The dedicated algorithms for design and technological preproduction and information support of production process

In this article, the dedicated algorithms for information support of product life cycle, on condition that the engineering-manufacturing information is frequently changed, are represented. During a pilot-batch and short-scale manufacturing process, including a manufacturing for an order, it is required to show the modifications and different changes, that have been taken in the design documentation for the items produced. An introduction of two on-line documents, the technological structure of the item and the shop-to-shop list, allowed for dynamically reflecting the information about the changes when providing material security for production. The implementation of the proposed algorithms at the JSC ARPE “TEMP-AVIA” resulted in qualitative changes for the information support of the production, that allowed for eliminating human factor while development and correction of the documents, replacement the paper documents with on-line confirmation, thus focusing the efforts of a designer on a quality of production and due dates. An application of the technological structure of the item and the shop-to-shop list improved the understanding between a designer, a technical engineer, acquisition manager and manufacturing shops, that provided for affordable delivery dates, manufacturing dates of the parts, and finally, quality of items produced. The applied algorithms substantially simplified and accelerated an ability to reflect the design changes in the production process and feature quantitative characteristics, and specifically, a speed needed to put the documents to start the manufacturing programs was increased in 20 times in comparison to a manual start provided by making a tracing paper and filling the copies. The above algorithms can be implemented at any instrument making plant. The authors propose to solve a problem by using two Russian-made software products - T-Fles PLM and “1C: A management of manufacturing enterprise”.
