ABSTRACT:
A method for efficiently implementing an N-step manufacturing process for producing a mechanical part may include creating a parametric master model that represents a part to be produced in an N-step manufacturing process. The method may also include using the parametric master model to create process plans for the N-step manufacturing process. After manufacturing step i of the N-step manufacturing process, the method may include receiving information concerning values of parameters in the parametric master model as they exist after manufacturing step i of the N-step manufacturing process. Updates to the parametric master model may be made based on the information that was received. The process plans corresponding to manufacturing step i+1 of the N-step manufacturing process may be updated based on the updated parametric master model.
