A Manufacturing System Design for Transtibial Prosthetic with CBDM Process in Perspective of Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, the major challenges in producing highly customized
products like prosthetics are the fulfillment of the demand in least
possible time and cost. This study aims to mitigate these problems
associated with the concurrent production system by incorporating
Cloud Based Design and Manufacturing (CBDM) which refers to a
service-oriented collaborative product design and development
model where service consumers are capable of selecting,
configuring, and utilizing customized product manufacturing
resources and services ranging from computer-aided engineering
design software to rapidly reconfigurable shared manufacturing
resources. The study includes an overview of the current situation of
prosthetic production and the possible benefits and challenges of
CBDM implementation in Bangladesh. It also presents a comparison
between three production models for transtibial prosthetic in
perspective of Bangladesh including traditional, combined and
CBDM method depending on production time, capacity and unit
product cost. Approximate production time and capacity is
determined by simulating each model in ARENA simulation software
and unit product cost is calculated by conventional costing method.
Analysis of these production models has proven CBDM to be helpful
in transtibial prosthetic production when incorporated with the
traditional manufacturing process resulting in achieving higher
capacity, shortest delivery time and least possible cost which can
provide a promising approach to implement CBDM in Bangladesh in
the future.
