Applying the Axiomatic Design with Design Constraint to Redesign of Automatic Work-piece Changer

This paper is aimed to propose a design of the Automatic Workpiece Changer (AWC), which will be redesigned from the existing one to reduce the time on design processes. To redesign AWC, Axiomatic design and design constraints are applied. The process composes of 2 phases, i.e., first to decompose the existing design and to represent the Design Matrix (DM) of the product and second to convert the DM to Design Structure Matrix (DSM). The first phase output is the multiple layers of DSM. Then the new task is clarified and the design constraints are considered with the design solution. Lastly, it is step of identifying the future change in the second phase. The process will help the designer to analyze the elements that affect the change, which helps him determine the propriety of the design in the economic aspect. Finally, the result of the study is the future change of AWC which can be modified to suit modules.
