“…Process knowledge is necessary to ease the product development and to adjust the development processes such as design and simulation, or design and manufacturing (Magrab et al, 2010). Therefore, the design methodology of a company may define components which must be available in 3D models in order to ease the generation of a manufacturing BOM.…”

Product data contains one of the most valuable assets of a company-intellectual property (IP). Knowledge-based engineering techniques are applied today in order to improve the product development. Thus, company specific product and process know-how is integrated into CAD data as formula, material specification, manufacturing information and so on. Furthermore, essential information, e.g., process knowledge is available in non-CAD documents. The context of cross-company product development necessitates the exchange of data with different companies, for instance, competitors. Exchanging data in such a network increases the risk of know-how being theft. The internet and sovereign privacy laws have been on a collision course for long time now, with growing tensions arising in all jurisdictions. Thus, appropriate organisational and technical protection concepts and means are necessary. This paper presents intelligent ways to protect know-how without preventing the intended information flow. It presents practical methods and processes for; planning, implementing and using enterprise right management (ERM) in a cross-company context. Furthermore, this paper defines essential prerequisites to broaden ERM in the automotive industry.

In design classes, functional analysis is a process that is typically used to assist students with identifying essential functions to aid in the development of their concepts. However, it has been observed that students sometimes struggle with this part of the design process. In this study, a group of 26 students were studied in a 3-level within-subject study (n=78) to determine which of three common functional analysis approaches (i.e. top-down, energy-flow, and unstructured) was most effective. Participants were asked to dissect a hair dryer, power drill, and NERF pistol and generate function trees describing how these work. Measures of effectiveness include the number of functions generated, the number of errors, the number of levels of abstraction represented in the tree, and the number of unique subsystems and functions identified. No statistical difference between the approaches was found, and there was also no practical difference between the approaches. These results suggest that for novice engineers, there is no difference between methods used. This possibly indicates that for novice engineers, formal methods may not be any more effective than an unstructured approach.

“…As described in detail in the next section, a desirable product (one residing near the Pareto frontier) may be adapted to become a different desirable product (another one residing near the Pareto frontier) through the addition of modules and reconfiguration. This calls for the strategic design of platforms and modules that make products progressively expandable [15,27,28]. Previous work in the areas of product family, modularproduct, and flexible system design serve as a starting point, and as a source for design principles.…”

Reconfigurable products can adapt to new and changing customer needs. One potential, high-impact, area for product reconfiguration is in the design of income-generating products for poverty alleviation. Non-reconfigurable income-generating products such as manual irrigation pumps have helped millions of people sustainably escape poverty. However, millions of other impoverished people are unwilling to invest in these relatively costly products because of the high perceived and actual financial risk involved. As a result, these individuals do not benefit from such technologies. Alternatively, when income-generating products are designed to be reconfigurable, the window of affordability can be expanded to attract more individuals, while simultaneously making the product adaptable to the changing customer needs that accompany an increased income. The method provided in this paper significantly reduces the risks associated with purchasing income-generating products while simultaneously allowing the initial purchase to serve as a foundation for future increases in income. The method presented builds on principles of multiobjective optimization and Pareto optimality, by allowing the product to move from one location on the Pareto frontier to another through the addition of modules and reconfiguration. Elements of product family design are applied as each instantiation of the reconfigurable product is considered in the overall design optimization of the product. The design of a modular irrigation pump for developing nations demonstrates the methodology.
