“…function, physics, embodiment, and production (Ehrlenspiel and Meerkamm, 2017). Therefore, variations should be described on different levels (Albers et al, 2020). The generic variation operator is the starting point for the concretization of variations for different model elements: Functions (Albers et al, 2021), properties (Albers et al, 2021), requirements (Wäschle et al, 2021), test-cases (Wäschle et al, 2021, stakeholder needs (Kubin et al, 2023).…”

“…The system tripel of product development according to Ropohl (2009) describes product development as a continuous interaction of the system of objectives, the operation system, and the system of objects. product development as a whole can be described as the selection of RSE in the reference system and the selection of variation types (Figure 2) (Albers et al, 2020). The system of objectives contains elements of various partial models and their interdependencies which describe the target state of the system generation under development.…”

Supporting product developers in innovating is an important task of design research. An invention and a valid need situation described through a product profile are necessary elements of innovation. But how can we derive recommendations on how to develop “innovative” products if the success of a product can only be measured retrospectively? Retrospective case studies are one approach to investigate relationships between context factors, variations in systems and product profiles, and innovation success. To investigate these, we use product profiles in case studies across system generations.

“…The model of the PGE -Product Generation Engineering by ALBERS describes any development of products regardless of whether it is a completely new product, which is called (Albers et al, 2020), or the phenomenon of a subsequent generation, which is more widespread in industrial practice (Albers et al, 2015). Thereby, the development of a new technical system, product or variant and is called a new product generation and is based on a "reference system" (Albers et al, 2019) which marks the starting point of the development.…”

In the development of mechatronic systems, it is important to differentiate the products to be developed from those of the competitors, but also from the own product generations already available on the market. However, there are uncertainties regarding the correct features to be differentiated from the customer and user perspective and how these features should be designed. Nevertheless, despite the high impact, decisions must be taken early in the development process. Within this publication, a method to support in this respect was derived based on the findings of the Model of PGE - Product Generation Engineering and the Kano-Model. Therefore, experienceable product features and reference system elements as characteristics of these are evaluated according to the Kano-Model and thus made comparable with regard to the customers and user satisfaction. The objective is to select the product features to be differentiated and the corresponding reference system elements in such a way that a desired level of customer and user satisfaction is achieved. In order to evaluate the method, it was applied in a real development project. It was found that the application of the method led to a reduction of the existing uncertainty.

“…Mechatronic products can be described at different levels of abstraction via product properties, functions and technical subsystems using a reference product model (Albers et al, 2018). An 18month study at a German automotive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) analysed the propertyfunction-embodiment relationships of a new automotive product generation in relation to its direct predecessor −1 (Albers et al, 2020). The study showed strong tendencies of connection between the variation of the function-embodiment-relation of subsystems and changes in properties.…”

The model of PGE describes the emergence of new systems based on reference by the activities carryover, embodiment and principle variation - qualitatively different manifestations of a transfer process. We investigate indicators which constitute these different manifestations measurably for different types of systems. We propose generalized variation operators to describe system development with respect to different product elements and system types. We use case studies from automotive, production systems and simulation models.
