REVERSE ENGINEERING ON PROCESS CYCLE TIME IN A MEDIUM SCALE INDUSTRY (original) (raw)

Reverse Engineering on Process Cycle Time in a Medium Scale Industry – Data Anthology

Quantitative and qualitative techniques [1] provide a tradeoff between breadth and depth and between generalizability and targeting to specific (sometimes very limited) populations. However, beyond the debate over the relative virtues of these approaches and discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of different types of instruments, the qualitative data collection is the most suitable approach. Observation, particularly participant observation, has been used in a variety of disciplines as a tool for collecting data about people, processes, and cultures in qualitative research. In view of for our research, reverse engineering approach [2], [3] and its practicability of minimizing process cycle time [4], [5] in the existing industries, the benefits of the qualitative approach are more appropriate for collecting the richer information and for deeper insight into the phenomenon under study.

Management of the Reverse Engineering Process in the Plastics Industry

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2018

The management of the Reverse Engineering (RE) process for polymeric parts is a relatively complicated one. Composition on this market segment is tough due to the fact that approximately 85% of the machinery and equipment industry has migrated from the steel parts industry to the plastics industry over the last 30 years. This is why not only old mechanical parts and assemblies are subject to the RE process, but also new parts / products that competition is trying to reproduce. Therefore, the goal is to achieve the RE process of superior quality at the lowest cost and in the shortest possible time (if possible in a fully automated system). The RE process management involves selecting the hardware, selecting the RE software, and adopting the proper technique for obtaining surfaces (or solids, as the case may be). All these steps depend on the quality of the product to be achieved and the speed at which the results are obtained. The paper presents a concrete case of RE, solved by a cer...

A Framework For Reverse Engineering Process1

2000

As the 20th century draws to a close, software has become one of the major driving forces in business, government, military equipment and operations, and in academics. In the business and military sectors, we have millions of lines of old code that need to be "re-engineered" so that they can conform to the new modern technology. One way of getting

Reverse Engineering Applications in Manufacturing Industries: An Overview

With the evolving needs of today's manufacturing industries in the area of product development, 3D CAD model has become very important. Often in many situations there is a need to remanufacture a physical part where the CAD data is not available with the manufacturer or is lost because of several reasons. In such cases reverse engineering is found to be an effective and efficient tool. Reverse engineering is an approach where the physical parts are digitized in order to obtain a virtual model. Digitization can be done either manually or it can be fully automatized for better and fast scans. The virtual models so obtained are helpful in many applications but often used for redesign operations. This paper reviews the reverse engineering process and its application in various manufacturing industries. After a brief introduction, methodology used in reverse engineering and its applications in different fields have been discussed. Future scope of RE is also discussed in this paper.

RE (reverse engineering) as necessary phase by rapid product development

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2006

The engineering design supported by CAD/CAE techniques allows optimising the product concept before manufacturing with assistance of CAM, in management for rapid product development and rapid set-up production in advance. For some product development processes reverse engineering (RE) allows to generate surface models by three-dimensional (3D)-scanning technique, and consequently this methodology permits to manufacture different parts (for cars, for household appliances) and tools (moulds, dies, press tools) in a short development period. The aim of this paper is to present a brief overview of RE as a necessary phase which provide benefits to the design and production processes in advance.

Reverse Engineering in Product Manufacturing

Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research, 2019

In the field of manufacturing and design industry, reverse engineering has proved to be beneficial for the growth and development of the mechanical industries. This technique has been generally accepted as an effective product design and development process technique. In standard computerized manufacturing system, the operating order normally begins with the concept of the product and finishes with various types of machine or CNC operations to turn raw material into finished product which is ready to enter in the market. Using some digitization methods, it is always necessary to replicate a CAD model of the actual component where the documents and drawings prepared by the designers are not accessible and are needed for review and modifications to create an enhanced product design. The essential steps involved in reverse engineering method include classification of geometric structures and associated surface depictions, segmentation & the surface fittings of the basic & free-forms model shape & the development of realistic CAD models. This paper discusses about the technique of reverse engineering and its implementation fields related to the advancement of product design. Redesign of the product and reverse engineering work would substantially minimize the costs and time required for manufacturing the physical components in the manufacturing industries.
