Collaborative Design of the Injection Mould

Abstract

In this paper, a method for injection mould of concurrent development was put forward based on graph theory and design structure matrix. In activities identification phase, coupled activity was identified by Boolean operation of adjacent matrix, accessible matrix and strong connected matrix. After re-engineering and optimizing, a structured model is established to open out the principle of the concurrent injection mould design process. The method has the advantage of flexibility to deal with the interrelationship of various tasks, which greatly improved the efficiency of development.
