User-group Requirements based Approach for the Standardization of Parts

Standardization of mechanical parts across enterprise and in large scope is benefit to promote the reuse degree of parts and improve the specialization and co-ordination of industrial production. In this paper, a user-group requirements based approach for standardization of part is proposed. The main idea of the approach is to collect, statistic and analyze the users' requirements of mechanical parts through the web-based parts library and then construct the evaluation index system to instead the traditional parts spectrum analysis which used in GT (Group Technology). The key steps and methods are discussed and the application case is introduced for verifying the proposed approach.
