 Areas of Research

 Design for manufacturability, flexible manufacturing, and MRP type scheduling systems.

Current Research Interests

Dr. Das is developing a methodology for evaluating the quality manufacturability of new designs from an assembly perspective. As part of this research he is investigating new designs for snap-fit and screw fasteners. Also, he is analyzing how to build flexible manufacturing solutions for use in small- and medium-sized companies.
