Abstract:
Increased possibilities to utilize digital tools in industrialization process where a product move from conceptualization toward mass production is challenged with how to develop resilience in such process. Several digital tools such as as CAD, CAE, Production flow analysis, assembly analysis, and off-line programming of robots and CNC machines are commonly used at industry for both product development and production. There are also many good initiatives such as computational multidisciplinary design optimization or design automation at aircraft industry to integrate such digital tools and increase efficiency of the generatign and distributing of information. However to maximize the benefit of digitalization, a fully digitalized platform is required where all parties including product development team, manufacturing resources, suppliers and even customers can contribute efficiently. Although, establishing such a digitilized platfrom seems very promising, it confronts many challnegs in a large firm. Hence, this paper , based on theoretical outlook related to industrial observations, will explore challenges and opportunities related to digitalization of product development and manufacturing process.
