The paper presents a tool for selecting appropriate Design for Manufacturing and Design for Assembly rules during product design while considering Design for Disassembly rules and end-of-life recovery conditions. This tool exposes the relations between the various types of design rules and end...

... This paper evaluates the effect of making a subjective decision in a design for assembly time analysis. An example is found in the first set of questions for estimating handling time of a part the user chose “parts are easy to grasp and manipulate” as opposed to “parts present handling...

... The work in this paper uses neural networks to develop a relationship model between assembly times and complexity metrics applied to defined mate connections within SolidWorks assembly models. This model is then used to develop a Design for Assembly (DFA) automation tool that can predict...
