Abstract

In today's intensely competitive global market, product enterprises are constantly seeking new ways to shorten products development time and meeting all customer expectations. In general, enterprise developing products had invested in Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and rapid prototyping (RP), and other technologies that provide business benefits. Reverse Engineering (RE) is considered one of these technologies that provide business solutions for product development. The aim of this study is to develop a framework for reverse engineering of spare parts that includes reverse engineering concepts and procedures. The framework is developed using the Integration Definition for Functional Modeling (IDEF0) technique which is considered one of the modeling techniques that can effectively analyze systems into its detailed components simply. The framework evaluation will be carried out through assessing a success percentage of using the IDEF0 model to produce developed spare parts; where the success percentage is the ratio of all features dimensions of the developed product to that of the part to be replaced. The model has shown that it can describe precisely the information flow and material flow in the measuring planning and the execution of a product.
