A productivity improvement architectural framework with a supporting fixture management system

This paper proposes a software architecture framework that benefits the industry for collecting, storing, and managing unmanaged data in a single location, enhancing shop floor productivity by designing a computer-aided fixture management system. A model architecture is built to examine and select appropriate information for the fixtures. The model works as a database management system and a previewer for any technical and non-technical person who can evaluate data. It has been determined that this software model architecture increases production while reducing unnecessary hassles for operators and supervisors. As a result, software model implementation is critical in small-scale businesses considering any manufacturing format that employs modular or traditional fixtures.
