Organised by: Cranfield UniversityDuring progressive product design and development in the aerospace industry, a lack of effective
communication between the sequential functions of design, manufacturing and assembly often causes
delays and setbacks whereby production capabilities are unable to realise design intent in high-complexity
product models. As a result, there is a need to formalise the progressive release of an engineering model to
production functions during New Product Introduction (NPI) via defining key stages of definition maturity and
information requirements through a structured process. This paper describes the development of a
framework to facilitate optimal ‘design for manufacture’ based on current manufacturing capabilities within
the aerospace industry.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan
