Journal Article
Hicks, B., Mullineux, G., Matthews, J., & Medland, T. (2007). Towards an integrated CADCAM process for the production of forming shoulders with exact geometry. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 221(10), 1521-1531. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544054JEM896

This paper considers the application of advanced CADCAM techniques for the production of the complex machine tooling used in packaging fast-moving consumer goods. In particular, the paper discusses the practical considerations and design issues that...

Constraint-based approach to investigate the process flexibility of food processing equipment (2006)
Journal Article
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Mullineux, G., & Medland, T. (2006). Constraint-based approach to investigate the process flexibility of food processing equipment. Computers and Industrial Engineering, 51(4), 809-820. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cie.2006.09.003

Over the last decade the UK food processing industry has become increasing competitive. This leads the sector to maintain high numbers of product variations. Although some of these products are stable over long periods, others are short lived or seas...
