    During the process of product engineering, decisions with uncertain consequences have to be made about future development (Albers et al., 2017a). Customer, user and vendor requirements that are already known and those who are relevant for the future have to be recognized and transferred into consistent projects. Classical approaches like customer surveys or market analyses are only partially useful for anticipating or validating future product requirements since they rather evaluate todays situation. Methods of foresight are preferably applied to make decisions under circumstances of uncertainty and to generate future knowledge. The following work treats thus a system that enables the user to deduce future requirements based on trend analyses. The system which was first mentioned in Albers et al. and further developed in Marthaler et al. will serve as the basis. (Albers et al., 2018a; Marthaler et al., 2019). The goal is to present and evaluate a system based on the analysis and identification of trends that allows to identify robust requirements for future product generations and to transfer them into concrete development agreements in the form of a development road map.

    In order to live up to the increasing complexity of the product range they are offering, many companies nowadays use restructured product architectures in the form of product kits or platforms. However, this strategy increases the risk of wrong decisions during product engineering significantly since uncertainties regarding the fulfillment of customer requirements rise over the long life cycle of product architectures. At the same time, the scope of changes increases due to the high number of variants which are to be adapted. The goal is to reduce the risk mentioned through suitable methods of foresight and to consider the anticipated dynamics during the early stage of product architecture development. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop and evaluate a system which supports the development and validation of futurerobust modular product architectures by means of the model of PGE-Product generation …

    Strategische Potentialfindung zur generationsübergreifenden Produktentwicklung: Eine qualitative Studie im Live-Lab IP - Integrierte Produktentwicklung

    Decisions that are made in the early stages of the PGE-Product Generation Engineering have a strong impact on the quality, the costs and the time needed for the new products to be developed. Thus, they contribute a lot to their success (Pache et al. 2001; Jahn und Binz, 2009). Nevertheless, this stage is also marked by poor structuring and decision uncertainty (Verworn et al., 2005). The use of foresight represents a methodical approach to extract future knowledge (Albers et al. 2018). However, the transfer of future knowledge in product engineering is still not used sufficiently to this day (Albers et al., 2018). This work presents a system based on foresight which allows a development and validation of products with a long-term time horizon for several generations. The study in the Live-Lab IP - Integrierte Produktentwicklung (IPD-integrated product development) and the following interview with the involved method engineers verify an improved connection between future scenarios and product engineering.

    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.
