The Design and Manufacturing Institute (DMI) shall assess production base applications of the Automated Concurrent Engineering Software (ACES), a knowledge base design tool, for electronics, especially how this may be applied to augment production and replenishment requirements in the Production Base. This study will assess the design of electronic systems from the viewpoints of production consideration, performance issues (structural, thermal), materials factors, electromagnetic shielding, reliability and costing. In this regard, knowledge of individual aspects of design and manufacturing will be assessed and inter-dependencies between various domains will be evaluated. The advantages of utilizing the concurrent approach and its impact on industry will be described. Also knowledge hierarchy flow-charts and domain specific methodology charts are required. The period of performance for this Aquisition is 12 months. See note #22. Posted 06/24/99 (D-SN346715). (0175)
