MDO Workflow

Results

Take away

  • It is possible to include manufacturing in MDO workflows by including manufacturing cost analysis tools in the workflow.
  • With the help of tools developed in Agile 4.0 defining your design problem and solving it through an MDO workflow can be done efficiently and effectively.
  • Running the MDO workflows in a multi company can be challenging. It is important to include features that ensures the workflow can run robustly.
