Sequence Optimization

How Automating the Optimization of a Sequence of Processes Reduces Cost and Cycle Time

This paper describes a process and software tool (Sequence Optimizer) designed to reduce lead and launch time by eliminating or minimizing manual join and clamp sequence studies.  Design gaps and part tolerances cause dimensional variation in assemblies using point-based attachment methods such as spot welding, riveting, or bolting. Sequence Optimizer finds the optimal join and clamp sequence from a candidate set resulting in manufactured assemblies as close to nominal as possible.
