Operational Concept Document for the Manufacturing Optimization (MO) system

This is the Operational Concept Document OCD that describes the mission of the Manufacturing Optimization MO System and its operational and support environments. The purpose of the Manufacturing Optimization MO system is to enable each manufacturing specialist to participate in the productprocess development activity concurrently. The system will consist of a set of tools to model the manufacturing processes and centralize the various process tradeoffs. Recommendations can be compared and negotiated among the manufacturing participants. After the manufacturing team has consolidated their position, the results are passed back to the cross functionaltop levelteam for negotiation. The system will consist of the following five modules process analysis, yieldrework modeler, cost estimator, guidelines, and manufacturing advisor, as well as, the integration of current DICE tools.
