Assembly analysis (Product Design)
Previous Answer:
To integrate assembly design and assembly operation analysis,
assembly design models should be translated to an assembly analysis models.
There have been some research investigations conducted to integrate product
design and analysis. Peak at al40 presented a multi-representation architecture
of intension of CAD-CAE integration. As an information intensive mapping
between design models to analysis models, a product model-based analysis model
is reached and a framework to achieve design-analysis associativity is
proposed.

The aim of assembly analysis is to identify parts
that can be treated logically independently. It deals with arranging features
into feature packages in the manner by which the resulting Assembly Model (see
Fig.2 ) can be used to structure the development teams needed. Features with
high degree of cohesiveness should be grouped together into packages. Feature
assembly analysis consists of two steps. Feature cluster analysis and feature
package distribution.

Distribution Planning (Marketing)

Answer:
If the flow products from a manufacturing facility is to be the
subject to the flow, then the flow process is referred to as the physical
distribution system. the subjects of physical distribution systems are the
finished goods produced by a firm. The reseurces of physical distrubition
systems include:
1. The customer
2. The sales and accounting departments ,and warehouses
3. The material handling and transportation equipment required
to move the finished product
4. The distributors of the finished product

Physical distribution is the means by which a
product is handled, packaged, shipped, stored, warehoused and transported or
delivered from the source of origin to other channel members.
There are three steps in the planning process of
physical distribution:
Determine who can best sell to the potential users of your product (retailers).
Determine who are the preferred supliers to the selected retailers
(wholesalers).
Determine the types of marketing programs required to entice whosalers to
buy your products (manufacturer’s programs).
