AbstractThe paper concerns the Finnish product development teacherś perceptions on their pedagogical content knowledge in higher education settings. The aim is to describe and analyse what kind of pedagogical content knowledge the teachers have and, therefore, to provide a better understanding of the type of knowledge unique to product development teaching. The model of pedagogical content knowledge used here includes the components of product development content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. Based on seven teacher interviews, the main content knowledge concerns the process of product development, its different phases and methods as well as the usage of different software programs. The teachers use diverse teaching methods and their attitude towards educational technology is mostly positive. Course learning outcomes and working life are acknowledged when planning teaching, but only a few teachers take curriculum into account and participate in curriculum design. Even though the teachers use different evaluation methods in teaching, new ways of evaluation are needed. This may be something that innovative educational technology tools can make possible.

Around 80 per cent of the costs and problems of quality are created in product development. The paper overviews a knowledge-based design technique for the prediction of potential variability risks in component manufacture and assembly, and presents a method for linking the risk metrics to notions of design acceptability and potential costs of quality in production and service. The paper considers issues related to application of the work to industrial products and describes its coupling with failure modes and effects analysis.

The knowledge‐based view of the firm suggests that knowledge is the firm’s key resource for creating and sustaining economic rent. This perspective raises an important question for marketers: What is marketing knowledge? We argue first that marketing knowledge resides in three key marketing processes: product development management, customer relationship management, and supply chain management. Second, we argue that marketing knowledge is the extent of understanding of these three marketing processes, an extent which can be measured by evaluating awareness of factors, control of factors, and application of knowledge in new markets. We empirically test this conceptualization of marketing knowledge and, as a predictive validation, examine its relationship with marketing innovation.

Abstract Designers often lack important information about achievable manufacturing tolerances. Moreover tolerances are not considered from the beginning of product development. This often leads to inaccurately specified parts. Furthermore the full potential of the manufacturing departements is not used. This contribution tackles those areas by presenting a knowledge-based engineering workbench for automated tolerance specification, which has also been implemented using a commercial CAD system. This tool allows the designer to assign part tolerances that take into account the achievable accuracies for a specific manufacturing process, while at the same time allowing for specific part properties. The novelty of the presented approach can be found in the knowledge-based support of the product developers in tolerance specification by employing an engineering workbench. Moreover preprocessing for variation simulation and analysis is supported. It is possible to automate parts of the tolerance specification process, using the presented approach.
