“…Finally, all combinations of the remaining process steps are listed, since these combinations also represent applicable adaptations for implementing the required characteristic change. The combination of finishing and drag grinding is added to the PSL, now containing the entries finishing (1), drag grinding (2) and finishing + drag grinding (3).…”

“…Ongoing developments such as ever-shorter product lifecycles [1], the dynamization of market needs and product optimization demands [2] are forcing today's manufacturing companies to redesign their products, thereby changing the components that comprise the products ever more frequently. Component changes are not only an issue during the product development phase but also after market entry [3]. In order to implement a component change after market entry, the existing manufacture must also be changed.…”

A variety of factors are forcing companies to change their products and the components these products are composed of. Examples of current factors are changing customer requirements, product optimizations or ever-shorter product lifecycles. These component changes, particularly in safety-critical components in the medical and aerospace industry, pose great challenges and are limited in scope. The challenges and limitations arise from the high costs and the amount of time involved in component recertification as required by law, as well as revalidations of the manufacturing after a change has been implemented. Some component changes are even mandatory. In this case there are no options for reducing recertification efforts by choosing between different design changes. In contrast, there are alternative manufacturing options with which to implement the prescribed component changes that can reduce the amount of revalidation required on the manufacturing side. Due to the fact that changes to the manufacture of safety-critical components require validation, the existence of alternative manufacturing changes offers the potential to save time and money by selecting the best-suited alternative. In order to be able to select the best-suited alternative, all alternative manufacturing changes must be known, which poses a challenge for technology planners dealing with the complex manufacture of safety-critical components. Therefore, a methodology is introduced to support technology planners in identify alternative manufacturing changes with which to implement scope-restricted changes to safety-critical components. The methodology is validated by applying it to a case study from the medical industry.

“…According to [6,7], MDM showed good potential for modelling of complex and multi-domain systems. Recent reports describe diverse applications of MDM like: analysis of engineering change requests [1], product development planning [11] or change management in manufacturing systems [16]. The complexity of the system considered in this research analysis in different domains is required as a precondition of the research.…”

Purpose of this work was to show connections between vertical hydrogenerator design parameters. Authors made DSM (Design Structure Matrix), to show design parameters dependencies, first matrix size was reduced and it does not consist of all design parameters, it consists only of more relevant design parameters to be solvable. Final size of matrix is 221×221. Matrix shows that electrical generator in some ideal conditions could have almost straightforward path during design procedure. DSM matrix is still in process of verification. After finishing DSM of design parameters, authors made MDM (Multi Domain Matrix) which connects design parameters with mechanical calculations and generator main drawings. This matrix has the purpose to help managers, electrical design experts, other design experts and any others who should not need knowledge about generator design process to easily track changes between parameters and to see how change of some parameter affects drawings and calculations. At the end authors made VBA program which visually shows connections.
