“…There are various approaches to function-oriented development of complex mechatronics products. Methods such as Product Generation Engineering (PGE) (Aksoy et al, 2021;Albers et al, 2018;Albers et al, 2019a;Albers et al, 2020;Albers et al, 2019b), MBSE and RFLP model (Denger et al, 2012;Husung et al, 2022;Renner, 2007;Stark et al, 2010;Jacobs et al, 2022;Wyrwich et al, 2021;Zerwas et al, 2021;Spütz et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2022), function-oriented product descriptions (Politze and Bathelt, 2009;Politze and Dierssen, 2008; or function-oriented solution search (Gaag, 2010;Gaag et al, 2009) are function-orientation based or aim to integrate it as a main part of the proposed method. Modular product architecture (Schuh et al, 2018;Schuh et al, 2019), requirements engineering (Allmann, 2017;Ehring et al, 2020), integration of geometrical and functional data (Cohrs et al, 2014), functional safety (Kaiser et al, 2013;Ehring et al, 2020), and information management (Friedrich, 2011) employ a function-oriented look at the system.…”

“…Multiple articles consider the user as the end customer of the product and emphasize the importance of customer-oriented development (Aksoy et al, 2021;Albers et al, 2018;Albers et al, 2019a;Albers et al, 2020;Albers et al, 2019b;Allmann, 2017;Politze and Dierssen, 2008;Renner, 2007). However, the user as the designer is not completely regarded in the analysed publications.…”

“…Models are advantageous because they can serve as a communication tool, can remove ambiguities between designers and can provide a consistent and universal database for development. Model-based specifications of the information flow modelling of the customer-product interaction should be investigated further and made accessible to designers (Albers et al, 2020). The functions can and should be used as a communication platform between designers and stakeholders (Allmann, 2017).…”

A component-orientated approach is commonplace in the automotive industry where the development focus lies on components. However, current challenges in the industry necessitates a mindset change in the development. Shifting the perspective from the components to functions can help with changing requirements, manage increasing complexity, support cross-disciplinary development, and foster innovation. To successfully implement this approach, it is essential to address not only the technical aspects of the solution, but also the human and organizational aspects affecting the process for its long-term success.This paper investigates the function-oriented development methods of complex mechatronic products. A systematic literature review is conducted to analyse the current state of research. The existing function-oriented development approaches are summarized, the technological, human, and organizational perspectives are analysed, and the research gaps are highlighted. It is concluded that while function-orientation gains significance in industry and academia, and the importance of human and organizational factors are highlighted in the literature, they are not yet widely considered within the current function-oriented approaches.

“…In product development ALBERS et al contributed in several works [61][62][63][64] to enable MBSE approaches and foster re-use of information in multiple ways. Between product generations, knowledge can be transferred using product profiles linked to product functions [64]. For the continuous validation of products, the authors aim at the re-use of knowledge of validation environments by using elements of a reference system [65].…”

EIPPM—The Executable Integrative Product-Production Model

et al. 2021

In this paper, a combination of graph-based design and simulation-based engineering (SBE) into a new concept called Executable Integrative Product-Production Model (EIPPM) is elaborated. Today, the first collaborative process in engineering for all mechatronic disciplines is the virtual commissioning phase. The authors see a hitherto untapped potential for the earlier, integrated and iterative use of SBE for the development of production systems (PS). Seamless generation of and exchange between Model-, Software- and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations is necessary. Feedback from simulation results will go into the design decisions after each iteration. The presented approach combines knowledge of the domain “PSs” together with the knowledge of the corresponding “product” using a so called Graph-based Design Language (GBDL). Its central data model, which represents the entire life cycle of product and PS, results of an automatic translation step in a compiler. Since the execution of the GBDL can be repeated as often as desired with modified boundary conditions (e.g., through feedback), a design of experiment is made possible, whereby unconventional solutions are also considered. The novel concept aims at the following advantages: Consistent linking of all mechatronic disciplines through a data model (graph) from the project start, automatic design cycles exploring multiple variants for optimized product-PS combinations, automatic generation of simulation models starting with the planning phase and feedback from simulation-based optimization back into the data model.
