RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RISK IDENTIFICATION METHOD SELECTION ACCORDING TO PRODUCT DESIGN AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT MATURITY, PRODUCT INNOVATION DEGREE AND PROJECT TEAM
Grubisic, Viviane & Vasconcellos Ferreira; Ogliari, André; Gidel, Thierry // 2011
No other type of project is in greater need of risk management than new product development projects. This is due, largely, to the innovative profile of such projects and, consequently, of the risks ...
SELECTION OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS BASED ON DISTURBANCES AND ROBUSTNESS RATIOS IN THE EARLY PHASES OF ROBUST DESIGN
Mathias, Johannes; Kloberdanz, Hermann; Eifler, Tobias; Engelhardt, Roland; Wiebel, Marion; Birkhofer, Herbert; Bohn, Andrea // 2011

Shape Language Describes More Than the Body
Langeveld,Lau ; Wiegers,Tjamme // 2011
The design of products involves the whole design process from Design Research to a product. The uncertainty becomes certainty during the design process. Product models have functional relations ...

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE OF USER OBSERVATION
Gerber, Elizabeth // 2011
While scholars have studied what design practices accomplish, few have considered how people feel when enacting these practices and the implication of these feelings on design work. An eighteen-month ...
UMEA - A FOLLOW UP TO ANALYSE UNCERTAINTIES IN TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Engelhardt, Roland; Wiebel, Marion; Eifler, Tobias; Kloberdanz, Hermann; Birkhofer, Herbert; Bohn, Andrea // 2011
In mechanical engineering uncertainties occur during the entire life cycle of a product. These uncertainties are defined as deviations from process and product properties. This makes the development ...
Using DSM Structures to Analyse Uncertainty in Load-carrying Systems
Engelhardt, R.; Eifler, T.; Birkhofer, H.; Bohn, A. // 2011
This article describes a pattern how to use a method to analyse uncertainty in load-carrying structures. Object of this paper is to explain how coherences between uncertainties of process properties ...
AN APPROACH OF A MODEL TO DESCRIBE UNCERTAINTY IN TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Engelhardt, R.; Kloberdanz, H.; Mathias, J.; Birkhofer, H. // 2010
A complete model of uncertainties is being developed in this paper, where uncertainties can be identified on different levels of abstraction. Uncertainties have to be taken into consideration during ...
APPROACH FOR DEVELOPMENT COST ESTIMATION IN EARLY DESIGN PHASES
Hellenbrand, D.; Helten, K.; Lindemann, U. // 2010
A lot of methods deal with the prediction of production or life-cycle costs. At the same time in engineering design there are almost no methods available to predict development costs. These are also ...
Design Education as a Passport to Professional Practice
Tovey, Michael John; Bull, Karen // 2010
The idea of a community of professional practice is a powerful one. There are communities of design practitioners for such groups as architects, graphic designers and others (this is illustrated ...
DESIGN FOR SAFETY IN AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY
Fargnoli, M.; Laurendi, V.; Tronci, M. // 2010
The field of machine safety has recently received new issues by the introduction of the directive 2006/42/CE in EU Countries. The impact of this novelty is significant because of the new Essential ...
Developing Enterprise Opportunities from Placements to Graduate Consultancy in Lean Sustainable Design
Humphries-Smith, Tania Maxine; Hunt, Clive // 2010
This paper reports on the adaption of a model for consultancy of using graduates working on a contract basis for Bournemouth University (BU) but within a client organisation, and managed by a
member ...
Identifying Critical Areas for Styling Data Based Simulation to Evaluate Perceived Quality Related to Non-Rigidity
Wagersten, Ola; Söderberg, Rikard // 2010
When handling mass-produced parts in the automotive industry it is of great importance to take into consideration the geometrical variation that will occur as a result of the
manufacturing process ...
INFORMATION DISPLAY FOR DECISIONS UNDER UNCERTAINTY
Kreye, M. E.; Goh, Y. M.; Newnes, L. B. // 2010
In the early product design stage, considering the Through Life Cost and uncertainty are important. However, the information given to the decision maker is often limited, resulting in a large level ...
Modelling Risk Interactions to Re-Evaluate Risks in ProjectManagement
Fang, C.; Marle, F.; Vidal, L.-A. // 2010
In order to manage risks in complex project, interactions must be integrated with classical characteristics of risks, and propagation behaviour in risk network needs to be analysed. Design Structure ...
Modelling the Influence of Uncertainty – Process Architecture andFeedback Dynamics on PD Projects
Le, H.N.; Wynn, D.C., Clarkson, P.J. // 2010

PEM – a New Matrix Method for Supporting the Logic Planning ofSoftware Development Projects
Kosztyán, Z.T.; Kiss, J. // 2010
Nowadays the notion of ’project’ is often used, however, it is important to make difference between projects. In the followings we make distinction between two groups. In the first group there are ...
Product Development Principles in a Changing World
Ottosson, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Stig // 2010

In the context of new product development, highly constrained multi-disciplinary systems are difficult to design and generally lead to a non-optimal but acceptable solution (Seepersad, 2008). Such ...
Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
