Modular Product Family Design for Pumping Unit Based on Design Structure Matrix

Abstract:

A new method was introduced in this paper, which would help to build the modular product family for pumping unit. Design Structure Matrix (DSM) was used in the process of the pumping unit’s module planning avoiding from the disadvantages of inconsistent rules and improper scale. Taking the case of the beam-pumping unit, some specific techniques were discussed in this paper such as DSM’s building, tearing and clustering as well as the analysis of their results. And the product family of this kind of beam-pumping unit was designed under the result of the modules and the principle of tabular layouts of article characteristics. This study could be widely used as a kind of quantitative method for modular design of other products.
