Study of an algorithm regarding production scheduling for injection mold manufacturing

Abstract

The objective of this study is to establish an algorithm for estimating the time necessary to manufacture an injection mold. The idea is based on the fact that one of the most crucial activities for a successful business is to correctly define the time and also cost of the product’s machining hours. It will sum up various variable based on gathered data. The variable will be focused around the quantity of material manufactured during a certain period of time. This algorithm will empower the designer to give a more precise evaluation of hours and cost in shorter period of time based on the mold 3D model.
