Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Towards an impact model of modular product strategiesThe choice of modular product structure strategies has far-reaching implications for development, production, and other aspects of the product life cycle. So far there is only limited methodological support for the decision process. This contribution proposes a conceptual impact model that illustrates the relationships between modular product strategies, induced effects, and resulting economic targets. The proposed impact model supports the decision making process in the early product development stage and serves as a basis for further methodological development.Publicationtype: Conference Paper26 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Rethinking daily stand-ups: AI analysis to identify improvement potentials in agile development teams(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; Daily stand-ups often deviate from their intended efficiency. This study shows that challenges like unequal participation, recurring blockers, and lack of goal orientation can be made visible through an AI-based analysis method. Validated in several iterations with real company data, the method provides transparent and data-protection-compliant results. By identifying specific improvement potentials, the approach creates a data-driven foundation for teams to optimize their meetings and their collaboration.Publicationtype: Conference Paper31 13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Measure it to manage it - quantitative review of product family complexity metrics(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; ; Product variety increases complexity across product, process, and organizational domains, yet existing complexity measures offer limited guidance for design decisions. This study implements established metrics within a framework to enable consistent assessment across domains. The results reveal substantial redundancies among these metrics - with the notable exception of modularity, emphasizing its central role in complexity management. The consolidated measure set provides practitioners with a systematic basis for evaluating design strategies and managing complexity in product families.Publicationtype: Conference Paper36 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Drivers and barriers of learning MBSE: design and validation of a RAG-based AI chatbot leveraging smart views(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; Learning MBSE is hindered by abstraction and complex tools. This paper identifies barriers via literature review and interviews to design a RAG-based chatbot acting as a “smart view” for contextual guidance. Evaluated through a semester-long field study and a controlled experiment, the prototype shows high usability and reduces cognitive load. While performance is comparable to traditional e-books, the RAG-enabled system effectively mitigates entry-level barriers and aids authentic project work through stepwise tutoring, offering a scalable, interactive complement to MBSE education.Publicationtype: Conference Paper28 17 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , A product-oriented visualization method supporting communication and planning in engineering reviews(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; In iterative product development, teams encounter various issues, such as difficulty communicating easily with stakeholders during reviews or internally during sprint planning. The present paper proposes a product-oriented visualization method that highlights engineering changes and deviations, enhances communication, anchors review feedback directly to components, and supports deriving actionable planning steps. Its implementation in development settings has demonstrated the enhancement of transparency, shared understanding, and traceability.Publicationtype: Conference Paper59 11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Effects of design decisions on sustainability in product development: a case study for machine tools(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; This study examines how product development activities influence the environmental sustainability of complex mechatronic systems using a 2D-flatbed laser cutting system as a case study. Three levels are identified, the machine, operation and part level, at which design changes can affect environmental sustainability during machine operation. Utilizing operational machine data, nine design changes are derived indicating that ∼36% of the environmental impact in the use phase can be reduced through technical design solutions, enabling EcoDesign principles supported by data-driven approaches.Publicationtype: Conference Paper23 18 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Assessing the effects of product family design strategies on resource consumption and costs: an extended axiomatic design approach(2026-05); ; This study presents a simulation-based framework to analyze resource consumption and cost effects of product family design strategies. Drawing on Extended Axiomatic Design (EAD) and 53 documented design cases, we simulate empirically grounded patterns that reveal denser, more homogeneous resource use than benchmarks from cost accounting literature. The findings (1) provide a reusable dataset; (2) demonstrate the value of EAD for standardized product family design and enhanced cost transparency; and (3) support broader generalization of cost accounting insights.Publicationtype: Conference Paper22 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , Teamflow in product development teams: designing resilient engineering environments(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07); ; ; ; This paper presents a controlled laboratory study investigating how environmental factors influence team resilience and teamflow in product development contexts. It examines which factors shape teams’ adaptive responses and collective engagement. In the study, one factor per People–Organization–Technology dimension was systematically manipulated: member unavailability, time autonomy, and material quality. Results reveal distinct effects on performance and collaborative dynamics, providing empirical foundations for designing resilient team environments in engineering work.Publicationtype: Conference Paper51 8 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: with files , From models to impact: a human-AI approach for effective support of collaborative teams in agile product development(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2026-07-02); ; ; Agile teams often encounter obstacles in systematically identifying the underlying root causes of collaboration challenges and deriving effective countermeasures. Grounded in the Design Research Methodology, this study investigates a hybrid AI-human approach for targeted generation of problem-specific reference and impact models to enhance systematic improvement in agile product development. A structured workflow integrates AI capabilities (e.g. scaffolding, consistency) and expert knowledge (causality, context), while a three-stage review ensures methodological rigor and result reliability.Publicationtype: Conference Paper25 10
