Abstract:

Manufacturing engineering data validation is a critical engineering activity in the product realization process. This paper identifies a set of manufacturing engineering data which is required for production in a machine shop, examines error sources, and proposes a validation methodology for implementation in a computer integrated concurrent engineering environment. In a sense, manufacturing data validation is similar to the practice of inspecting materials and components coming into a shop--the quality of manufacturing engineering data must also be assured before it is released to the shop floor. The ultimate goal of data validation research is to establish techniques that will enable a production facility to produce a product correctly the first time.
