Developing Manufacturing System Platforms by Daniel G. H. Sørensen

PhD Defense by Daniel G. H. Sørensen As collections of standardised assets, forming a structure from which a stream of derivative systems can be developed, platforms dictate which features of a product or system can be changed to achieve the desired variety and function. For manufacturers, manufacturing system platforms are a way to achieve manufacturing systems capable of changing according their needs, accelerating new product introduction and development of new manufacturing systems. They represent a consolidation of existing production facilities, and the definitive place to start when a new production development task is undertaken. Developing and implementing these manufacturing system platforms remains a challenging task. To address issues within manufacturing system platform development, a design science framework is employed to develop and apply new and existing vocabulary, classifications, models, methods and instantiations. Inspiration is taken from product development, software architecture, and system engineering, using concepts from all three to grow the knowledge base on manufacturing system platforms, applying existing and new concepts in an industrial context through a series of case studies.
