Constraint-based approach to investigate the process flexibility of food processing equipment (2006)
Journal Article

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...

A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., & Mullineux, G. (2006). A constraint-based modelling approach, to assess the capability of food processing equipment to handle product variation. In R. Rohatyski, & P. Polednik (Eds.), Design methods for practice (95-104). Zielona Gora, Poland: Design Society

For design and development engineers, difficulties arise ensuring that existing manufacturing equipment has the potential to handle both large product variation and complexity of process. The food processing industry maintains the highest number of p...

Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance (2006)
Book Chapter
Matthews, J., Singh, B., Medland, A. J., Mullineux, G., & Hicks, B. (2006). Constraint modelling as a means for understanding the limitations of a design and its performance. In S. Tichkiewitch, & M. Tollenaere (Eds.), Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering, IDMME 2006. AIP-PRIMECA

When new design tasks are undertaken, knowledge of the design area is often ill-understood and the appropriate design rules are unclear. What are more apparent are the constraints which place limits upon the allowable forms of feasible design. This p...

Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system
Conference Proceeding
Singh, B., Matthews, J., Mullineux, G., & Medland, A. J. (2006). Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system. In D. Marjanovic (Ed.), In DS 36: Proceedings DESIGN 2006, the 9th International Design Conference, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Computer aided design (CAD) has facilitated designer's task by automating many of the activities involved in a conventional design process. This can be further augmented by use of constraints in CAD systems. However there is still need for incorporat... Read More about Embedding general constraint resolution into a CAD system.
