SAE International resources
for advanced manufacturing
FOCUS: ADVANCED
MANUFACTURING
has written a book (or more) on advanced
manufacturing. An internationally recognized expert
with more than a dozen patents, Bullen currently is
Chief Engineer, Advanced Manufacturing Technology,
Northrop Grumman Corporation, Space Systems.
His most recent SAE book, The Future of Airplane
Factory: Digitally Optimized Intelligent Airplane
Assembly, defines the architecture, key building
blocks, and roadmap for actualizing a future airplane
factory (FAF) that is digitally optimized for intelligent
airplane assembly. They fit and integrate with other
FAF building blocks that aggregate to a Digitally
Optimized Intelligent Airplane Factory (DOIAF).
The word " intelligent " as used in the book refers to
the ability of a system to make right decisions and
take right actions in the highly dynamic and fluid
environment of the modern airplane manufacturing
space. The event-driven dynamics inherent in the
complexity of this environment drive the need for
expert knowledge which resides in intelligence
systems incorporating the experience of experts.
Expert knowledge need not be smart, brilliant, or
possess genius as long as the outcomes are derived
from right decisions resulting in right actions-applied
rapidly to sustain an optimized factory enterprise.
The power of the DOIAF is found not only in its
ability to unify the factory, reduce touch labor,
improve quality, and streamline throughput, but also
in its significant reduction in above-the-shop-floor
support and management. If the use of a DOIAF can
be viewed as a holistic mechanism, then the human
can be the agent engaging with that mechanism,
improving negotiations for pricing, contracts, or other
person-to-person events that require instinct and
relationship. n
