For two phase flow, the existence of a solution is obtained as a byproduct of the convergence analysis. Several test cases are presented. For single phase flow, we study the convergence on different types of meshes for a family of solutions. For two phase flow, we compare the hybrid-dimensional models to the reference equidimensional model, in which fractures have the same dimension as the matrix. This does not only provide quantitative evidence about computational gain, but also leads to deep insight about the quality of the proposed reduced models.

Weld Producibility Assessment System : Evaluation of Producibility Assessment tools using Set-based approach in Multi-disciplinary Aerospace DesignKveselys, Donatas January 2017 (has links)
This thesis is a continuation of design automation studies within research projects financed by VINNOVA (the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems) and Knowledge foundation that contributed to the development of producibility assessment system at a global aerospace products supplier, GKN Aerospace Sweden. A case study was carried at the company on Turbine Rear Structure (TRS) component design of a jet engine with the main objective to evaluate weld producibility assessment tools and to demonstrate system’s performance in multi-disciplinary design environment. The context of this thesis is a set-based product design development where several studies, i.e. thermal, structural, aerodynamic etc. are carried concurrently to gather knowledge between their parameter relations. The thesis contributes to the goal of fully integrated producibility assessment in multi-disciplinary studies to support product development process. The problems encountered during the thesis execution involved systematic analysis setup to extract and verify CAD geometry data, assessment of meaningfulness of producibility indicators, development of semi-automated data post-processing module and relating product design to its manufacturing aspects. Commercial and in-house developed software were used extensively to demonstrate the results of the system with the help of continuous company support to mitigate indispensable bottlenecks along the way. The work has led to systematic improvements, determined assessment limitations and most relevant weld producibility aspects. Collected feedback to evaluate prepared demonstrator showed promising results to support product design decisions considering both performance and producibility.

協同設計創新對於半導體價值鏈之影響 - 以 DFM 為例 / Impact of Design Collaboration Innovation for Semiconductor Value Chain: Take DFM (Design for Manufacturing) as Case申雲勇, Shen, Yun-Yong Unknown Date (has links)
隨著奈米積體電路時代的來臨, 在微影技術,半導體製造技術和電路設計技術的進步已導致新的機會來整合大部份在系統中被使用到的電子功能。例如經過SoC技術提供的單晶片解決方案 - 由可重複使用的矽智財共同構成的單晶片系統 (舉例來說: 微處理器矽智財、數位信號處理矽智財、記憶體矽智財和其他的明星矽智財共同構成的單晶片系統) 可以和其他的整合系統溝通。這種包括多項技術的整合方式漸漸增加DFM 的要求, 進而創造在半導體價值鏈之中新虛擬的整合鏈模式。
對於先進產品發展, 經由現存的分解方式價值鏈﹐從每個單一鏈節 (無晶圓設計,矽智財,電路設計自動化, 設計服務,光罩製造,晶圓製造和封裝/測試)所創造的聯合價值無法在短時間超越IDM (舉例來說: 無法提供較早的上市時間)。因此針對先進產品突破性的發展,整合每個單一鏈節變成重要的主題。本研究針對這一個整合議題提供一個新的設計合作平台作為解決方案。
研究將以 DFM議題在半導體價值鏈中的影響作為分析。針對公司和公司間的溝通界面, 設計合作平台將會提供更多的併進價值鏈知識整合。 / Advances in lithography, semiconductor processes and circuit design techniques at the nanometer IC era have led to new opportunities to integrate most of the electronic functions encountered in systems. The single-chip solution through System on Chip (SoC) which comprises reusable Silicon IP (SIP) such as Microprocessor, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Memory and other Star SIPs enabling the system to communicate with other systems. This multidisciplinary approach calls for increasing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) needs among semiconductor value chain to enable a whole new virtual integrated chain.
Through the existing disintegrated value chain, the synergized value contributed from each single node (fabless, SIP provider, EDA, design service, mask foundry, wafer foundry and assembly/test) could not fulfill the time-to-market benefit as the IDM provides for advanced product development. To integrate each single chain node becomes
the important topic for advanced product breakthrough. A new design collaboration platform is proposed to address this integration issue.
Study was conducted among this semiconductor value chain for the DFM (Design for Manufacturing) issue. The design collaboration platform addresses the inter-firm communication interface among the value chain to provide more concurrent value chain knowledge integration.
