Improvement of System Design Process: Towards Whole Life Cost Reduction

Designing value-driven solutions: The evolution of industrial product-service systems

“…Bertoni and Bertoni [15] focus on the concept design stage and describe a model-based approach to estimate the life cycle cost of a PSS hardware. Sydor et al [203] evaluate the role that design processes have on reducing whole life cost within the aerospace industry.…”

State of the art in Through-life Engineering Services

“…When assessing the contributions of the lead authors it is found that the average number of contributions from the 135 papers reviewed is 2 papers with the top four contributing first authors being Uhlmann [54] [55] [56], Lindstrom [57] [58] [59], Farnsworth [60] [61] [62], and McWilliam [62] [63] [64]. When reviewing the second authors it was observed that Shehab [65] [66] [67], and Roy [24] [68] [20] [69] all figure strongly. In terms of the geographic origin of the contributions it was observed that the majority of the literature emerges from Western Europe (UK, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Italy), the USA, and Japan.…”

Improving Design for Manufacturing implementation in knowledge intensive collaborative environments: An analysis of organisational factors in aerospace manufacturing

“…It was not possible to find any research that looks at similar methods to extract knowledge from production data that may benefit engineers in NPD to implement DFM. Furthermore, recent quality management is focusing on improving the businesses understanding of project costs and the effects of disruptive events like quality defects and late design changes [13]; but more research is needed that can bridge the gap between understanding the cost of defects and the impact of any subsequent DFM implemented from them.…”
