This project was carried out as part of a vehicle manufacturing program, where Intercax and its collaborators built a library of manufacturing resources (machines, tools, fixtures) and unit processes, with the capability of using the data within that library to populate and evaluate prospective manufacturing processes for armored vehicles. This system was named MACME, the Manufacturing Capability Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization Environment. As shown in the figure below, MACME was developed to support the design and management of manufacturing model libraries (M-Libraries) for the project.
