Making requests for information and undertaking searches to satisfy them is an essential part of the design process. The way in which engineering designers make requests and how they interact with ...
Lauche, K.; Busby, J.S.; Bennett, S.A. // 2004
Simplifying strategies are useful and often necessary to make the design process tractable. They are also a generic human reaction to cope with complexity. Yet if a design is modified or put to use ...
Gerbino, S.; Brondi, A. // 2004
In the actual design contest, where many different types of expertise need to be integrated in the design process, the interoperability among the used computer-aided tools is a requirement. With ...
Semenenko, A.; Krikler, R. // 2004
In the early 90’s, JOSEPH PINE introduced the fundamental concept of mass customization [PIN–93], which in opposite to the traditional serial production, is a customer driven approach of producing ...
Suistoranta, Seppo // 2004
This study focuses on the design process of industrial products, which are understood as technical systems that are used in business-ta-business market. In industrial companies, a process-driven ...
Ruiz-Dominguez, G.; Boujut, J-F. // 2004
Cooperation is an important issue in design teamwork. This paper is an attempt to contribute a theoretical framework through the modelling of the process of creating a mutual understanding during ...
Weber, C.; Pohl, M.; Steinbach, M. // 2004
Complex product development projects require the handling of information/knowledge from three domains. While product and project related information is at least formally modelled, design process ...
Mayer, H.; Stark, H. L.; Ford, R. // 2004
From the perspective of practicing designers of industrial plant, there is a need for design science to acknowledge the fact that a mountain of decisions has to be got through, while minimising ...
Dünser, T. // 2004
This paper presents instructions to support finding the best design step sequence for product development. Aiming at the detailed navigation questions of practical development, it can be seen as an ...

Janitza, D.; Irlinger, F. // 2004
The paper presents a possible approach for the intensive integration of the customer within the product development process. Existing methods to deal with the complexity of product development cycles ...
Lindekens, J.; Depuydt, J. // 2004
The relevance and use of a taxonometric design method in architectural education is discussed. Based on and nourished by the (architectural) (re-)design process, which is considered a complex ...
Nissl, A.; Lindemann, U. // 2004
Many companies apply the method of Target Costing in order to offer products with an optimal cost-performance ratio. Due to this method, every decision within the product development process has to ...
Kaljas, Frid; Kallo, Rommi; Reedik, Vello // 2004
It is obvious that the integration of different technologies into interdisciplinary systems cannot be treated as their simple summing but as a way of compensating their mutual weaknesses and ...
Franke, H.-J.; Deimel, M. // 2004
The paper describes two approaches to select easily methods for the support of single working steps within the design process. Further, it is essential for the desired support of the entire process, ...
Andersson, K. // 2004
In order to support a question-answer driven simulation process, a design process model capable of describing problem statements, model specifications, simulation models and problem answers as ...
Motte, D.; Andersson, P.-E.; Bjärnemo, R. // 2004
An increasing number of studies have been focusing on the cognitive abilities and limitations of the designer during the design process, yet thus far only for the conceptual design phase. This paper ...

Jarratt, T.; Eckert, C.; Clarkson, P.J. // 2004
Most designers struggle to fully understand a complex product. Throughout the entire life cycle of a product engineers are frequently required to predict how changes could propagate. Currently, few ...
Wünsche, T.; Blessing, L. // 2004
The aim of this study was to find out to what degree disassembly-supporting connections are known and used in practice; how knowledge of the existence of such connections affects their use. It could ...
