Paperback. Rapid development observed in modern production is firmly connected with the development of new assembly and disassembly systems. In small batch production, where fast changes of products and short development times of new products are demanded, development of reliable, fast-adaptable and self-teaching assembly systems can be observed. Important fields of product development such as product design, development of planning systems, simulation and modelling, logistics, mechatronics and sensors, development of new assembly system components as well as collecting and processing of knowledge are essential for the development of new intelligent assembly systems (IAS). The aim of this colloquium specialised on IAD is to highlight this topic, show the actual results of the research and development work, set the direction of future development and analyse the possibilities of introducing of IAD into the production process.Papers, presented at the w

Rapid development observed in modern production systems is firmly connected with the development of new assembly and disassembly systems. One of the oldest forms of industrial production, assembly, and its twin area disassembly, have both enjoyed tremendous modernisation in the era of the Information Revolution. New enabling technologies, including prominent examples such as virtual CAD, Design for Assembly and Disassembly (DFAD), Robotic and Intelligent Assembly and Flexible Assembly (FA) are now becoming commonplace. This volume presents the papers from the 2nd IFAC Workshop on 'Intelligent Assembly and Disassembly - IAD 2001'. The colloquium highlighted the issues of IAD, showed the actual results of the research and development work, set the direction of future development, and analysed the possibility of introducing IAD into production processes. Including 3 invited papers, and 17 technical papers authored by researchers from across the globe, the papers cover important fields of product development such as product design, development of planning systems, simulation and modelling, as well as sessions on e-manufacturing and education.

This unique book provides a guide to the selection of appropriate production and manufacturing methods for postgraduate and professional manufacturing engineers. It starts by helping the reader to identify the required objectives of industrial management for their particular situation. Having identified the objectives an analytical assessment of the available production and management methods is made. The analytical system presents an objective method of production selection. For example, this practical book will help the reader to decide whether or not a local Just-in-Time process is needed or a full chain JIT method is needed. Alternatively the problem may be deciding between set-up time reduction or changeover time reduction. Should TQM be ceded to PCIs? This book covers nearly all methods of production and manufacturing and will prove the most comprehensive guide to choosing and using these methods. Only book of its kind available Widest coverage of methods available Analytical approach to decision making
