Machine configuration analysis using multi instance modelling (2008)
Journal Article
Medland, A. J., Mullineux, G., Matthews, J., & Singh, B. (2008). Machine configuration analysis using multi instance modelling. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 222(9), 1161-1170. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544054JEM1135

The design practices used within small special purpose machine design companies often mean that they produce machines that are tailored for the specific requirements of a customer. This can lead to an unnecessarily large family of machines, supported... Read More about Machine configuration analysis using multi instance modelling.

A constraint-based approach for assessing the capabilities of existing designs to handle product variation (2008)
Thesis
Matthews, J. A constraint-based approach for assessing the capabilities of existing designs to handle product variation. (Thesis). University of Bath. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1012956

All production machinery is designed with an inherent capability to handle slight variations in product. This is initially achieved by simply providing adjustments to allow, for example, changes that occur in pack sizes to be accommodated, through us...
