Enterprise Design: Integrating Product, Process and Organization

9612327 Mistree将调查制造组织中至少三个不同设计领域的整合，即产品设计、制造工艺设计和组织本身的设计。从历史上看，这些活动是在相对孤立的情况下进行的，由不同时间线上的不同人进行。将讨论以下研究问题：(1)如何实施统一的和数学上严格的方法来设计产品、制造过程和组织本身？(2)如何沿着单一的设计时间表整合和连接这些相互依赖的实体的设计？(3)如何在严格和定量的设计环境中模拟许多竞争和/或协作参与者的战略行动？(4)面对如此激烈的竞争和协作的力量，如何设计管理战略和政策？这些问题的答案将建立在系统论在产品设计中的应用和博弈论的严格数学实现上。如果成功，这项研究将促进定制设计和定制系统的集成产品和流程开发，并将影响商业和国防部门的物资采购。这将有利于更有效地利用资源和更快地响应客户订单。

9612327 Mistree The integration of at least three distinct design areas in manufacturing organizations will be investigated, namely, product design, manufacturing process design, and design of the organization itself. Historically these activities have been carried out in relative isolation, by separate people on different timelines. The following research questions will be addressed: (1) How can a unified and mathematically rigorous approach be implemented for designing products, manufacturing processes, and the organization itself? (2) How can the design of these interdependent entities be integrated and connected along a single design timeline? (3) How can the strategic actions of many competitive and/or collaborative players be modeled in a rigorous and quantitative design environment? (4) How can management strategy and policy be designed in the face of such competitive and collaborative forces? Answers to these questions will be built on applications of systems theory to product design and a rigorous mathematical implementation of game theory. If successful, this research will facilitate integrated product and process development of designed-to-order and made-to-order systems, and it will impact materiel acquisition in both the commercial and defense sectors. This will have the benefit of achieving more effective utilization of resources and quicker response to customer orders.
