DETERMINING AN ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATION OF A MOLDING MACHINE COMPONENT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention teach a method and system for determining an alternative configuration of a molding machine component and presenting such alternative configuration to a customer. For example, a method (300) for determining an alternative configuration for a customer configuration of a molding machine component is provided. The method (300) comprises: receiving (302) an indication of the customer configuration for at least a portion of the molding machine component from a customer (204); determining (304) an alternative configuration for at least a portion of the customer configuration; generating (306) a variance parameter, based on the customer configuration and the alternative configuration.
