During the early stages of any system design, a thorough exploration of the design space
can prove to be challenging and computationally expensive. The challenges are further …

Designing aircraft engines is a complex process in which requirements from multiple
disciplines need to be considered. Decisions about product geometry and tolerances to …

To meet the needs of an array of customers, platforms can provide means to achieve
commonality and distinctiveness among a family of products. However, typically the …

Late detection of producibility problems once a product is in production implies several risks.
In aerospace applications, high manufacturing variation rates on a product can imply design …

New business opportunities are created when the advantage of changeable manufacturing
systems expand beyond increased freedom in production location to increased freedom in …
