| Abstract | Rapid changes and specialization in technology make it increasingly difficult for designers to keep track of the current capabilities of manufacturing processes and choose the appropriate one. Improper process selection leads to higher costs, lower quality and wrong choice of the supplier. Currently, there is no software advisory system to help the design/procurement personnel in process and supplier selection. The complexity involved in building an application encompassing the capabilities of dozens of processes and its associated suppliers acts as a deterrent for application service providers. This paper discusses a technique to rapidly develop web applications to identify a suitable manufacturing process and supplier/s using Rapid Application Development (RAD). RAD refers to a new computing paradigm to develop software applications within a short time frame. The technique has been verified by developing an advisory system to identify a suitable plastic process and supplier/s. The methodology is currently limited to common manufacturing methods such as castings, forgings, sheet metal and plastic/composite manufacturing. Benefits realized using RAD include shorter design and development times, code reusability and standardization. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
