Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Development methods for 2030: An interpretation of scenarios in the application of methods(The Design Society, 2018-08); ; ; ; Using the scenario analysis, context scenarios of the application of methods were derived, for the strategic orientation of development method research. The scenarios of the application of methods are interpreted in this article. For this purpose, a multi-level concept was developed, in which in a first step an expert study with alumni and employees of the IPEK - Institute of Product Engineering of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was carried out with 32 participants. The participants of the study were presented with concise short videos that illustrate the application of development methods in the respective scenario. The respondents' task was to evaluate the scenarios with regard to the actual situation, desired image and probability of occurrence as well as to identify the opportunities, risks and relevant research priorities of the scenarios. The results of the studies were then consolidated step-by-step in the expert team into a total of seven research clusters and linked with a network analysis. After a brief description of the scenarios of the application of methods, these are discussed in the results of this article with the aim of addressing specific short, medium and long-term research incentives.Publicationtype: Conference Paper67 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Managing systems of objectives in the agile development of mechatronic systems by ASD - Agile Systems Design(The Design Society, 2018-08); ; ; ; In the development of mechatronic systems and the associated product services and business models, the system of objectives contains all relevant objectives of various stakeholders, as well as requirements, boundary conditions and interdependencies between objectives. It serves as basis to define the solution area for the technical implementation of products and provides the foundation to validate resulting virtual and physical objects in the process of product development. In particular, the objectives of potential customers and users regarding the product change with an increasing dynamic, which leads to a lack of transparency. Accordingly, the product development process is characterized by constant uncertainties. To be able to counteract these uncertainties, companies are increasingly using agile approaches in order to identify potentially changed objectives at an early stage and to adapt the product along the product development process accordingly. An early validation of prototypes with low functionalities is also carried out under consistent customer integration to identify further objectives early on. As a result, the overall process gains in robustness. One approach that supports the developer throughout the entire development process of mechatronic systems is ASD - Agile Systems Design. It consists of principles, methods and processes of the PGE - Product Generation Engineering and contains a constellation of structuring and flexible elements that can be adapted to the respective development context. To support the process of product development, it is imperative to understand the behavior of systems of objectives in order to be able to derive resulting recommendations for the development. Based on a real development project that has been completed according to ASD, the paper introduces an approach to identify the development of the maturity of the systems of objectives. On this basis, a methodology is presented which supports the agile management of systems of objectives to meet the associated requirements. Thus, a handling of systems of objectives in connection with prototypes generated during the process is presented, which leads to a robust safeguarding of the development direction.Publicationtype: Conference Paper41 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Access status: without files , Supporting Potential Innovation in the Early Phase of PGE – Product Generation Engineering: Structuring the Development of the Initial System of Objectives(2018-06); ; ; ; Products are developed over generations. This coherence is described by the PGE – Product Generation Engineering. Accordingly, a new product generation is based on reference products. Especially in the early phase of development projects there is still a need to further concretize this aspect and thereby not only increase customer benefits for a new product generation, but the provider benefit and thus also the innovation potential. For this it is necessary not only to describe solution-open differentiation goals in the product profile. It is necessary to establish specific references to solution-specific information, such as existing production- or validation systems. Based on empirical studies, requirements for methodical support for the development of the initial system of objectives in the context of the PGE are derived. Using the example of automotive development, this contribution introduces a product model that enables the structuring of the initial system of objectives. Based on this, a procedure model is presented which specifically relates solution-open and solution-specific elements of the system of objectives and thus increases the maturity level of the product profile. The results are evaluated by the example of chassis development in an OEM. Based on the procedure model introduced in this paper, concrete methods can be developed which increase the innovation potential of future product generations.Publicationtype: Conference Paper57
