The objective of this research is to lay the groundwork for                establishment of data and knowledge bases and tools to support                  strategic product design.  Strategic product design seeks to combine            functional and manufacturing design of a product, including life-               cycle issues.  The research will provide a needed scientific basis              for the growing move toward concurrent engineering which is                     presently carried out by dedicated teams of experts with few or no              computer tools to aid them.  Prior work has pointed to three areas              where results are needed and the means to achieve them are                      available: generation and evaluation of alternate assembly                      sequences, combination of the above with economic analysis and                  synthesis tools for designing assembly systems, design of test and              quality control strategies, and equipment selection and task                    assignment.  This research is based on the results of NSF Grant DMC-            8417949 entitled Computer-Aided Design of Flexible Assembly Systems.
