ABSTRACT

The research in the last fiscal year (2003), we have indicated a conceptual framework of "Cyber Concurrent
Manufacturing (CCM)" system. In order to continue the research in the last fiscal year, a method of modeling in
detail by using a Process Engineering tool is proposed. The method is applied to a case study which is to model
construction processes of the "curtain wall" installation in a virtual construction site. The feature of this method is
to define the total processes with keeping mutual relationship between (1) product design, (2) production system
design, and (3) workstation system design. Furthermore, it is able to previously verify the result of the model
data of (1) to (3) by various 3D-CG simulators before starting an actual construction.

KEYWORDS

Cyber manufacturing, process engineering, 3D-CG simulation, construction management, intelligent
manufacturing system (IMS), product design, production system design, and workstation system design.

INTRODUCTION

This research has been performed as a work package study involved in "Innovative, and Parts-oriented
Construction (IF7-II)" project. IF7-1 project is one of Intelligent Manufacturing System (IMS) program
which was proposed by Japan Ministry of Economic and Trading Industry since 1989. This research member is
