Objective
INTEREST aims to develop a prototype integrated information system for the design and structural integrity analysis of metallic components, in a distributed business environment. The intention is to produce a major improvement in the sharing, exchange and flow of information between systems and engineers engaged in durability and reliability studies.
The primary business objectives will be,
- To improve the quality of the product assurance process so that it is workflow-enabled and thus repeatable and auditable, in accordance with ISO 9000;
- To reduce design lead-time by around 5% on a typical new automotive model through a reduction of around 30% in failures on prototype cast, forged and sheet material parts.
The innovative basis of the prototype system will be a new, workflow-enabled, structural integrity assessment process and support tools which exploits 'best practice' information and a single conceptual data model, based on STEP.
