The study aims to understand the impact of new digital design and manufacturing tools on the design process. Digital manufacturing technologies are having far reaching impacts on design, however ...
Applying lean thinking to risk management in product development
Willumsen, Pelle; Oehmen, Josef; Rossi, Monica; Welo, Torgeir // 2017
This paper re-conceptualizes risk management (RM) in product development (PD) through a lean thinking perspective. Arguably, risk management in PD projects became a victim of its own success. It is ...
Breakthrough technologies: principle feasibility debates

Creativity as a way to innovate successfully
Guenther, Agnes; Eisenbart, Boris; Dong, Andy // 2017
Selecting innovative design concepts for further development entails decision making under conditions of sometimes extreme uncertainty pertaining to technical feasibility and market potential. In ...
Decision design and re-ordering preferences: The case of an exploration project in a large firm
Le Glatin, Mario; Le Masson, Pascal; Weil, Benoît // 2017
Decision theory has been long applied to project management for risk and uncertainty reduction. Among the foundations, the manager is considered following axioms describing his rationality; the most ...
Design for robustness - Systematic application of design guidelines to control uncertainty
Freund, Tillmann; Würtenberger, Jan; Lotz, Julian; Rommel, Carmen; Kirchner, Eckhard // 2017
In Robust Design literature, the application of Robust Design guidelines is suggested as a measure to obtain a design that is more insensitive against variations. But it lacks a detailed and ...
Development of a knowledge-based system for help in decision making: A medical application
Coton, Justine; Thomann, Guillaume; Villeneuve, François // 2017
A part of the work of a physiotherapist consists on analysing its patients’ motion capacities. In the case of motion analysis, some difficulties can hinder the evaluation process: attention can be ...
Dynamic modelling of relationships in complex service design systems
Hassannezhad, Mohammad; Cassidy, Steve; Clarkson, P. John // 2017
Today’s market conditions such as globalisation and digitalisation have made it challenging to design an effective service system that can efficiently balance organisational service capacity and ...
Empirical study of ill-supported activities in variation risk identification and assessment in early stage product development
Bjarklev, Kristian; Mortensen, Niels Henrik; Ebro, Martin // 2017
The purpose of this paper is to present findings from an industrial case study about the support of activities related to identifying and assessing variation-related issues in the design during the ...
ENCOURAGING CREATIVE RISK TO REDUCE RISK TO LIFE
Hall, Ashley; Kann, Michael Geoffrey; Ferrarello, Laura; Pulley, Robert // 2017
Encouraging creative risk to reduce risk to life explores how a collaborative, cross disciplinary design research and teaching methodology can provide a platform for tackling projects in the complex ...
Engineering design resource planning: A case study in identifying resource forecasting opportunities in research project planning
Holliman, Alexander; Thomson, Avril; Hird, Abigail // 2017
Resource forecasting is a key element to project planning, this is particularly true for research and design. Due to uncertainties inherent in such fields, resource demand forecasting is a specific ...
Engineering of assembly systems using graph-based design languages
Breckle, Theresa; Kiefer, Jens; Rudolph, Stephan; Manns, Martin // 2017
Car Manufacturers are subject to continuous and fundamental changes. Already today increasing time pressure, rising complexity and a soaring cost pressure require a shorter time to market. As ...
Enhancing the balancing while synthesizing-process - a method development project
Noubarpour, Dennis // 2017

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.
