Abstract
Process family based on process platform provides an effective solution for rapid process design in mass customization production. Generally speaking, process platform includes three aspects: generic structure, generic planning and variety parameters. The essence of narrow sense process family is generic structure of generic process, in order to achieve the purpose of rapid response of manufacturing as the product family in product design and configuration in rapid response design, based on process platform the connotation of generalized process family is confirmed, which includes three aspects: generic process feature, process knowledge and generic process structure. The architecture of generalized process family is described, and the model of generalized process family is formulated which can be represented by Extensible Markup Language (XML). Finally, the generalized process family of satellite plate is constructed to illustrate the main results.
