This chapter addresses the issue of product development chain from the perspective of data modeling and streamlining. The focus is on an emerging ISO standard, informally known as STEP-NC, and how it may close the gap between design and manufacturing for a complete, integrated product development environment. This new standard defines a new generation of NC programming language and is fully compliant with STEP. There is a whole suite of implementation methods one may utilize for development purposes. STEP-NC brings richer information to the numerically-controlled machine tools; hence, intelligent machining and control are made possible. Its Web-enabled feature gives an additional dimension in that e-manufacturing can be readily supported. A case study toward the end demonstrates a STEP compliant, Web-enabled manufacturing system.

Sustainable Product

This paper presents the development of a conceptual model for Method Integrated Product Development Oriented for Sustainability. The proposed method aims to assist designers in the development process, generating design alternatives directed at sustainable development and full life cycle of the product. This research was limited to application of the method to a product category through a case study. The research objective is to present the process of development and application of the method. The results indicate that the proposed method provides the development process to insert the rationale for the development of sustainability-oriented products as a complement to traditional design requirements in existing models of product development. It is believed that its application to other product designs is promising for the development of sustainable solutions.

Scientists And Engineers

Scientists and engineers are increasingly developing software to enable them to do their work. A number of characteristics differentiate the software development environment in which a scientist or engineer works from the development environment in which a more traditional business/IT software developer works. This paper describes a case study, specifically about the development of a mesh-generation code. The goal of this case study was to understand the process for developing the code and identify some lessons learned that can be of use to other similar teams. Specifically, the paper reports on lessons learned concerning: requirements evolution, programming language choice, methods of communication among teammates, and code structure.
