Use of the manufacturing system design decomposition for comparative analysis and effective design of production systems
本文展示了如何利用制造系统设计分解（MSDD）来做出有效的成本和系统设计决策，通过比较研究说明实现MSDD定义的功能要求如何降低总成本，旨在推动制造系统开发由工程科学指导而非简单复制他人做法。
The focus of this paper is on the use of the Manufacturing System Design Decomposition (MSDD) to make effective cost and production system design decisions. A comparative study is conducted to illustrate how and why the total cost is reduced when the functional requirements defined by the MSDD are achieved. The ultimate goal of this research was to advance manufacturing and production system development to being guided by engineering science and design rather than the common practice of duplicating another person’s or entity’s notion of the best physical implementation.
