State Of Art

The paper analyzes aspects regarding the product development process of a complex product containing sub-assemblies. The sub-assembly is considered as an independent product integrated in a general assembly. The paper proposes new ideas, adding to the state of art in this field. Thus, a proposed scheme of the product development process is applied with new considerations in the case of a complex product containing sub-assemblies. This scheme contains distinct stages for the main developer, aiming with the general coordination and even the development of sub-assemblies, and third-parties, which develop other sub-assemblies (whether manufactured or not by the main developer).

Over Time

While companies are turning to online communities of outside designers to bring new ideas into their product development process, several questions remain unanswered: How do design communities form, evolve, and die out over time? What integrates newcomers into the community? How can one grow community without impeding idea inspiration? This paper explores these questions by analyzing how OpenIDEO, an Open Innovation design platform, has evolved from conception to present day. We find that OpenIDEO possesses a stable core who frequently collaborate with transient members, and that large single communities have evolved into smaller but denser communities over time. Moreover, OpenIDEO’s use of community managers and incentives promotes an efficient network for generating new ideas, while fostering cohesive collaboration groups. By viewing design communities as an evolving network, we can guide future design communities to become sustainable and efficient — ultimately unlocking their potential to accelerate human development.

Experts hold the same opinion that the main processing mode of manufacturing industry in 2020 is based on CPC. Manufacturing industry information that CPC stands for is a significant signal of comprehensive competition. The paper suggests applying the extenics to the field of product development process ,setting up CPCs theoretical system and overall framework supporting technology, supporting the environment through supporting environment of simulation, developing a way in which an enterprise designs innovatively and adaptively for the product development process. And on the basis, a prototype system has been developed based on a web model to drive a rapid design, optimization and management of product development process of enterprises, which provides new ideas, methods and tools for enterprises to initiate the innovative model design and adaptive design for product development process.

Change Requests

This paper focuses upon understanding the characteristics of engineering changes, in particular changes that emerge during the service phase of complex products, and on how these changes can be related to the product development process. For this purpose, a set of engineering change reports from an aerospace engine has been analyzed and the findings have been compared with change documentation from drilling machinery for the oil industry. These findings give insights into which phases of the design process should be modified in order to reduce the number of change requests from the service phase and to enable designers to efficiently answer the unavoidable change requests. This can be used to improve the product development process in order to take into account the factors leading to changes.

Concurrent Development

The differences of development cycle between product serial and concurrent development process are obtained through simulation in this paper, which implies the importance of rational planning in the process of product development. The models of product serial and concurrent development process are built based on witness. Three types of models for both simple and complex products have been made respectively to simulate ,and then compared results have been got under six different conditions . Among six situations, the results of four are that the time of concurrent process is much shorter than that of serial process; one is that the time is very close; another is that concurrent process is much longer. We draw a conclusion that product development process must be rationally planned in order to shorten the development cycle for some complex products.

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.

Applied Knowledge

AbstractKnowledge is a crucial factor in state-of-the-art product development. It is often provided by stakeholders from divers disciplinary and individual backgrounds and has to be integrated to create competitive products. Still, it is not fully understood, how knowledge is generated, transformed, transferred and integrated in complex product development processes. To investigate the dynamic interrelations between involved stakeholders, applied knowledge types and related artefacts, researchers at the TU Berlin conducted and evaluated a student experiment to study basic phenomena of development projects. In relation to research methods and instruments applied in this experiment, various improvement opportunities were identified. In this paper, the experimental setting and its results are critically analysed from a social science perspective in order to generate improved research design. Based on the results of this analysis, a first set of methods and instruments from social sciences are identified that can be applied in further experiments. The goal is to develop a methodological toolbox that can be used to approach research on knowledge dynamics in product development.