By applying Fine’s double helix model with the evidence from DFM case, I successfully predict the re-integration trend of semiconductor industry post the disintegration model.

Bases génétiques de la dysplasie fibromusculaire : une approche d’étude d’exome et de génétique épidémiologique / Understanding the genetic basis of fibromuscular dysplasia using approaches of whole exome sequencing and genetic epidemiologyKiando, Soto Romuald 08 July 2016 (has links)
La dysplasie fibromusculaire artérielle (DFM) est un groupe de pathologies vasculaires non inflammatoires, et non athéromateuses de la paroi artérielle. Elle est caractérisée par la sténose, l'occlusion, l’anévrisme ou la dissection des artères de petit et moyen calibres, en particulier les artères rénales et le tronc supra-aortique. La DFM est un facteur de risque de l’hypertension et de l’accident vasculaire cérébral. Elle touche essentiellement les femmes (80% des cas) de moins de 50 ans. La prévalence en population générale est inconnue et les estimations varient de 0.4% pour les formes cliniques à 4% dans une cohorte de donneurs de reins. Une agrégation familiale a été démontrée et une composante génétique suggérée. L'objectif de mon travail de thèse était de caractériser les bases génétiques la DFM. Dans la première partie, nous avons analysé des variants génétiques rares générés par séquençage d'exomes chez 16 cas apparentés de DFM issus de 7 fratries. Aucun gène majeur n’était muté pour l’ensemble des fratries ou pour au moins 3 fratries sur 7. Cependant, nous avons pu mettre en évidence puis validé un enrichissement en variants rares à fort potentiel fonctionnel de quatre gènes candidats pour la DFM (MYLK, OBSCN, DYNC2H1, RNF213) en combinant l’approche de séquençage d’exomes et l’étude d’association gène entier de 62767 variants rares (MAF < 5%) générés par génotypage avec la puce Exome-chip chez 249 cas non apparentés de DFM et 689 témoins. Cependant, l’implication de ces gènes dans la DFM doit être confirmée dans d’autres familles, et par des études de validations fonctionnelles. Dans la seconde partie, nous avons étudié l'association avec la DFM de 25606 variants fréquents (MAF ≥ 5%) de l’Exome-chip. Les résultats majeurs obtenus ont été répliqués dans une première étude (402 cas de DFM et 2537 témoins) puis dans 3 autres études incluant 512 cas de DFM et 669 témoins. La méta-analyse de l’ensemble a permis d’associer à la DFM le polymorphisme rs9349379-A situé dans l’intron du gène PHACTR1 (OR=1,39 [1,39-1,54] ; P=7,36 ×10-10). Ce variant est aussi un facteur de risque pour la maladie coronaire, la migraine et la dissection de l’artère cervicale. Des études complémentaires conduites chez 2458 volontaires non malades ont permis de montrer que l’allèle à risque pour la DFM, rs9349379-A est associé avec une augmentation de l’épaisseur intima média (P=1,97×10-4) et du rapport de la paroi sur la lumière artérielle (P=0,002), deux paramètres décrits comme augmentés chez les cas de DFM dans des études antérieures. Ensuite, PHACTR1 a été détecté par immunohistochimie dans l’endothélium et les cellules musculaires lisses de carotides dysplasiques et non dysplasiques avec une expression augmentée de PHACTR1 pour les porteurs de l’allèle à risque de DFM dans des cultures primaires de fibroblastes humains (N=86, P=0,003). Enfin, l’invalidation de Phactr1 chez le poisson zèbre conduit à une dilatation des vaisseaux indiquant un défaut du développement vasculaire. Ce travail confirme le caractère multifactoriel et hétérogène de la DFM et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives pour évaluer l’ensemble de la variabilité génomique des patients de DFM par des approches massives de génétique épidémiologique. / Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a group of nonatherosclerotic and noninflammatory vascular diseases leading to stenosis, aneurysm, dissection and/or occlusion of medium-sized arteries, in particular the renal and extracranial cervical arteries. Clinical manifestations of FMD are hypertension, dizziness, pulsatile tinnitus, transient ischemic attack or stroke, according to the involved arterial beds. FMD occurs predominantly (80% of cases) in females under 50 years with a variable prevalence estimation from 0.4% for asymptomatic clinical relevant forms to 4% in potential renal donors. The pathogenesis of FMD is unknown