It is defined as, "producing maximum variety of products from the minimum variety of materials, tools, parts and processes".
- Establishing standards of measure ↔ by extent, quality, quantity, value, performance, etc.
Aims & Purpose of Standardization:
- Design and production norms.
- Reduce variation in types and grades.
- Achieve quality characteristics in raw material, semi-finished and finished product.
Benefits of Standardization:
- Better quality
- Loner life service
- Easy availability or replacement or maintenance of parts
- Less time and effort required to manufacture.
Principles of Standardization:
- Consensus ↔ general agreement
- Involvement of all stake holders ↔ for the preparation of any standard
- Openness to the public ↔ standard open to public
- State of the Art ↔ Time based technical capability on the relevant consolidated findings of science, technology and experience.
- Coherence of standard collection ↔ no conflicting standards.
Interchangeability
It is defined as, "ability to select components for the assembly at random and fit them together within proper tolerance".
Structure of Interchangeability
- Standard Development Center
- Quality Control Center
- Technical Services Center
- System Certifications Center
Application of Standards in Design and Manufacturing (Information = Design Process + Standard Specifications)
- Support design and manufacturing through direct engineering.
- Requires availability of documentation of existing designs.
- Complete Description.
- Have geometrical data (geometry, topology), technological data (dimensions, tolerance, material, surface finish, etc.) and physical characteristics of part.
- Abundance of Information generated during design process.
- Have product data management systems (which keeps info like design, manufacture, assemble, support, products).
- Purpose
- Have operational and manufacturing economies
- Increase interchangeability of parts
- Promote uniformity of product characteristics
- Modern Views ↔ Product life cycle
- Design for environment
- Green design or eco-design
- Impact of products and their manufacturing
- Use of recyclable material
- Less emission
