| Summary: | ABSTRACTThis paper develops a pattern that guides manufacturing system designers and engineers in the identification of requirements and solutions throughout the systems engineering lifecycle. The presented design pattern guides decision-making about the requirements and solutions related to the design and operation of manufacturing plants, lines, cells, and workstations. The research presented in this paper builds on a prior version of the Manufacturing System Design Decomposition, Version 9.2 (MSDD 9.2), which established the requirements and solutions for making effective manufacturing system design decisions. By incorporating decision-centric design and model-based systems engineering tools, MSDD 9.2 is expanded to Manufacturing System Design Decomposition, Version 10.0 (MSDD 10.0) which offers innovative design capabilities in being able to capture and relate all applicable manufacturing system design information as a single source of truth. The design pattern seeks to guide the objective evaluation and introduction of new manufacturing systems, technologies, and products for the manufacturing enterprise.