and a genetic origin is suspected given its demonstrated familial aggregation. The aim of my thesis work was to characterize genetic basis of FMD. In the first part of this thesis, we analyzed whole exome sequencing data in 16 related FMD cases from seven families. No gene harbors variants that were shared by all affected members in at least three out seven families. Using combined strategy of whole exome sequencing and gene based association study of 62,767 rare variants (MAF < 5%) generated by Exome‐chip arrays in 249 unrelated FMD cases and 689 controls, we have identified and validated an enrichment of rare and putatively functional variants in four candidates genes (MYLK, OBSCN, DYNC2H1 and RNF213). This results need to be validated in other FMD families and by functional analysis. In the second part, we analyzed 25,606 common variants (MAF ≥ 5%) generated by Exome‐chip array. Top loci were replicated in first replication study (402 cases and 2,537 controls) and in 3 others studies (512 cases and 669 controls). Meta-analysis of all including 1,154 unrelated FMD cases and 3,895 controls allowed identification of association between FMD and rs9349379-A (OR=1.39 [1.39-1.54]; P=7.4×10‐10). rs9349379 is intronic to PHACTR1, a risk locus for coronary artery disease, migraine, and cervical artery dissection. The analyses of geometrical parameters of carotids from 2,458 healthy volunteers indicated higher intima media thickness (P = 1.97×10‐4) and wall to lumen ratio (P = 0.002) in rs9349379‐A carriers, suggesting indices of carotid hypertrophy as previously described in carotids of FMD patients. Immunohistochemistry detected PHACTR1 in endothelium and smooth muscle cells of FMD and normal human carotids. The expression of PHACTR1 by genotypes in primary human fibroblasts showed higher expression in rs9349379‐A carriers (N=86, P=0.003). Phactr1 knockdown in zebrafish resulted in dilated vessels indicating subtle impairment of vascular development. This work confirms the multifactorial and heterogeneous genetic architecture of the FMD and opens new opportunities to evaluate all of genomic variability of FMD patients with massive genetic epidemiology approaches.

Contribución metodológica en técnicas de diseñar para fabricaciónFerrer Real, Inés 23 April 2007 (has links)
En el proceso de diseño se toman decisiones que pueden afectar a la fabricabilidad del producto. Cuando el diseñador es experto, considera las limitaciones, las propiedades y el coste de fabricación en la fase de materialización o de detalle. El problema surge cuando el diseñador no es experto o cuando no hay suficiente información y conocimiento de fabricación disponible. Tomando como referencia la teoría de Diseño Axiomático y las técnicas de DFM, se propone una metodología para identificar, definir y formalizar la información de fabricación que debería estar disponible en el diseño para diseñar para fabricar (DFM). También se propone un prototipo de modelo de información para desarrollar una futura herramienta informática que facilitaría la aplicación de esta metodología y que permitiría guiar al diseñador durante el diseño. La metodología ha sido aplicada a una biela de un motor de combustión interna alternativo (MCIA), y a los procesos que se están usando actualmente para fabricarla: forja en matriz cerrada y forja de polvo de metal. / Experience and knowledge of the designer are key elements during the design process. In the embodiment and detailed design phases is when the expert designers take into account the manufacturing process constraints, capabilities and costs. A problem arises when the designer is inexpert or when not enough manufacturing information and knowledge is available. This work presents a methodology, based on the Axiomatic Design Theory and on DFM techniques, to determine the explicit manufacturing process knowledge that the designer should have to design for manufacturing. This methodology has been the basis to develop the model information approach. This model is the first step to develop software to assist in the methodology application and to guide the designer during the design process. The methodology has been applied to a particular component (connecting rod). The manufacturing processes considered are forging and powder metallurgy, which are the main processes currently used in the manufacturing of connecting rods.

