“…Then, an effective IHS algorithm for ASP problems is proposed, which modifies HS as follows: (1) proposing an effective encoding methods, (2) introducing OBL strategy to initialize HM, (3) using novel method to improvise new harmonies, and (4) adapting local search strategy. After that, IHS is tested with two experimental cases.…”

“…Assembly sequence planning (ASP) plays a key role in mechanical assembly, which is essential to instructing design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA) [1], improve the quality of an assembly, and to reduce assembly costs [2]. With the development of agile manufacturing and the prevalence of customization, the factories flexibility and assembly process intelligence are expected to achieve higher requirements.…”

As a typical, discrete, and NP-hard problem, assembly sequence planning (ASP) has direct impact on assembly quality and costs. So far, lots of graph-based and meta-heuristic approaches cannot solve this problem effectively. This paper proposes an effective ASP algorithm based on the harmony search (HS) algorithm, which has an outstanding global search ability to obtain the global optimum more efficiently. To solve the ASP problem, an improved harmony search (IHS) algorithm is proposed mainly in four aspects: (1) an encoding of harmony is designed based on ASP problems; (2) an initial harmony memory (HM) is established using the opposition-based learning (OBL) strategy; (3) a particular way to improvise a new harmony is developed; and (4) a local search strategy is introduced to accelerate the convergence speed. Finally, the advantage of the proposed ASP algorithm over the competing algorithms in solving ASP problems is verified by two experiments. Moreover, the proposed ASP algorithm is applied to a practical problem, a propeller of azimuth thruster to verify its practicability.

“…The commercial software tools identified during the review concern both design tools and simulations tools (i.e., DFMA ® Boothroyd Dewhurst Software, Tecnomatix Dynamo, and Flexible Line Balancing Software). In other cases, the analysis was performed retrieving information from CAD tool, but no information was provided regarding the DFMA software used [53,54]. Moreover, it is interesting to analyse the use of tools versus the type of publication.…”

The design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) is a family of methods belonging to the design for X (DfX) category which goal is to optimize the manufacturing and assembly phase of products. DFMA methods have been developed at the beginning of the 1980s and widely used in both academia and industries since then. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no systematic literature reviews or mapping has been proposed yet in the field of mechanical design. The goal of this paper is to provide a systematic review of DFMA methods applied to mechanical and electro-mechanical products with the aim to collect, analyse, and summarize the knowledge acquired until today and identify future research areas. The paper provides an overview of the DFMA topic in the last four decades (i.e., from 1980 to 2021) emphasizing operational perspectives such as the design phase in which methods are used, the type of products analysed, the adoption of quantitative or qualitative metrics, the tool adopted for the assessment, and the technologies involved. As a result, the paper addresses several aspects associated with the DFMA and different outcomes retrieved by the literature review have been highlighted. The first one concerns the fact that most of the DFMA methods have been used to analyse simple products made of few components (i.e., easy to manage with a short lead-time). Another important result is the lack of valuable DFMA methods applicable at early design phases (i.e., conceptual design) when information is not detailed and presents more qualitative than quantitative data. Both results lead to the evidence that the definition of a general DFMA method and metric adaptable for every type of product and/or design phase is a challenging goal that presents several issues. Finally, a bibliographic map was developed as a suitable tool to visualize results and identify future research trends on this topic. From the bibliometric analysis, it has been shown that the overall interest in DFMA methodologies decreased in the last decade.

An integrated engineering solution used for enhancing the design of a technological device for automated assembly

The paper presents a theoretical approach and a case study upon the use of an advanced CAD solution integrated with another engineering design software solution embedding DFMA concepts, particularly applied within the product and manufacturing process design for technological devices. The main objective of implementing CAD and DfX/DFMA integrated solutions is to guide designers into the product development phase so that a better design can be achieved in a shorter time and with lower costs. The case study analyzes an assembly model developed for an indexing mounting table dedicated for the automated assembling of an industrial electrical plug inlet. The assembly product model has been developed using 3D parametric modeling specific tools, further on it has been subjected to analysis based on DFMA principles and after that its components have been redesigned to respond to the analysis results. Some of the case study results and their interpretation are discussed in the paper content and finally some overall conclusions are included along with some intended future research directions.
