A Process Model for Production System Engineering

Published

Author(s)

Charles R. McLean, Swee K. Leong

Abstract

The Systems Integration for Manufacturing Applications (SIMA) Production Project at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working on the integration of a software tools environment for engineering production systems. This paper describes a process model for the engineering production systems and how that model is being used to integrate the commercial software tools into a workstation environment. The tools used to implement the environment are commercial off-the shelf software products offered by a number of different vendors. The project is being undertaken as a collaborative effort between NIST researchers, several universities, and U.S. manufactures.
