AbstractWith industries striving towards increased customisation of complex products through engineer-to-order, methods are continuously sought to rationalise the product development process. To this end, a framework is proposed using CAD configurators, utilising design automation and knowledge-based engineering to integrate sales and design processes in product development. The application of this framework to the design of spiral staircases is described and analysed, with results showing decreased lead-times and a decreased risk for design errors.

Knowledge-based design is a concept for the computer-aided provision and application of different representations of knowledge along the product development process. In this paper, a knowledge taxonomy is proposed, possible applications of knowledge-based design and the resulting benefits are discussed as well as open questions and research needs.

Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to integrate concurrent design and its related processes. Its objective is to shorten the product development cycle, improve the product quality and reduce the product cost. Product development process management is one of the key enabled technologies for the implementation of concurrent engineering. The main purpose of the study on knowledge-based concurrent product development process management is to explore the theory and methods on process modeling, monitoring, analysis, reengineering and so on, and to integrate the knowledge processing into the lifecycle of the product development including mainly the acquisition and usage of design history and domain knowledge. Modeling the product development process is the first step of product development process management. A method for the knowledge-based multi-view process modeling is present. The rule-based mechanism for process implementation is discussed. The method for acquisition of design history and domain knowledge is presented. The multi-agent based architecture of knowledgebased concurrent product development process management system is developed and used successfully during the life cycle of a new type of railway rolling stock development in a Chinese enterprise, QQHR Railway Rolling Stock Company.

According to the study of process management and knowledge management, knowledge based complex product development process management system is built, which is used to control the product development process with the supporting of knowledge. Process management system and knowledge management system are studied, and its prototype is developed on the platform of .NET Framework. Knowledge based process management system can provide necessary knowledge for designers, which can decrease errors, improve intellectualization and efficiency.

An accurate understanding of users' needs is essential for the development of innovative products. This article presents an exploratory method of user centered research in the context of the design process of technological products, conceived from the demands of a large information technology company. The method is oriented - but not restricted - to the initial stages of the product development process, and uses low-resolution prototypes and simulations of interactions, allowing users to imagine themselves in a future context through fictitious environments and scenarios in the ambit of ideation. The method is effective in identifying the requirements of the experience related to the product’s usage and allows rapid iteration on existing assumptions and greater exploration of design concepts that emerge throughout the investigation.
