Abstract
Manufacturing has evolved to become a critical
element of the competitive skill set of defense
aerospace firms. Given the changes in the
acquisition environment and culture; traditional
“thrown over the wall” means of developing
and manufacturing products are insufficient.
Also, manufacturing systems are complex
systems that need to be carefully designed in a
holistic manner and there are shortcomings
with available tools and methods to assist in the
design of these systems. This paper outlines the
generation and validation of a framework to
guide this manufacturing system design process.
