Abstract: A method for efficiently implementing an N-step manufacturing process for producing a mechanical part may include creating a parametric master model that represents a part to be produced in an N-step manufacturing process. The method may also include using the parametric master model to create process plans for the N-step manufacturing process. After manufacturing step i of the N-step manufacturing process, the method may include receiving information concerning values of parameters in the parametric master model as they exist after manufacturing step i of the N-step manufacturing process. Updates to the parametric master model may be made based on the information that was received. The process plans corresponding to manufacturing step i+1 of the N-step manufacturing process may be updated based on the updated parametric master model.

Abstract: The present invention advances prior art animal food products by providing an animal food product formulated with Garicinia mangostana L., or Mangosteen fruit, from the Mangosteen plant. The addition of Mangosteen to the animal food product of the present invention serves to provide significant health advantages not found in prior art animal food products.
