Maintenance And Repair

New customer demands and increased legislation drive business-oriented companies into new business models focusing on the entire life cycle of the product. This forces the manufacturing companies into service-oriented solutions as a compliment to the original business areas. Takata [1] postulates that “the goal is no longer to produce products in an efficient way, but rather to provide the functions needed by society while minimizing material and energy consumption”. This new situation affects the product requirements as well as product development process (PD). When focusing on the entire product life cycle, product aspects such as maintenance and repair will receive more attention since the companies will be responsible for them. In the product development process of today, especially in the automotive industry, maintenance and repair aspects (repair and maintenance methods and manuals, for example) are currently taken care of when the product is more or less fully developed. Maintenance and repair requirements are difficult to quantify in terms of core product properties (for vehicles, cost, CO2 emissions, weight, and so on). This leads to difficulties in equally considering maintenance and repair requirements while balancing vast amounts of product requirements. This paper focuses on a comparison and discussion of existing design guidelines affecting the structure and organization of parts in an assembled consumer product, such as Design for Assembly (DFA), Design for Maintenance (DFMa), Design for Service (DFS) and Design for Disassembly (DFD) methods. A tool for evaluation and analyzing product architecture as well as assemblability and maintainability is proposed.

The Impact

Even though the literature on product and process development is extensive, not much attention has been devoted to categorizing the product development process itself. Existing work on product development processes such as Total Design, Integrated Product and Process Design among others advocate common approaches that should be followed throughout the organization, without any consideration of product characteristics. In this paper we review several existing development methodologies. Extensions of these are categorized by their applicability to different classes of products. We propose that development processes should be matched to product attributes and organization goals. Towards this end, we associate development processes along with their components such as House of Quality, Robust Design, TRIZ etc. with goals such as time to market, customer needs satisfaction, intellectual property generation, protection and exploitation, quality, product cost and others. We examine the impact of this association on the development process itself and propose guidelines for constructing specific processes associated with one or more goals. Tools and benchmarks for various applications are discussed, along with some case studies on the design of different development processes.

Abstract Green Quality Function Deployment-II (GQFD-II), a new methodology for product development or improvement, is introduced in this paper. By integrating Life Cycle Costing (LCC) into QFD matrices and deploying quality, environmental and cost requirements throughout the entire product development process, GQFD-II elaborates the original GQFD, in which Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and QFD are combined to evaluate different product concepts. GQFD-II includes three major phases. Phase I - Technical Requirement Identification. Quality house, green house and cost house are established in this phase, where customer, environmental and cost requirements are established and documented. Phase II - Product Concept Generation. A series of product concepts are generated to satisfy the requirements established in Phase I. These concepts can be evaluated with respect to quality, environment and cost. The best product concept is then selected. Phase III - Product/Process Design. In this phase, the requirements from previous phases are deployed into all product/ process design stages. In this paper, an illustrative example (light fixtures) is used to demonstrate the concept of GQFD-II.

Product development decisions in the early stages of the development process critically impact life cycle cost and revenue potentials. Design for Manufacturability tools and methods provide key insights into product’s requirements based on the voice of customers. Other quantitative analysis tools, such as computer aided modeling and optimization techniques enhance product developers’ understanding in the products under development. However, the dynamic nature of product development process suffers from unavoidable risks due to the lack of information on key parameters of a product’s life cycle. This paper introduces the fundamentals of Decision Analysis applicable to product development process as a way of dealing with dynamic product development risks. The application of specific tools is shown via a simulation game based on a robot platform development case. We summarize the lessons learned, and conclude on how decision analysis principles could be used for the platform/product design process.

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um mapeamento e classificação da literatura, bem como uma análise bibliométrica sobre os conceitos Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), Product Development Process(PDP), Environmental Sustainability (ES) e suas interfaces. As publicações de interesse foram localizadas por meio de consultas na base de dados de periódicos da ISI Web of Knowledge, por meio do portal da CAPES, considerando publicações entre 2006 e 2010. Os resultados indicam que os trabalhos são publicados em uma gama variada de periódicos e congressos e que a maioria das publicações analisadas utiliza como abordagem metodológica o estudo de caso, mas também existe uma grande proporção de trabalhos teórico-conceituais. Quanto à natureza dos dados verificou-se que a abordagem qualitativa tem sido mais adotada e é praticamente predominante a condução de estudos descritivos. Em síntese, os trabalhos analisados incorporam o conceito de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM no PDP e são mais aplicados em empresas, cadeia de suprimentos e desenvolvimento de software. De modo geral, os trabalhos analisados enfatizam a melhoria da gestão do PDP, o aumento do desempenho e a integração de informações de diferentes áreas e sistemas. A literatura converge para a inserção dos conceitos de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM nas atuais práticas do PDP.

In the product development process, as it is currently practiced, production is still often neglected in the early design phases, leading to late and costly changes. Using the knowledge of product designers concerning production process design, this paper introduces an ontological framework that enables early feasibility analyses. In this way, the number of iterations between product and process design can almost certainly be reduced, which would accelerate the product development process. Additionally, the approach provides process engineers with possible production sequences that can be used for process planning. To provide feasibility feedback, the approach presented relies on semantic web technologies. An ontology was developed that supports designers to model the relations among products, processes, and resources in a way that allows the use of generic Sparql Protocol And RDF Query Language (SPARQL) queries. Future applicability of this approach is ensured by aligning it with the top-level ontology Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering (DOLCE). We also compare the ontology’s universals to fundamental classes of existing knowledge bases from the manufacturing and the batch processing domains. This comparison demonstrates the approach’s domain-independent applicability. Two proofs of concept are described, one in the manufacturing domain and one in the batch processing domain.

Seven Principles

The paper describes a set of seven fundamental principles for achieving “best concurrency and simultaneity.” The concurrent approach is gaining worldwide attention at this moment. The paralleling of life-cycle activities and process restructuring are being deemed necessary by more and more industries. An automobile product development process example is used in this paper to illustrate many aspects of these seven principles. The principles help the concurrent teams, first, to define how to decompose the product, process and work activities and then, how to arrange these decomposed activities so that “best concurrency and simultaneity” can be achieved.
