Product And Process Based Assembly Time Estimation In Engineering Design, Michael Miller
Product And Process Based Assembly Time Estimation In Engineering Design, Michael Miller
All Theses
This thesis presents the research and development of two assembly time estimation techniques for the automotive industry. Both of these techniques are capable of being implemented early in the product life-cycle of a vehicle and require information available in this phase. Currently, assembly time estimation is performed after production has begun and is a tedious manual process requiring hours of motion-time method studies for each assembly activity. The techniques proposed in this thesis can both be performed prior to the start of production and are capable of being performed automatically after the initial mapping.
The first assembly time estimation technique …

Predicting The Thermal Performance For The Multi-Objective Vehicle Underhood Packing Optimization Problem, Ravi Teja Katragadda
All Theses
The ever increasing demands towards improvement in vehicle performance and passenger comfort have led the automotive manufacturers to further enhance the design in the early stages of the vehicle development process. Though, these design changes enhance the overall vehicle performance to an extent, the placement of these components under the car hood also plays a vital role in increasing the vehicle performance. The study of the placement of these components in an automobile underhood forms a 3-Dimensional packaging problem. In the past, a study on the automobile underhood packaging problem was conducted and a multi objective optimization routine with three …
