Abstract. The Engineering Optimization and Modeling Center at Reykjavik University has been carrying out research on antenna CAD, including the simulation-driven design of novel antenna topologies. However, simulation is not enough to validate a design: a custom RF anechoic chamber has been built to quantify antenna performance, particularly in terms of field properties such as radiation patterns. Such experiments require careful positioning of the antenna in the chamber accurately in 3-axis with a short development time, challenging material constraints, and minimal funding. Axiomatic Design Theory principles were applied to develop an automated 3-axis positioner system for a reference antenna and the antenna to be calibrated. Each axis can be individually controlled with a repeatability of 1 degree. This 3000 USD device can be fabricated using easily available components and rapid prototyping tools.

“…Specifically, we deal with manufacturing systems consisting of "the arrangement and operation of elements (machines, tools, material, people and information) to produce a value-added physical, informational or service product" [Suh, 1998]. Our inputs are typically raw materials (many nuclear) that through the functions of the system are converted to a material product with a more defined form.…”

“…Suh et al (1998) presented the first study using AD principles for a manufacturing system design based on the independence axiom. Cochran et al (2000) proposed a method based on the principles of lean management and the independence axiom of axiomatic design principles which converted production system to small, flexible, and non-central production units to design a production system that could be managed more effectively.…”

International audienceThe purpose of this paper is to test the validity of Axiomatic Design (AD) based complexity theory as an explanatory construct and as a methodological guidance for the early detection of need for change in manufacturing systems in order to maintain competitiveness even in turbulent environmental conditions. The AD approach postulates that there are general design principles that govern the behaviour of a system. This proposition is empirically investigated for a mixed-model assembly system by the examination of a long-term study conducted in a medium-sized industrial company. The findings of the long-term study suggest the introduction of a company specific cycle of functional periodicity in combination with a set of functional requirements working together as a regular trigger to detect whether the system range is moving away from the once defined manufacturing system's design range. The paper extends the research work made in the field of Axiomatic Design by focusing on mechanisms that help to control the effects of time-dependent complexity in manufacturing (re)design. Examples of methods and lead measures are given that can be used by organizations in early detecting and controlling complexity driven efficiency losses in manufacturing systems
