    Montagegerechtes Produktstrukturieren im Kontext einer Lebensphasenmodularisierung
    (Tutech Innovation GmbH, 2015-01) ;
    The structuring of products is awarded with the highest potentials for assembly effort reduction of variant product families. A research in corresponding literature in the field of engineering design shows deficits of the approaches regarding systematic and consistent applicability in pre-development phase as well as consideration of product variety. In this dissertation a methodical procedure is evolved, that systematically transfers production knowledge and information into product development where it is applied for product structuring. Core element of the approach is a specially developed graphical tool, by this the actual product structuring task is performed. Therefore, the product structure and the assembly process are merged in a mutual graphical tool. In parallel, structuring measures are set up, that are formulated in the syntax of the graphical tool. By applying these measures within the tool, their impact both on the product structure and on the assembly process is directly pointed out. Thereby, an immediate evaluation of the product structuring is facilitated. For an enhancement of the evaluation a key figure system is used. The developed approach is validated within a case study application.

    Product and process evaluation in the context of modularization for assembly
    (Design Society, 2011) ; ;
    Modular product structure determination requires continuous evaluation of the processes involved. Modularization is an appropriate method for product structuring. It takes into account the requirements from product life phases, such as development, production and after-sales. Assembly, as an essential part of production for the company, requires easily mountable products. Short lead-times and flexible processes are some other main requirements. The methodical procedure presented in this paper proposes a single diagram to represent the product structure and its resulting assembly sequence in an integrative manner. The tool developed performs structuring on the product and demonstrates the impact on the assembly process. The use of key figures is proposed for the evaluation. Data required for the calculation of these key figures is extracted from the diagram. The procedure is applied to the development of a model aircraft interior.

    Definition and evaluation of modular product structures in the context of design for assembly
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011) ; ;
    The determination of modular product structures requires a continuous evaluation of the measures taken. Modularization is an appropriate method for product structuring. It provides the opportunity of taking into account the requirements from different product life phases, such as the development, production or after-sales phase. The assembly, as an essential part of the production for the company, demands easy mountable products. Short lead times and flexible processes are the main requirements among others. The methodical procedure presented in this paper proposes the integrative representation of the product structure and its resulting assembly sequence in a single diagram. The developed tool provides the opportunity to perform structuring measures to the product and coincidently show the impact on the assembly process. For the evaluation the use of key figures is proposed. The relevant input for the calculation of these key figures is similarly extracted from the diagram. Conclusively, the procedure is applied to an example of aircraft interior development.
