Evaluation Model of Product Manufacturability for Rapid Response Design

Abstract:

Rapid Response Design (RRD) attempts to put the product design into effect in the minimum time to satisfy the customer requirements. Product manufacturability has a very important effect on the performance of product design, especially in the progress of rapid response design. The concept of product manufacturability is usually considered as a multi-objective problem. An effective product manufacturability evaluation procedure necessitates the consideration of qualitative criteria, e.g., product quality, as well as quantitative criteria such as material cost in the decision process. This paper purposed an evaluation model of product manufacturability for RRD based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The proposed evaluation model is both effective and efficient.