Produktionsoptimering av elektromagnetiska omrörare - "ORD 43P" och "EM Stabilizer"Kabroo, Carl Gustaf, Willenius, Robert January 2013 (has links)
Examensarbetet inom produktutveckling – konstruktion utfördes under perioden februari till juni 2013 och omfattar 15 högskolepoäng (C-nivå), och är den slutliga kursen inom högskoleingenjörsprogrammet Innovation och produktdesign. Examensarbetet behandlade problematiken kring produktionsanpassning och kostnadsoptimering av två stycken elektromagnetiska omrörare vid företaget ABB, Process Automation, Metallurgy i Västerås. Efter kontakt med handledaren från ABB, Jan-Erik Eriksson, påbörjades projektarbetet med att tillverkningsanpassa konstruktionen av produkterna ORD 43P och EM Stabilizer. För att åstadkomma kostnadsoptimerad och produktionsanpassad konstruktion tillämpade författarna följande produktutvecklingsverktyg: Design for Cost, Design for Manufacture och Design for Assembly. För att kontrollera att konstruktionen blev optimal, men också att den inte brister under belastning använde examensarbetarna det datorbaserade hållfasthetsverktyget finita elementmetoden i CAD-programmet SolidWorks. Val av komponenter baserades på komponenternas pris per kilo. För att välja det optimala materialet, det vill säga högsta hållfasthet till lägsta pris använde författarna materialdatabasprogrammet CES EduPack. De utvalda materialen från programmet kunde inte författarna påfinna som standard på marknaden, varför författarna ändrade strategi till att jämföra och välja material utifrån marknadsundersökning av standardmaterial hos leverantörer. ORD 43Ps komponenter optimerades konstruktionsmässigt gentemot befintliga komponenter och härvstag och isolerplattor kostnadsreducerades markant. Komponenten stomme grundutförande undersöktes översiktligt. Genom att produktutveckla komponenterna härvstag, isolerplattor och stomme grundutförande minskade kostnaderna för ORD 43P med 2,47 %. Författarna ansåg att ORD 43Ps totala kostnader kan minska mellan 10-25 % eftersom många av dess komponenter är överdimensionerade och består av dyrare material än vad som krävs. EM Stabilizer’s komponenter, lock och tryckluftsslang, utformades med optimal konstruktion och kostnadsreducerades. Genom att produktutveckla komponenterna lock och tryckluftsslang minskade kostnaderna för EM Stabilizer med 1,3 %. Författarna förmodar att EM Stabilizer’s kostnader kan minska, eftersom den är relativt ny på marknaden. ABB vill säkerställa att produkten uppnår sin garanterade livslängd genom att överdimensionera många av produktens komponenter och använda dyrare material än vad som är nödvändigt. / The thesis in product development – design was carried out between February and June 2013 and includes 15 credits (C-level), and is the final course of the Bachelor Program in Engineering, Innovation and Product Design. The thesis dealt with the problem of adaptation to production and cost optimization of two pieces of electromagnetic stirrers at the company ABB, Process Automation, Metallurgy in Västerås. After contact with the supervisor from ABB, Jan-Erik Eriksson, the project work commenced to adapt the manufacturing design of the product ORD 43P and EM Stabilizer. To achieve cost-optimized production and production adapted design, the authors applied the following product development tools: Design for Cost, Design for Manufacture and Design for Assembly. To verify that the design was optimal, but also that it did not break during stress, the authors used the computer based module finite element method of the CAD program SolidWorks. The selection of components was based on the component’s price per kilo. To select the optimum material, that is high strength and affordable, the authors used the material database software CES EduPack. The materials selected from CES EduPack could not be found by the authors as standard material at the market. Therefore, the authors changed strategy to compare and select materials based on market research of standard materials with suppliers. The components of ORD 43P were optimized in terms of design in comparison with existing components coil bracket and insulation boards. They were also cost reduced significantly. The component frame base was examined briefly. Through product development the components coil bracket, insulating boards and frame base the total cost of ORD 43P was reduced by 2,47 %. The authors found that the total cost of ORD 43P could be reduced between 10-25 % as many of its components are oversized and made of more expensive materials than needed. The components of EM Stabilizer, cover and pneumatic hose, were designed with optimum design and was cost reduced.Through product development the components cover and pneumatic hose the costs of EM stabilizer were reduced by 1,3 %. The authors assume that the costs of the EM Stabilizer can be reduced, because it is relatively new at the market. ABB want to ensure that the product reach its guaranteed life by over-sizing many of the components of the product and use more expensive material than necessary. / Kostnadssänkningsprojekt
