Abstract:In the automotive industry an integrated set of manufacturing engineering activities lie on the critical path of the Vehicle Development Process (VDP). After the product integration design is finalized, the Production Tool Design and Build (PTDB) processes becomes the VDP critical path. It is in the PTDB where virtual launch and validation activities are performed. To increase throughput of the engineering factory and reduce product development cost, we propose a research initiative in the area of Virtual Laun… Show more
