The new design: the changing role of industrial engineers in the design process through the use of simulation
Year: 1999
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The ever-increasing use of Digital Manufacturing and Virtual Factory environments is allowing the Industrial Engineer (IE) to be brought into the design process as a true systems integrator.The shop-floor role moves into the computer world as digital mockups, rapid prototyping, assembly simulation, ergonomic workplace assessment, and robotic simulation necessitate production requirements validation.This panel discussion will provide insight into the current and future use of IE's and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in a multi-disciplinary design environment.Included here in these proceedings are initial position statements from the various participants at the time of its publishing, which formed the basis for the panel discussions.Disclaimers: The views expressed in these position statements are those of the individual panel participants, and do not necessarily represent the views of the employee's company or other individuals employed by the company.
