Quality information produced in manufacturing process is tightly related to product and process design decision-making. However, manufacturing quality information is rarely taken into considerations by product and process designers. It is also difficult for designers to capture quality information. Firstly, the demands for manufacturing quality information supporting product and process design decision-making are analyzed in this paper. Then requirement model of manufacturing quality information supporting design decision-making is given. Thirdly, according to the manufacturing quality information three-layer representation framework based on STEP standards mentioned in our previous research, manufacturing quality information representation in application layer is studied. Fourthly, the paper describes model of manufacturing quality information supporting design decisions using IDEFO diagram. Finally, through some investigation of design process of heavy vehicle transmission, a model of manufacturing quality information supporting transmission design decision-making using IDEFO diagram is proposed.
