The multi-phase research programme ‘Integrated Design in the Operating Room’ aims to improve the integration and usability of operating room equipment. This paper focuses on a review and analysis of ...
Longmuß, J. // 2002
The principle of Simultaneous Engineering (SE) has generally reached its limits. Today the issue of process security is central in product development. Therefore enterprises will have to work out a ...
Ertsen, M. W. // 2002
Engineering practice employs design teams. In an experiential learning process the separate learning cycles of team members are linked. Capable designers have to be trained at universities. The paper ...
Ulaga, S.; Tašner, B.; Belšak, A.; Flašker, J. // 2002
Consideration of maintainability and reliability in the gearbox design process is explained and some examples are presented. Gearboxes are divided into three categories: maintenance-free, minor ...
López-Mesa, B.; Thompson, G.; Williander, M. // 2002
Potentially, the numerous design methods generated for decades have much to offer in the complex multi-objective product design activity. However, the number of methods used in industry is relatively ...
Rosemann, B.; Meerkamm, H. // 2002
Innovative products are the base capacity for industrial manufacturers and traders to compete in fast changing markets and are consequently the foundation of our social welfare. In opposition to ...
Pavkovic, N.; Bojcetic, N.; Marjanovic, D. // 2002
The aim of this paper is to consider criteria for classifying the relations in engineering data structures. Some methods of modelling the network of relationships in the object-oriented environment ...
Sener, B.; Vergeest, J. S. M.; Akar, E. // 2002
The aim of this paper is to add to the debate through the findings of two discrete ongoing research projects, carried out in the Netherlands and in England, following these common aims: to explore ...
Vroom, R. W.; van Haarlem, L. F.; Ootes, F. P. A. // 2002
We investigated the initiatives on the development of designer’s toolkits by a literature search. To categorize the tools for the different design phases we use a design model. Also an historical ...
Michialino, P.; Cowdroy, R. // 2002
This paper provides an outline of a study of the development of new strategies for an integrated process for the design of public space using participative laboratories. The laboratories involved ...
Kristensen, K.; Hildre, H. P.; Sivertsen, O. I.; Fyhn, H.; Storler, K. // 2002
Engineering designers utilize and depend on both their physical surroundings and different technology-based generic and engineering-specific tools, in order to be effective. Hence, they “orchestrate” ...
Korpela, T. // 2002
Product modelling help the designer to communicate about the design problem with his/her colleagues. Models help also the designer to understand entirely the problem to be solved. Aims of the ...
Ucelli, G.; Conti, G.; Petric, J.; Maver, T. W. // 2002
The JCAD-VR framework is implemented to anticipate the use of VR within the creation phase of the design process. It creates simple parametric 3D-shapes directly in a co-edit VR environment, thus ...
Leclercq, P. P.; Locus, M. E. // 2002
This article describes one of the research studies carried out by LEMA, the Laboratory for the Study of Architectural Methodology, on the representation of the design process in architectural design. ...
Khumomotse, S. M.; M'Rithaa, M. K. // 2002
There is substantial consensus among today’s manufacturers that integration between design and manufacturing is a prerequisite for competing in a global economy. Whereas industry is often responsive ...
Taura, T.; Shiose, T.; Awaji, M. // 2002
In engineering design, it is thought that the designer repeats two steps: to establish the problem framework for generating the design solution and to search for and generate design solutions within ...
Reymen, I. M. M. J.; Hammer, D. K. // 2002
Continuous improvement of design processes is a necessity. Our objective is to stimulate designers to improve their own process by reflecting on their design process. Reflection has already proven to ...
Fiorentino, M.; de Amicis, R.; Stork, A.; Monno, G. // 2002
The authors present SpaceDesign, a computer-aided styling application addressed to the early stages of the design process. Virtual Reality devices are used for expressing first design ideas in an ...
Bender, B.; Kammerer, U.; Pietzcker, F.; Blessing, L. T. M.; Hacker, W. // 2002
In many laboratory studies, design activity has been investigated by observing individual designers or design teams dealing with standardised design tasks. The results are valuable for a better ...
Podehl, G. // 2002
The integration of styling work into the overall product development process is still not sufficiently achieved. Engineering and styling use different concepts and terminologies. Both areas are ...
Marxt, C. // 2002
Due to the increasing complexity of technologies and products, the search for new know-how as well as the shortening of development cycle times a lot of companies collaborate in (new) product design. ...
