Choosing dimensions of part surfaces when planning multiproduct processes

Rapid growth and improvement of technological equipment in machining industries stimulate its fast deployment and new product release. However, this increases time and cost of research and development and decreases quality of design solutions. Therefore, at the design stage, it is necessary to consider all possible design solutions taking into account the current situation at the enterprise. To do this, mathematical methods and technological capabilities of the enterprise should be used for generating, choosing, and selecting design solution alternatives. As a result, choosing the dimensions of part surfaces when planning multiproduct processes has reduced the design and technological preparation time, improved the quality of design solutions, and made it possible to use all production capabilities. The developed approach will allow designers to choose reasonable part designs taking into account technological capabilities of a particular multiproduct enterprise in the framework of an efficiently functioning production management system. The method of choosing dimensions of part surfaces in the multiproduct process planning system is intended for engineering companies providing research and development within a production cycle.
