From page 19...
... Computerized cost-estimating tools, design assessment and models of the manufacturing process are not generally available in easy-to-use packages that are integrated with data from other functions in the company. As the product progresses through its various development phases and enters the initial production design phase, manufacturing value process engineers periodically review the engineering drawings to identify producibility issues and make cost evaluations.

From page 20...
... Techniques are emerging to model manufacturing processes to improve yield, material flow, and product quality. Manufacturing engineers are, however, just beginning to use computer capabilities to assist in process planning, tool management, proactive quality control, and automatic data acquisition and testing.

From page 21...
... All required production documentation, from routing sheets through time standards and related job sheets, for all operations, including inspection, will logically flow from the engineering data. Also included in the overall information flow will be the numerical data necessary to run the automated factory equipment (machining, assembly, and inspection)

From page 22...
... In the area of critical and complex processes, the advanced sensor data capture and analysis capabilities will allow fast, precise process capability and performance analysis studies. This will cause a fundamental switch in the maintenance of manufacturing resources from preventive maintenance to predictive maintenance.
