This study presents combined usage of axiomatic design principles and simulation in developing and comparison of alternative assembly systems for airplane fuselage panels. In the application, four assembly system alternatives are obtained with axiomatic design methodology and their performance results are obtained using simulation. The simulation results are made available for system designers to see each alternative’s capabilities and make comparison among the alternatives. The application of the proposed combined application of axiomatic design principles and simulation provides a reference guide for system designers to apply in designing other assembly systems design.
Osman Emre CELEK got B.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering) from Uludag University, first M.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering) from Hacettepe University, second M.Sc. (Aerospace Engineering) from Istanbul Technical University, Ph.D. (Mechanical Engineering) from Gazi University in Turkey. He has been working in Turkish Aerospace for 10 years as senior mechanical engineer. Turkish Aerospace which ranks among the top hundred global players in aerospace and defense arena, is Turkey’s center of technology in design, development, modernization, manufacturing, integration and life cycle support of integrated aerospace systems, from fixed and rotary wing air platforms to UAVs and satellites. At this technology center, he got involved in mostly commercial aircraft programs. He has experience in development, transition, and implementation of automated assembly, robotic and process technologies including bearing and gear manufacturing, aircraft fuselage and wing drilling, fastening, painting, sealing, measurement, tooling, and material handling for the aerospace industry. He has led company’s technical development for new assembly automation technologies.
