Manufacturing method and accuracy management method

A manufacturing method for a completed member in which a flange of a first member is folded through hemming processing to be in surface contact with an edge of a second member to form a folded portion to join the first member and the second member to each other, the manufacturing method comprising:

• a first analysis process of analyzing, with a finite element method using a model of the completed member, a ratio, among a plurality of evaluation portions provided on the folded portion, between an amount of deformation at a certain one of the evaluation portions when a load is applied to the certain one of the evaluation portions and amounts of deformation at other ones of the evaluation portions than the certain one of the evaluation portions when the load is applied to the certain one of the evaluation portions;
• a second analysis process of analyzing, with a finite element method using a model of the second member, and when a load is applied to each of a plurality of evaluation portions provided on an end at an edge of the second member, an amount of deformation at the certain one of the evaluation portions;
• a measurement data acquisition process of acquiring measurement data of portions corresponding to the plurality of evaluation portions on the first member and the second member before having undergone the hemming processing and measurement data of a plurality of evaluation portions on the folded portion of the completed member formed through the hemming processing;
• an averaging process of performing averaging on the measurement data in accordance with a ratio of amounts of deformation calculated in the first analysis process at the other ones of the evaluation portions than the certain one of the evaluation portions, with respect to the certain one of the evaluation portions;
• an adjustment process of adjusting the ratio to achieve a higher correlation between a ratio of rigidity between the second member and the first member, calculated from results of analyses in the first analysis process and the second analysis process, and a ratio of movement between the second member and the first member in the measurement data, calculated from the measurement data having undergone the averaging in the averaging process;
• a rigidity changing process of changing, when a value of the measurement data at one of the evaluation portions on the completed member exceeds an allowable value, rigidity of the second member based on the correlation having undergone the adjustment in the adjustment process to allow the value of the measurement data to be below the allowable value;
• and
• a manufacturing process of manufacturing the completed member using the second member that has been changed in rigidity in the rigidity changing process.
